Kendra's Swedish Meatballs
I wrote up this recipe for my daughter kendra. She loves my swedish meatballs. I usually read several recipes and pick out the parts i like. She called and wanted my recipe. I was in a hurry and gave her one straight from one of my cookbooks. It was a flop. So i decided to write down exactly what i do for her. It works.
