Bocconcini Stuffed Turkey Meatballs
Sunday Supper's are my favourite, both to cook and eat. The saying "Sunday Supper" just brings me all kinds of happiness. I prepare this supper with all heat and soul. Usually my husband Steve and I choose Sunday as our pig out day, I make an indulgent meal, a meal that leaves you satisfied and FULL. We sit down together, usually with candles and fresh baked bread, and eat. We talk, we laugh and we drink red wine. We end our favourite day together with full bellies. May this recipe bring you inspiration to do the same, indulge with loved one on the best day of the week, Sunday!
