Whether made from scratch or bought fresh from the grocery, meatballs are smokey bombs of beefy joy. Meatballs nestled in a grilled bun on a heaping layer of marinara sauce also make great...eyes.

Your meatball sub might have taken a scary turn, but we guarantee it’s still just as delicious.

Scary Eyes Meatball Sub

Ingredients:

• 12 Meatballs, raw
• 3 sub rolls
• 1 cup marinara sauce
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 12 green olives stuffed with garlic
• 6 black olives, sliced

Instructions:

1. Prepare the grill for direct grilling over medium heat (350º to 450º F).
2. Slice each olive approximately ¼-inch from the opening so the garlic stuffing shows. Slice each black olive in half.
3. Brush the cooking grates clean.
4. Grill the meatballs over direct medium heat, turning several times, for approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
5. Split the sub rolls and grill cut side down over direct medium heat until marked, approximately 30 seconds.
6. Equally top the bottom of each roll with marinara sauce, 4 meatballs, and cheese.
7. Place a green olive and black olive slice on each meatball so they resemble eyes and eyebrows.
8. Serve warm.

Whether you’re constructing a new home or simply redesigning your current living space, there are many considerations that can truly make a house a home.

Amid budget considerations, design vision boards, specs and blueprints, amenities like a new fireplace can allow homeowners to celebrate the warmth, comfort and ambiance a fireplace or other hearth product can provide. In fact, 7 out of 10 of homeowners have a fireplace and usage has increased during all four seasons since 2020, according to research from the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association, showcasing that including a fireplace in your construction or renovation plans is a gift to yourself and your family.

Consider these four benefits of including a fireplace as part of your next home update:

• It can be a sanctuary from the ever-changing world outside. As people continue to spend more time at home, a fireplace can serve as a source of calm and relaxation, helping you and your family escape from the challenges daily life may throw your way.
• It’s an artful piece of decor to display year-round. Whether it’s a centerpiece for your living room or family room, or an accent to your bedroom, bathroom or study, a creatively designed fireplace can provide an artful design element for your home, no matter the season.
• It’s a safe, reliable heating source. A fireplace is an extra layer of security when weather wreaks havoc and can provide safe, reliable heat and lighting in the event of a power outage.
• It can be the heartbeat of your home. Between screen time, remote work schedules and commitments to extracurricular activities, many families experience fragmented home lives. A fireplace, though, can serve as a central gathering spot for you and your loved ones when together.
