Catering With RCTCU And Italian Meatballs With Mushroom Sauce

Hello to all you foodies out there in web land I hope all is well.  Hope you are eating some wonderful food that you enjoy and that is worth all the calories that you intake.  I say if it doesn't taste good just don't wast the calorie counts.  Me I've been busy with our garden and also I had a catering job in April.  It was for the RCTCU members.  This is my fourth year catering for them.  Its always a pleasure cooking for them because they seem to like the foods I choose every year.  Great to have Food Fans!  That is what keeps me going in this business is customers that enjoy my foods.  I also feel very humbled to serve them.  To them I say thanks you.  Also one of them wrote me to ask for the recipe of the Italian Meatballs and am more then happy to share it.  I also served these at our daughters wedding reception about 17 years ago.  So any who, if anyone is living in the CSRA or Atlanta area I'd love to come and cater or private cheffing for you.  Contact me at madjon51@aol.com and also go to http://www.aikenstandard.com/ ASTV 95 and view some recipes that you may try of mine.  Recipe follows:
