There is something so comforting about a meal made by a loved one. When I lived with my Aunt Susan growing up, Sunday Supper consisted of a beef and noodle dish that I often find myself craving on tough days. Jan D’Atri has many memories in the kitchen with her mother and one treasured recipe is her Momma’s Meatballs.
