Recipes: Meatballs

Meatballs are one of my "go-to" meals. They are so easy, my family loves them, and they re-heat amazingly! My sister-in-law turned me onto them 4 or 5 years ago. She used to go through food phases where she would make something over and over again until she was tired of it and then move onto something else. This was one of those meals she made twice a week for several weeks...they are good but not that good. I throw them together about once a month. I serve them with rice but my mother-in-law serves them with mashed potatoes. Last night we had meatballs, rice and corn on the cob, Joshua devoured his meal eating 1 1/2 meatballs a very small helping of rice and a scoop of corn. Cole says "mmmm, this is good", Cameron ate his corn and rice...sometimes I swear that kid must be a self made vegetarian!
