‘Shot through the heart’ meatball skewers recipe
Nothing says “I’m single and I’m happy!” like a heart-shaped meatball on a stick. Well, not quite. But these delicious lamb meatballs are the perfect appetizer to a singles only party. Shaped like hearts and then slid on a skewer, these flavorful meatballs are filled with Italian flavors and fresh, pungent ingredients, like garlic cloves and sweet yellow onion.
Yields about 28 meatballs
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground lamb, defrosted
- 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 egg
- 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Liberal dashes of salt and pepper
Directions:
- Grease baking dishes with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Using your hands, mix meat, breadcrumbs, parsley, Italian seasoning, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper until fully combined. If meat is too sticky, add additional breadcrumbs. Cover with foil and chill for at least an hour.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Once meat has chilled, remove from fridge. Using your hands and a mini heart-shaped cookie cutter, make about 28 heart-shaped meatballs. Place in dishes and bake for at least 25 – 30 minutes, or until meat is fully cooked and browned. Serve on a skewer with a dab of ketchup!

Cupid’s blood cocktail
Everyone may think it’s cute that a fat, winged cherubshoots people into the heart cavities with arrows, but some people also find it a bit violent and off putting. If you are one of those people, drink a cocktail made of cupid’s blood. Well, not that graphic — it’s quite simple but looks deliciously gory and tastes absolutely refreshing. There’s a good chance that in real life, cupid’s blood is fizzy wine with a bit of food coloring.
Ingredients:
- 1 bottle sparkling rose wine
- 20 drops food coloring
Directions:
- Pour enough sparkling wine to fill Champagne flutes, about 3/4 full. Add at least five drops of food coloring to each glass to get a deep red color. Cheers and enjoy!
