"Meatballs-Made-by-Her"

Here are the ingredients. You know what meatballs look like.
        When asked what she’d like to eat when visiting us, my six-year old granddaughter requested, “Meatballs-Made-by-Her.” I’m the “Her”, and you know about meatballs.The comforting thing about them is
that they are easy to make.

In a food processor add the following:
2 pieces of bread (great use of the heal or those pathetic slices left in the bag)
1 medium onion
1 egg
¼ cup milk
1 Teaspoon salt
1 ¼ pound of 90% lean hamburger

Form into balls. Now here are your choices.

* Microwave  and serve with sauce
* Put in baggies and freeze in meals sizes. I usually microwave them just a little so they keep their shape.
* Fry them. Gives a different flavor, but remember, now you have another pan to wash.

    About Comfort Food

        Whenever I long for silence, solitude and simplicity, I’m always hoping to find comfort food waiting for me.  My comfort food rules are simple.

    Comfort Food must be
    1) Easy to prepare
    2) Taste yummy in my tummy
    Comfort Food does not need to be
    1) Nutritious (although it often is)
    2) Prepared from scratch
    Comfort Food can be
    1) Fruit and vegetables
    2) Fried in bacon fat (my personal favorite)
    3) Chocolate
    4) Low in cholesterol
    5) High in cholesterol
    6) Add your personal favorite:­­­_____________
