Keftaides Me Saltsa Meatballs In Sauce

---

I came across this recipe in the most serendipitous manner...on my way to work going 50mph i saw some trash blowing across the road...it got stuck to my car and i could hear it fluttering all the way to work. When i got out of my car i found a piece of newspaper stuck to my front grill. I took it off and what was it? a torn out page from a week old newspaper that has 4 yummy sounding recipes! Wow. I feel obligated to post them now.
