I don&#8217;t know that he has met a meatball that he won&#8217;t eat. Considering that cooking is one of the primary ways that I show my love, and I am off work for a bit, I decided to make some meatballs. Oh no, son, when mama has the time,  you don&#8217;t have to sit around wishing that we could go to Ikea so that you can have meatballs.<\/p>\n<p>Now on the other side of things, I love to try new recipes. So, I set out to find a meatball recipe that I haven&#8217;t made yet. I remember seeing one not too long ago in Bon Appetit so I ventured on down to Epicurious (as if I jauntily strolled down the street) to look. That&#8217;s when I found the recipe.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, when I can, I will procure three different types of ground meat to make meatballs for the Young Mister. I try not to wonder whether this is sick.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sherlonya.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSCN1848.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-971\" title=\"DSCN1848\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sherlonya.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSCN1848.jpg?resize=300%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sherlonya.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSCN1848.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sherlonya.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSCN1848.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sherlonya.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSCN1848.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sherlonya.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSCN1848.jpg?w=2250&amp;ssl=1 2250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epicurious.com\/recipes\/food\/views\/Meatball-Sliders-239792\" target=\"_blank\">these<\/a> were the best meatballs I ever tasted.
