If you would like the full recipe, hop over to our Patreon page, and join our community there!Whenever my Mother made her meatballs for a family event, they were the hit of the meal. She often doubled or tripled her recipe in order to have enough for everyone. The act of making these always makes me feel like my Mom is right there with me in the kitchen. I love you, Mom & I miss you like crazy. - ChristineIn our Noteworthy segment, we tell you about an L.A. high school student that is suing the school district , and the USDA for violating her right to free speech.
