W4DW-Pork Meatball Appetizers

Continuing with The Pork Month Theme is recipe shared from a pig farmer friend in Minnesota.  I have several friends that raise pigs in Southern Minnesota and I can't wait to go visit them all again.  Wanda is my newest friend in Minnesota.  She is also new to blogging, so please go visit her page after you view this yummy recipe that my oldest son really enjoyed when I made it.

Hi, My name is Wanda Patsche and I am an agvocate living in southern Minnesota! My husband and I crop farm corn and soybeans and we also have a hog farm. Hogs are big in my county. We are the top county in Minnesota for raising hogs. I have three grown daughters, two of which are married and one who is a senior in college. Even though having three daughters is great, having  three grandchildren and one more on the way is even better! 

Agriculture is my passion! Being an agnerd and a computernerd has led me down the path of agricultural social media. October is Pork month and being pork farmers we eat a lot of pork. The pork meatball appetizer recipe is one I have brought to a number of holiday gatherings.  Everyone loves them!  You can find me on facebook at www.facebook.com/minnesotafarmer or checkout my blog at www.minnesotafarmer.net.  Consequently, my blog this week is on food choices! Be sure to check it out!
