Yummy meatballs that my family loved. I served them with your recipe for marinara sauce with excellent results. We also like Mama Iuliucci's FAMOUS MEAT-A-BALLS (Italian Meatballs) recipe here at 'Zaar but this recipe seemed to top it. I am not sure why because the ingredients are nearly the same. Our best guess is the water. The water kept the meatballs nice and moist and it helped disburse the flavor throughout the entire meatball. Excellent recipe!

I am a proud single parent mom of a wonderful 15 year-old teen, an RN, daughter, gardener, and a doxie/weiner lover. I moved to Arkansas about five years ago and finally am getting more used to here. I'm a bit sassy and certainly a "Jersey Girl" at heart. Still haven't figured out why God brought me here to Arkansas, but I am sure in the future he'll open my eyes to why. When my son goes to college, I will probably adopt a bunch of children from different backgrounds. I love diversity and being different. Then I'll move to Jersey.... LOL
