Who doesn't love meatballs?
When all else fails, serve meatballs. That's my go-to advice to serve hungry people of all ages! Meatballs are easy to make and freeze, so they're a great option if you love to meal prep, and perfect as a last-minute dinner or appetizer option. You can serve meatballs in countless ways, and kids just love them!
There are so many different versions of meatballs: you can make them with beef, lamb, pork, turkey, or chicken. You can even make them vegan—don't miss my delicious falafel recipe below! In other words, it's impossible to get bored with meatballs. (Do you get how much I LOVE them?)
Caramelized Lemon Meatballs
Lemon meatballs? But of course! You all know my love for making authentic Italian dishes: this zesty Caramelized Lemon Meatball Dish is adapted from a Tuscan family recipe that was shared with me by an Italian chef I took cooking classes with in Lucca, Italy.
You can serve them as an appetizer but I love cooking them with a side of broccoli rabe. It's a very easy dish to make and one that you can easily scale it up for a larger group or for meal prepping.

Having said that, my absolute favorite way to serve these juicy morsels is in a big bowl of steaming soup!
You can serve these aromatic meatballs as is but if you want to make a soup like the one pictured above, I've included my tips and instructions along with the meatball recipe. It's a really simple soup to make, and you can customize it to use whatever ingredients you have on hand.
| | No-Roll Turkey Meatballs are super easy to make (no rolling involved!) and freezer-friendly but, best of all, they include a generous helping of spinach in each bite. The touch of sweetness added by a handful of raisins makes them ultra-popular with kids.
These meatballs can be made with either ground turkey or chicken. Serve with fresh tomato sauce over your family's favorite pasta!
| | | Lamb Meatballs with Mint Chutney | | | Lamb and mint are a natural pair and these Lamb Meatballs make the most of that delightful flavor match. Seasoned with cardamom, cumin, fresh coriander, and garlic, these aromatic meatballs are a delicious appetizer just begging to be dipped into that vibrant green mint chutney!
| | | Oven-Baked Pistachio Falafels | | | | Meatballs don't have to be made with meat! If you're looking for a vegan take on the meatball, you need to try these good-for-you Pistachio Falafels. They're colorful, packed with nutritious ingredients, baked (not fried!), and they, too, can be made in advance and stashed in the freezer, ready to turn into a healthy lunch within minutes. | | Bake Yourself the Perfect Spring Treat:
French Macarons! | | | Macarons are the perfect spring treat: they're a blank canvas for fresh flavor combinations and can be made in an array of pretty pastel colors. They'd make a lovely addition to an Easter dessert platter or a Mother's Day basket of goodies!
This year, why not make your own? With the right training, you'll succeed! My Skillshare video class, How To Make French Macarons, walks you through every step of the process so you can feel confident making this classic French treat.
