buddahj Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I'm going to a dinner party in a couple of weeks with an Italian food theme. Just wanted to know if anyone had a killer meatball recipe. Thanks in advance for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheikYerbuti Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Did you call dibs on meatballs? If not, you may be one of many bringing them. Why not try something more unique? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I volunteered to bring them. I wouldn't mind doing something different. What did you have in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddahj Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 what do you want? is there a theme to the evening? I'm not really sure. I just figured meatballs would be something everyone would like. Any ideas??? I could go the dessert route...I don't think anyone is doing that. The only rule is that whatever I bring has to be Italian.

buddahj Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 tiramisu That's what I was thinking if I went with dessert. I've made it a few times & it always turns out good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
