There is always so much going on. I used to say as soon as we get through “this”, everything will settle down. Well, as soon as we do get through “this” the next “this” pops up. You know what I mean? I think it’s universal.

Even though we are so busy, it makes it all that more important to get together with friends or to sit down together with each other at the end of the day. That is why I love baking up a big batch of chicken meatballs.

The best way to know when your meatballs are done is to test them with an Instant Read Thermometer. I personally use this thermometer for everything that I cook by temperature even my bread! Chicken meatballs are done when they reach a temperature of 165° F.

When I make meatballs or cookies or anything that I want to be a similar size, I use scoops. They not only look better but they cook evenly too. You can make a larger scoop when serving these meatballs over pasta or a smaller one when serving them as appetizers.
