Za-Zoom Meatballs

I hope that everyone had a wonderful July 4th weekend! We celebrated today by going out to breakfast and then by watching our towns Independence Day Parade. It was a good day. The hubs and I were too tired to go out and watch the fireworks . . . but we heard them. We will have to do that on the 24th for sure.
My hubby and I were out of town last week . . . so I have been trying to cook "real food" the past few days and hence this little jem of a recipe. He was on a golf getaway with his amazing Dad and I was chewing dust and squealing over bugs in the mountains with the girls in our ward . . . it was wonderful and a day! Za-Zoom Meatballs
