This dish
was a definite hit with Nazli, so a definite keeper in my world! Dave out at a family function so tonight I picked girls up from their Yai Yai.
Although I knew the plan was they were coming for dinner. But I had to wonder, every Grandma would feed them something to eat, no? But I did not want to assume, so I made spaghetti & meatballs as she told this was her favourite dish.
Although the girls not hungry, when I advised what I made for dinner Nazli stated "I will eat some Auntie Sue" and my heart melted. And happy to report that my pickiest critic loved it! Which made my heart sing J
