It’s always fun to take a little time at the start of the year to reflect on the one previous. Part of that process for me is to take a look at all the posts from the last year to see what you really found useful.

Growing up my Mom always made some really yummy meatballs. They were served up at most family potlucks or gatherings and often disappeared faster than anything else. I know they were certainly one of my favorite things offered.

It will have your entire kitchen so fragrant with the smell of garlic and basil that you’ll want to eat it straight from the pan. Fortunately it takes less than 15 minutes start to finish to make, so it will be on your plate soon enough! Continue reading »
