Yum, just made my Meatballs yesterday once again. Using the veggies I had in the refrigerator for the day, I included my favorite spices and the aroma of homecooking filled my home. Note: use only the veggies and spices you enjoy in this recipe. Be creative :) A few of my favorite things to always include are: paprika,cumin and turmeric. Oh the hearty, earthy flavor!!! Mmmmm.
