Donate a Gift and Receive a $20 Gift Card Please help, this project is very near and dear to me. For the fourth year, we're continuing our Avalon tradition of giving Christmas to not two needy families with children but this year three families! The stories were just way to heart wrenching for me to only be able to pick two families.

Customers ask me about my baby meatballs and red sauce all the time. They ask if I cook my gravy/sauce all day? Do I fry the meatballs or oven roast them?...So here ya go, basic red sauce and baby meatballs. Happy Sunday! ~JBL Meatballs Ingredients:... 3 cups day-old bread, cut into 1-inch cubes 1 1/4 pounds ground meat mix (veal, beef & Pork) cup milk 3 eggs, beaten 3/4 cup pecorino, grated (I used parmesan cheese) 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil Cover bread crumbs with milk and soak for 20 minutes. Drain the bread cubes and squeeze out extra moisture. In a large bowl, combine the bread, beef, eggs, cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper and mix by hand just until mixed (do not over-work the meat!). With wet hands, form the mixture into 12 to 15 meatballs. I like to make a small patty and sauté it like a burger to taste and check for seasoning. Variation: sweet some diced onion an garlic and add to meat mixture. In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, place meatballs and cover a little over half with basic red sauce and cup low sodium chicken. Cook low heat on stove top for approx 45 minutes. Basic Red Sauce Ingredients: 3 TBS butter 1 medium onion, finely chopped 4 TBS, crushed garlic 2 cans crushed tomatoes Salt & Pepper, to Taste Fresh Basil Progression: Heat a large sauté pot over medium heat, add butter and onion and cook until slightly translucent. Add garlic cook until golden brown, about1 minute. Add crushed tomatoes and lower heat to a simmer. Cook for one hour at low heat stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and puree in blender to desired consistency.
