italian meatballs

Last night we had a banquet for our Mary Kay unit to celebrate our successes and it was a yummy Italian feast!  I love potluck occasions because they help me branch out in my cooking.  So of course I decided to volunteer to bring something I had never made before, and then waited until the last minute to find a recipe and cook up a storm.

My lifesaver?... yes, you know what I'm about to say... Pinterest.

Ah, the modern day woman's go-to problem solver.  Planning a wedding? Pinterest.  Hosting a party? Pinterest.  Making a Halloween costume?  Pinterest.  Cooking a new dish?  Pinterest.

I found an amazing Italian Meatball recipe, hit up my Walmart and spent about an hour in the kitchen. {Am I the only one that always takes longer to cook something than it says it should?}  The meatballs turned out delicious and it is definitely something I'll be adding to the routine.

This recipe was a combination of about half things I already had and half I had to go buy at the store.  Overall, it was a perfect dish for a potluck and even though I was a little iffy on the portion, we ended up with leftovers.  I've linked the recipe below!

The only thing I altered from the original recipe was buying buttermilk instead of using the tip to make your own.  But, I did think the tip was very clever and will use that in the future!
