No joke. My family eats this twice a month. It is the most highly requested meal in our home.
After giving birth to my second child, my dear friend, Cassy Bird, brought me her
Italian grandma in-law’s
most cherished recipe.
How sweet is that?!
I love that this recipe has been passed down for generations.
It is delicious! & so easy to make!
I always thought making homemade meatballs and spaghetti sauce would be too complicated, but this recipe proves it is not.
I don’t think we will ever buy store bought meatballs again!

My friend made this recipe a few weeks before she gave birth to prepare for post-delivery. Which is such a great idea!
