Porcupines, delicious meatballs in gravy. They knew what they were doing! Family Reunion Recipe 

I went to a friend's picnic back in 1973. They made Porcupine meatball. I just remembered about them the other day and wanted to make some. I was just filping through RU-vid and saw you making them. It was the first time i seen your video.

My mom used to make porcupine meatballs when I was a little girl! My goodness that recipe sure does bring back memories!

Thank you Miss Karen California is watching ❤

Hi Karen, I just love the idea of how you cooked this in 1 dish 👍🏼👍🏼 You both are such a sweet couple 💞 I find recipes are so valuable and will be passed down with so much meaning. Thank you for alowing all of us to enjoy you having time to cook your yummy food.

What a wonderful cookbook! It is surely a precious family heirloom. . . and it keeps all the memories alive with every meal made. When I was a child, I thought porcupines were so elegant. Probably because we had them so rarely.

I was just remembering when I was a teenager, my cousin making these in a brown gravy. Hers were round. It brought back good memories. I'm putting these on next weeks meal plan. Thank you

Youare sooooooosweet, love you!

Thank you so much they look delicious and looking forward to make them

I like the sandwich idea with left overs!!

Hey Miss Karen...Ive heard of these but have never made them they looked easy to make .....love how Miss Patchy gets excited when her daddy comes home...yall have a good day!

Your outfit is adorable today!

🥰Thank you👍Nice recipe . A delicious meal . ❤👍

This is similar to a meal that my family made when I was growing up. I used to make it and then forgot about it. Thank you for reminding me of it.

Hey Ms.Karen, Love this recipe, Looks so delicious. Thank you for sharing. Hope you all are well. GOD Bless You and your Family STAY SAFE AND WELL ❤️❤️🩵🩵💛💛

Hi Karen, Porcupines was one of the first recipes I made when I was about 14. I found it in the women's companion cookbook that my grandmother gave to my Mom. Fast forward 50 years, and I haven't made them in a while, but your recipe has me wanting to make them. Thank you for the memory boost, and thank you for sharing your recipes. 🙂♥️

I sure have missed you and Pops, I’ve been under the weather a bit. But glad I tuned in today to see this fabulous recipe! Can’t wait to try it since I’m feeling better. Thank you so much for sharing your family and your scrumptious recipes. 🩷💚fromGeorgia !😎

smells & looks GREAT lol! Y'all are so sweet! I'm gonna check into getting your cookbook. Thanks! Love,... Kim!; from *SOUTH EAST' MISSISSIPPI! : )

Porcupine meatballs are still a favorite meal for my family. We cook them on the stovetop and simmer the balls in tomato soup and water. There is usually some loose rice that thickens the tomato soup and it goes great with mashed potatoes and peas. We had porcupines for dinner just a few weeks ago but now I'm hungry for them again!

Ooh this looks delicious! Thank you Karen. I can’t wait to try it

Looks delicious as usual, that cookbook is a special treasure! I just received my cookbook from you and I absolutely love it! We also tried the green tomato recipe from one of your videos and we thought it was awesome! Thanks so much for sharing, you guys are a precious couple! God Bless you and your family!

👋♥️🙏♥️👋I believe we called these meatballs “Swedish Meatballs”. They are delicious. I also like them in a mushroom gravy. Yummm. Thanks Karen. Have a great weekend. ♥️👋🙏👋♥️Jennifer

i have not seen a large bottle of “dry gravy mix” as you showed making the gravy in any of our stores here in New Jersey.

Hi Karen. I miss you guys when I can't watch for a while. From Az where it's too hot already.😇🚲 I'm

Love your bowl

My mother made porcupines quiet often. The recipe is delicious made the original way with the tomato base sauce. I’m sure your way is good as well.

This is one of the first dishes I learned to made in High School cooking class, we loved it! I also wanted to say you look really cute, love your outfit 💙

I love porcupine meatballs but my husband’s not a meatball fan but I bet he’d eat porcupine discs. Thanks for sharing this family favorite recipe with us, I’ll for sure be trying these. My husband and our youngest daughter likes to put a spoon full of corn in the well of mashed potatoes then gravy over it all.

Good morning Karen this looks so good I will be trying this hope you and Pop Jones have a blessed weekend take care

Thank you for this tasty reminder!

Winner as usual. Can't wait for volume 2 of your cookbook.

That’s funny .. I do the same with my mashed potatoes and peas! Karen I got the three piece paring knives from Rada and I love them!

Karen and Pop, I am going to try these in a week or so and let you know. Take they look delicious and I cannot wait. Thank you for everything you do.

❤ do not worry about the noise your utensils make❤❤❤

so good🌷

Love your channel! ❤

This sounds delicious i mma gonna try this

Looks and sounds delish Karen ! And hello Pop nice to see u2 together having test taste😊

I'm definitely going to make this dish. It looks delicious

Just as your balsamic vinegar enhances the gravy ,so does a few drops of soy sauce,a lil tomato product ,too

Looks delish, as always. I'll be making that!

I just ordered the cookbook the other day. Excited waiting for it.

Karen, Do you think you could demonstrate how you make a baked half of ham?

They look delicious. I'm going to have to try making these. 😊

I do enjoy your videos so much. Never heard of porcupines, but I'd like to give them a try. I wonder if I could trouble you to share where you found the gloves you wore in this video? Thanks again for sharing your kitchen with us.

Wow delicious looking dish ❤

I love porcupine balls!!

Karen - I remember this recipe for Porcupines from my childhood - my mama made it the same as you with the brown gravy and mashed 'taters - and peas & carrots were a favorite as well. Thanks for the memory lane walk. I love the expression on Patchie's face at the end of your videos.

😋 yummy !

we had only two (husband's side) family reunions, 1988 and 2000, no cookbook LOL my side--no reunions OR cookbook LOL married since 1974.

That looks great. I even think I can smell it lol

I love porcupine meatballs; my Grandma made them

Hey Karen , what is the name of the dry beef mixture for gravy you use? Thanks Karen I will be making this one! Yummy

I sitting watching you and eating some oatmeal with maple flavoring, raisins and walnuts. I know better than to watch you without eating 😂. Sounds delicious. Love and big hugs. ❤❤

Why can't you have tomato and brown gravy? We do. Delicious

i was born may 19th 1975
