Sigh! Already end of August… Seriously, summer is just way too short of a season for my taste! 

However, I am not ready to give up my BBQ so easily….There are still many warm days to be enjoyed !

As I already told you, I have a thing for meatballs. I think they are such great finger food on their own, plus they are adorable and perfect little portions that can fulfill every appetite in your family, big or small. These lamb meatballs are also stuffed with a bit of feta and fresh mint, which make them even more flavourful.

Served as gyros pitas with some lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and Tzatziki sauce, they make for a fantastic family meal.
