The Best Meatballs You’ll Ever Have Recipe

Aslam-o-Alakaum My Lovelies !!

 In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Good Afternoon

It is the middle of March and spring is here and in full bloom, budding flowers, chirping birds, and plenty of new activities to do.
With spring here in full bloom, I try to get out for daily walks, which is a joy. With the earth greening, trees budding, flowers blossoming and songbirds chirping, hope and renewal fill every living thing. (inshaAllah)

The days are getting much warmer now and my family always looks forward for light and comforting food. Dinner is the only time when everybody gets to gather around and have meal as a family. So I always plan to cook something simple and most importantly light and healthy.

The Best Meatballs You’ll Ever Have

Last week, I made the world’s most amazing Meatballs in a tomato sauce with garlic bread on the side – where’s my invitation to go on Masterchef??  💁🏻 lol 😛

 I like to cook meatballs in sauce! These Italian flavored  meatballs in tomato sauce are my new favorite! 😀 ☺

These meatballs are light, tender, and bursting with juicy flavor.You can just mix all the ingredients together, roll them and cook them and the best part of all, you can have these on your dinner table in less than 45 minutes.

They would be great over pasta, mixed with tomato sauce as an appetizer or on their own, But I served these meatballs over some veggie noodles tossed in olive oil along with garlic bread. A recipe must try! The Best Meatballs You’ll Ever Have!
