Mom's Swedish Meatballs

In my house growing up one got to choose their birthday dinner meal. This one was always my first choice. Mom makes the best swedish meatballs - they are different from the standard heavy, thick gravy appetizer and instead are light and fluffy with a hint of sweet and spice. When I grew up mom gave me the recipe. My husband just told me the other day that I've finally perfected it and mine taste just like mom's. (I'll never tell her that, though - her's will always be "the best"!)
