These reminded me of the meatballs I had when I was growing up, so I was happy to find this recipe. I really enjoyed them, they have a good flavor to them and are easy to make. Mine turned out a little to wet to make into good "ball forms" but I think that was to do with my meat and not the recipe. But b/c of this I increased the amount of rice I used. I also added chopped onion to the mix and more Worcestershire sauce than the recipe called for (personal taste).

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
