Oven Baked Lamb Meatballs

March 7, 2013 By Vanessa Rae Romero

Oven Baked Lamb Meatballs

My husband has been rather demanding lately. You see, he thinks, I need to post more main dish and fewer muffin recipes.

I tend to agree, as we've enjoyed some very tasty meals over the last four months, or so, that have not made their way to my recipe index.

I say four months, because, that is when winter arrived here in Minnesota.

What does winter have to do with me sharing main dish recipes?

It's all in the light.

As a novice food photographer, I've learned one thing in the past two years of blogging, natural light is king for taking mouth-watering, eat-with-your-eyes, food photos.

During the winter months, there is no natural light to be found in our house, after 4 pm.

Check out this side-by-side.

Lamb burger on left, the picture was taken last August on our front porch at 6 pm. Lamb meatballs on the right, the picture was taken last night in our kitchen at 6 pm, as it was pitch black outside.

Natural light versus artificial light, see the difference? Perhaps next winter I'll invest in some fancy lighting equipment.

Natural vs Artificial Light

From November to March, prime light is hit or miss with many days dreary at best, but on a good day, the best light is found between 10-11 am, hence muffins and not main dishes.

However, that's about to turn around!

Spring is right around the corner, starting with springing our clocks ahead this weekend for daylight savings. While I don't particularly care for the loss of sleep I am excited for longer days and more light.

Okay, with all that being said, may I present to you an easy healthy recipe for Oven Baked Lamb Meatballs.

Don't judge them by their appearance, as they were delicious alongside a simple salad of mixed salad greens with a few sun-dried tomatoes and topped with Western dressing.

Tonight I had a conversation with my dad about his experiences with racism. He told me a story about being afraid to hold my mom’s hand in public when they were newly married in 1969. When she died in December 2015, he was still holding her hand. 💜

HAPPY SUNDAY...I don’t know about you, but I’ve been feeling increasingly unsettled. When I ask God, what can I do to make a difference, what I’ve heard over and over, is to just keep showing up. So that’s what I do. You might not think you matter, but I promise you do!!! 💜
