Meatballs used to be one of those foods that I was too intimidated to make. They seemed better suited to Italian grandmas who stooped over big pots in the kitchen all day. Until I listened to a radio program I get absolutely giddy about\u00a0(The Splendid Table<\/a> on NPR)<\/em>. It was a while ago, but one thing I took away was that you can add anything to meatballs and as long as you pack in a lot of flavor and keep the balls small, it only takes about 25 minutes to bake them. I threw some yummy stuff together, and they turned out great! I have been making these for a couple of years now, and they never fail to please all of the boys (a difficult task these days)!<\/p>\n

And speaking of, Oliver has become so incredibly picky at the table, I have all but thrown my hands up in defeat. In a perfect world, he would try everything on his plate and be conscious of his vegetable consumption. But after what seems like months of his veggie-strike, I have resorted to hiding veggies in his most beloved food. Meatballs included. Here is my sneaky recipe:<\/p>\n
