greek-style meatballs

As most of you know, Michael and I just bought our first house back in March and have been working hard to fix it up and make it feel like home. One of our favorite things about owning a house now has been inviting people over for dinner or get togethers. We both love having people into our home, the conversations shared in these walls, and the laughter that fills the rooms.One thing that still gives me slight anxiety though is the dinner part. I will be the first to admit that I'm not the greatest cook. I so enjoy it, but I'm not awesome at it. Last night we had my brother & sister-in-law over for dinner and I made these Greek-style meatballs I'm sharing with ya'll today. They are so unique and yummy, and on top of that, super healthy and easy to make! It's become my go-to when we're having people over for dinner and I want to get a little fancier than chicken, but not spend a ton of time on the meal. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!Greek-style meatballs

1. In large bowl, mix 1 lb ground beef, 3/4 c. crumbled feta cheese (I used reduced fat!), 1/2 small red onion, grated, 1/3 c. Italian-style bread crumbs; 1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley, 1 lg egg, lightly beaten; 2 tsp dried oregano; and 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper
2. Form into 12 balls and thread onto skewers
3. On cookie sheet sprayed with olive oil cooking spray, roast meatballs at 425 degrees, 15 to 20 mins, or until cooked through.
4. Serve with lemon slices and 1/2 c. prepared tzatziki (I just bought mine premade from Trader Joe's!)

For the side dishes, I just did roasted red potatoes and a kale salad. But you could really do anything you want with it! Enjoy! xx
