Grandma's Homemade Meatballs

This weekend, I attended a book festival, which is always a delight for me as I get to catch up with old friends and discover new authors. At this festival, I had the pleasure of meeting a new author named Deanna Turner, who wrote the book Where Grandma Keeps the Good Stuff.

While many participants at festivals typically distribute stickers, postcards, or candy, Deanna took a unique approach by handing out recipe cards featuring her grandmother's recipe for Meatballs. Intrigued by this thoughtful gesture, I asked for the recipe, and with her kind permission, I'm excited to share it with all of you.
