About me: I collect cookbooks and love to cook and try new recipes. I tested recipes for Leite's Culinaria for almost eight years. I learned to cook from many good southern cooks including my Mom, Dad, several Aunts and my Grandmothers. My children and husband also like to cook and try new foods and recipes. My son still lives with us but our daughter is married. She often visits to cook with me. We are adventuresome eaters willing to try new things.

These were very good but really we thought too big at a 1/2 pound each. Next time I'd make 8 meatballs instead of 4. I liked that they are cooked in oven and also the nice surprise of a mini mozzarella ball in the center of each. We also enjoyed the addition of some ricotta on top of the finished meatball and sauce. Son would like a little Italian seasonings in them next time and he also enjoyed some Parmesan in addition to the Ricotta on the finished product. Him and son-in-law ate theirs over pasta and I had mine on mashed potatoes. In the magazine they just served them in a bowl as is.
