Easy Mexican Meatballs

"They make a nice switch from more traditional meatball recipes easier to make. Recipe calls for day-old corn bread or corn muffins. If you do not have stale corn bread or muffins, crumble fresh muffins or bread and toast at 250 degrees for 15 minutes to dry out the crumbs slightly. Serve alone with toothpicks and napkins or with tortillas and extra cheese!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a graduate student studying agricultural economics, originally from Georgia. (Go dawgs!) I try to eat very healthy, most often low-carb. But, I do love sweets sometimes. I like to bake for others so much- so I do it all the time and have become known for just stopping by with casseroles, brownies etc..
