Sweet and Sour Meatballs
"This is an exceptional dish that is a little time consuming, but worth the effort. If you're an experienced cook, you can fry the meatballs in 2 skillets to save time, but for newer cooks it might be a little hard to watch both of the skillets at the same time."

I created a cookbook program in Access as a wedding gift for my nephew. I found an artist to hand paint a recipe box for my nephew and I printed out 170 recipes on photo cards and created indexes for the recipe categories. I had so much fun creating the database and they really loved it. I became a little obsessed in looking for and trying new recipes.
