Greek Meatballs On A Stick
I’ve been eating these meatballs for as long as I can remember. After all, it’s my mom’s recipe! As a kid, I used to sit at the kitchen table and watch her and my grandma (Yia Yia as we call her in Greek) mix up a big batch of these delicious little bites with their hands. The spices are so fragrant that just thinking about it brings me back.
