These recipes are inspired by the Kitchen of my sister Joyce. Her house always smells delicious and you also get nutritious when you enter her home! These are a base for wonderful Chicken/Ricotta Meatballs. Use these in a light chicken broth for soup, We use a slightly adapted recipe for appetizers.
