Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
My recipe became affectionately known as sauce n balls, from my wonderful neighbors on Weathersfield Drive! They always knew when I was cooking it and would stop by for a taste. Side note here...Alex would invite his friends over for a bread dunk!

Ps.... I rarely use measurements. Mom taught me to sprinkle till it looks right!
