Is it just me or do you agree that Meatballs are a Fabulously FUN Food?
I think if I were going to have a Food Truck (and you know we’ve all secretly wanted to own a food truck), I’d make it all about the meatballs ~ Mobile Meatballs (ooo or maybe Meatball Madness).
The possibilities are endless.

I adore the flavors in these Greek Chicken Meatballs.
Lemon and feta and fresh spinach and herbs all playing so nicely together.
Ground chicken is such a wonderful canvas for painting big bold flavors and that’s exactly what we’ve done on this Greek Meze platter.

I think we knocked it out of the park with these French Toast Breakfast Meatballs.
Since breakfast is my favorite meal of the day it was only fitting that before March Meatball Madness came to a conclusion that we come up with a Breakfast Meatball.
I stumbled on this idea quite by accident.

With these Eggplant Meatballs you’ll never even miss the meat.
Through all of this March Meatball Madness I have received several requests through social media (some subtle, some not) to share more vegetarian options.
This veggie-loving lady is happy to oblige!

The Negroni Cocktail is classically made with equal parts Gin, Italian Sweet Vermouth and Compari (or similar Italian bitter like Cappelletti).
A Negroni is stirred over ice (not shaken). And served with a twist or slice of orange.
It’s well known for its lovely color and perhaps less known for it’s colorful history.

These smoky Kalua Pork Meatball Sliders are a play on the classic Hawaiian luau favorite ~ Kalua Pork.
The meatball alone is slightly salty, a little smoky, very juicy and oh so delicious.
Not going to lie, several meatballs never found their way to the Hawaiian sweet rolls, they were that good.

Every plate lunch in Hawaii includes a scoop of Hawaiian Style Macaroni Salad. It’s very basic, but that’s what makes it so good.
In Hawaii the plate lunch is their most popular dish. Yes, the poke bowl is a close competitor, but every road side stand, food truck, and hole-in-the-wall restaurant offers a plate lunch.
Classically your ‘plate’ will include a protein, then they add two scoops of white rice and a generous serving of this macaroni salad.
It’s a carb lovers dream!

Italian Wedding Soup is one dish I could not give up.
It has to be the flavor packed tiny meatballs.
No…no, actually it’s the fresh spinach leaves and miniature pasta all bathing in wonderful homemade chicken broth. Oh wait, I’m certain it’s the final swirl of egg and salty Parmesan cheese that makes this soup near the top of my comfort food list.

Our mozzarella stuffed Chicken Parmesan Meatballs nestled into a big pan of bucatini is meant to deliver comfort.
It’s the kind of dish you deliver to a friend when they need a little reassurance that everything is going to be O.K.

When National Philly Cheesesteak Day and March Meatball Madness collide, it’s kind of a no brainer – we’re making Philly Cheesesteak Meatballs!
Savory beef meatballs stuffed with provolone cheese, nestled on a bed of sautéed onions, mushrooms and peppers all under a blanket of provolone cheese sauce.
I mean!
