Sweet and Sour Meatballs

| Monday, June 1, 2009

Here's another yummy recipe that my family loves. I have been serving meals cooked in tomato sauce for over 2 years now. I always have packs of tomato sauce, tomato paste, and fresh tomatoes in my kitchen. They're a must in most of my meals, so I don't usually leave the grocery without them. Plus, tomatoes have lycopene which is good for health. Almost anything cooked with tomato sauce are good-tasting, too. If you think about your family's well-being, make it a habit to cook with tomato sauce and start the habit now!

Ingredients:
- 1/4 kilo ground chicken

Cooking procedure:
