The Lonely Meatball
Some of my favorite moments in life include having friends over enjoying something that I have cooked. Saturday was one of those moments. I made these meatballs as a result of just having all the ingredients in the house. Everyone really enjoyed them and I promised that the recipe would be in the blog within the next few days. When the gathering was over and we were cleaning up, I said to Dean, “Oh, look at that very lonely meatball.” Dean took a quick snap of the one meatball left. The picture isn’t very pretty but it definitely shows the happiness I felt that they were almost gone (because we all know that no-one wants to take the last one).
I hope you try these for your friends and they enjoy them as much as we did.
Enjoy…
