Originally was going to make this, along with brown rice, for a neighbor couple, but then decided to give them a roasted chicken (We have all kinds of chicken dinners!) & keep this one for ourselves! AND, I wanted to freeze some of these little tasties for a later time! I'll definitely be making these meat balls again & again, 'cause they're different from what I usually make & have such a GREAT TASTE! Thanks for posting the recipe!
