We’ve had a brief spring “preview” here in Maryland, and I’m eager and excited for the weather to warm up more permanently.

Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Soup

Easy Italian Wedding Soup #MeatballMasters
I made this delicious and easy Italian Wedding Soup using Johnsonville® Meatballs as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. All opinions are my own. Spaghetti and meatballs is a family favorite.
