Very tasty meatballs and I really like the sauce. I added a bit of chopped sweet red pepper that I had in the fridge, nice bit of color. I didn't have lard so I used margerine and left the sauce a bit chunky. Served over three peppercorn noodles delicious Thanks V.A.

That cute little fella up top is not me, but my "son" Charlie. He loves being in the kitchen as much as I do! :) He is a huge fan of all things dairy. You can not open a bag or container of cheese, yogurt, sour cream...or well, really anything dairy without him promptly being under foot! He is also a firm believer in the 5 second rule, and I'm okay with that. ;)
I only like to review the recipes that we truly enjoyed! Sure, I've had my share of duds ... but just because I don't like it doesn't mean someone else might enjoy the heck out of it! So, I choose not to leave bad reviews that may sway someone else from trying a recipe. One of my peeves are the reviews that say something along the lines of... I changed this, I changed that, and your recipe was just awful! I may make changes to the recipe (usually not more than full fat to low fat / no fat ingredients - with an exception to sweets, then it's dump in the butter and pour in the sugar missy!), but I feel no need to point that out in my review. After all, it was your recipe that was at the base of any meal I make from it, and so the stars belong to you!
