Mom’s Meatball Recipe

This is my mom’s meatball recipe (infamous in my family), with a twist! Check it out below with some cool variations on it (coming soon, stay tuned!) to spice up your weeknight dinner or party!

Recipe Notes:

  • When making meatballs, we typically add about half the amount of ground pork to the amount of hamburger, so 1 lb. of hamburger = 1/2 lb. of ground pork. This recipe can be cut in half if you’d like, however, we always love leftovers so this is the bigger version of our original recipe!
  • We suggested using soy milk in this recipe (not traditional, as my mom’s original version called for cow’s milk). However, through testing, we found that soy was the best replacement when it came to fat, protein content, and taste, so this is what we went with! Our brand of choice (not a sponsor) is West Life Organic Soy Milk, Unsweetened Plain (you can find it through the link on Amazon). If you have a soy allergy though, please feel free to use either almond or oat milk; we tested both of those and they worked just as well.

Gluten-Free Buttermilk Biscuits

Our recipe for a homemade, gluten-free version of the buttermilk biscuits your southern grandmamma would make! One of the things my mom missed when becoming gluten-free were things she could eat at breakfast bread-wise, so being able to recipe test and find a great gluten-free biscuit alternative to the normal recipe we use was exciting.

Greek Lamb Tacos

This was a fun take on tacos we made one night, fusion style! We used some ground lamb we had in our fridge and made a tzatziki sauce with cucumbers for the added crunch factor. Definitely a winner for a quick easy way to mix up #tacotuesday!

Chicken Stock Recipe

I try to not waste any part of the chicken when I have a rotisserie or whole chicken on hand, so I always keep whatever leftover meat and bones on hand to make chicken stock! This recipe is perfect to freeze, as a base for soups, stews, and you can season this to your liking.

Stained Glass Shortbread Cookies

This recipe for Stained Glass Shortbread Cookies started out of the cookbook my mom first got for me, which I added pink candies to for the Valentines Day holiday! I would definitely experiment with different candies in this recipe, as I used peach gummy candies in mine the first time, and the shortbread was so soft that it crumbles as you bite into it and you’re left with this chewy candy afterward. Make sure you make these bite-sized to accommodate for that!
