Okay, this may not fall under "health food," but a lot of generations of Scandinavian kids have been raised on it and it's wonderful!  I made a real Swedish dinner for us last night:  meatballs, creamed potatoes, peas, and steamed cabbage.  Sounds of rejoicing were heard from the dining table...so I thought I'd share my meatball recipe with you.  It's my Mom's, which makes it really special!

Swedish Meatballs

Mix well:

     1 1/2 lbs. ground beef; 1 onion, grated; 3/4 c. bread crumbs or saltine cracker crumbs; 2 eggs; 3/4 tsp. allspice; 1/4 tsp. sage; 1 tsp. salt; pepper to taste; some milk to soften and moisten.

     Shape into balls and either brown in a skillet or bake on a cookie sheet in a 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until brown.  Remove to a shallow casserole dish.  Cover with 1 can beef broth, diluted with 1 can of water.

     Bake in a slow oven (325 degrees) for 1 1/2 hours.

YUM!
