Textbooks broke my bank in the past...

Did you know that the average student will spend over $500 per term buying textbooks? Seems like an awful lot of money to buy textbooks that often get opened one time, right? Well, with Chegg.com, you will save hundreds!

So stop wasting your money and start renting from Chegg.com. I’m on the bandwagon and I’ve saved enough to buy all my term papers! Not really, but I have saved some serious cash by Chegging my books.

I have a promo code that will save you an additional 5% (They've upped the discount code to give you 11% off!) off your total order, use CC123744.

Want proof?

Financial and Managerial Accounting by Warren and Reeves (9th edition) sells USED at 119.99 if you buy it on Amazon.com. If you rent it on Chegg.com for an entire semester, it’s only $11.69. That’s a savings of over $100!

It’s so simple, just search for the books you need and place your order. Chegg will ship them to you fast (I mean fast! I ordered two books on a Wednesday. I received one of them Thursday and the other Friday!) and at the end of the term you ship them back for free.

What’s really cool is that they plant a tree for every book that you rent.

Don’t forget to visit Chegg.com and use promo code CC123744.

Polpettoni al Formaggio

In other words... cheesy stuffed meatballs!

This is a favorite of Chad's. Add to some angel hair pasta with a butter garlic sauce and you will have a new family favorite.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup good-quality dried bread crumbs
• 1/3 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
• 1/2 pound ground chuck
• 1/2 pound ground sirloin
• 1/2 pound Italian fontina (or mozzarella) cheese, cute into small peices
• salt and pepper to taste

Follow these steps!

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Put the bread crumbs in a medium bowl and pour the cream over them. Mix with a fork; the mixture will not be soupy.
3. Add the ground chuck and sirloin. You can add some salt and pepper in at this time. Mix with a fork or your hands to combine the ingredients. Divide the mixture into 8 equal pieces and roll each in the palm of your hands to make packed 2 1/2 inch balls.
4. Insert your thumb into the middle of each ball and push in a piece of cheese. Close the meatball, encasing the cheese, and smooth the top.
5. Place meatballs on a rimmed, nonstick baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are nicely browned. Serve as is, or add them to your favorite pasta and sauce!

This recipe makes 8 meatballs. All credit for this recipe goes to Ciao Italia: Five Ingredient Favorites by Mary Ann Esposito.
