Happy International Meat Ball Day! In celebration and as a proud IKEA Brand Ambassador I wanted to replicate their signature dish and encourage you to make it at home.

I just wanted to let you know that IKEA never gave me their signature recipe, but this is my own version of replicating it and man was it a winner at home.
