Sicilian Rice Balls

I love food, I love to eat, I love to cook, I HATE to clean it all up! Thank you William Howard Livens for inventing the modern-day dishwasher. I am retired and currently doing what I have always wanted to do, I am a true blue Homemaker. My DH and I moved from our lifelong home in Hawaii to Arizona. We worked very hard, as most people do, so that we could indulge in life. We are having a blast!
