Well Ali,
A couple of weeks ago I would have been thrilled, but today I have high cholesterol. So I will help when I can, I am a great cook. My lifestyle has been lowfat, but I married a German family. Full of calories, fat and sugar is thier way of cooking. Dratted genes. I did hear you giggle with Col. Hunt said his dirty word, I just love his no nonsense style!

Put me down for the eating club! I’ve been craving a good meatball for two days now!

As I suspected, Tyler Florence has been in search of the ultimate meatball on his food network program. Looks good but too complicated for a quick meal…

I guess you know I am hungry.

AN eating club for sure.

I’d cook meatballs with you anyday, Ali.

hey ally:

that sounds great–I’ll bring the pasta and the garlic bread. How many will be joining us?

Please send me the meatball recipe. I just love trying new things. Sorry I missed the interview. I leave for work before 7 a.m.

I just love FOX. I only watch FOX and HGTV.

Great rounded life wouldn’t you say.

Thanks.

I was listening to you show this A.M. and heard about the meat ball recipe. Please e-mail the recipe for meatballs I missed it.
I think your show is GREAT! Keep up the good work.

I missed the recipe where can I find it? Nothing like some awesome Meatballs in your Sauce!!

Can anyone really be part of a meatball cooking club without the eating part? Does your family “steal” meatballs as you are cooking them like mine does? Its an Italian tradition!
So lets do the cooking/eating meatball club! I’m ready!

Now we need an authentic Italian tomato sauce recipe. So what is the recipe for Camerota marinara?
Or in a house with 3 children under 3, does the recipe consist of opening a jar of Ragu sauce? LOL

SO WHAT ARE THE MEASURMENTS FOR THE MEATBALLS?

LINDA DANO HAD A RECIEPE FOR MEATBALLS THAT I COULDN’T GET.
MAYBE YOU COULD HAVE HER ON AND SHE COULD GIVE IT AGAIN.

THANKS

Hey A,

What about an Italian breakfast? Do any viewers have some Good Morning recipes from Gramma Sicily to match those tasty dinner feasts?

This yogurt and coffee just aren’t cuttin’ it and it’s a little early for ’sausage and peppers’……. yet curiously tempting.

Dr. Mike

You’re bookend-ed by two of Fox’s greatest Meatballs - Steve and Brian, add you and Gretchen for a hearty meal of comfort food for the soul, every morning.

please send me the recipe for meatball of frankie thanks alisyn.

I would be interested in a good meatball recipe, better yet a good meatloaf recipe would be even better!

I love a good meatball!

Please where do I find the recipe, I have been searching for a good italion meatball recipe with negative results, please post on your blog, however if you have the time a e mail would be appreciated with the actual ingrediends, I watch fox and friends most of the day the most informative and truthful news program on TV thank you, Barbra

Alisyn,

This recipe was a gift ! I can’t imagine the thrill of meeting Frankie Vallie in person. I’ve been to his recent concerts here in Connecticut and he sounds as great as he did in the 60’s. Remarkable!

Loads of people all believe that three different meats are needed for great meatballs. This might be true for great meatloaf but not necessarly for great meatballs. Frankie is correct in stating that the meat is not the primary flavor. I’ll bet that the soaking of good breadcrumbs in warm milk makes a difference too. Good quality grated cheese and a couple glasses of wine makes all the difference!

I’ll be testing this recipe over the weekend. Thanks for sharing this with all of us.

Best to you and the entire FOX crew,

I’m interested in the upcoming interview with Kate and Gerry McCann. If you want to get a whole bunch of comments, post a topic about that case and ask some controversial questions. The word will spread and you will definitely get some feedback!

Two topics almost guarantee that people will come out of the woodwork with a vast amount of differing opinions. Those topics are Madeleine McCann and Natalee Holloway.

Hi Alisyn,

A cooking club sounds good!

Ray

Hi, I love to cook and I wanted to know if this recipie is available. I would like to make the meatballs from Mr. valli’s family recipie. My sisters would get a hoot out of that.

Alisyn–you are the BEST!!! Puhleeze–how ’bout the recipe for the meatball ‘gravy’–AND double puhleeze–replace Gretchen for the rest of Friends show—UGH!!!!

Can you send meatball recipe or tell me where to find it Thanks

EVERYONE THAT IS LOOKING FOR THE MEATBALL RECIPE!!

Look in the blog entry that is titled “Frankie Valli shares his secret”. Not only does it have the recipe but other people have shared some of their variations too.

Or you can use this link to go directly to the blog entry.
http://greenroom.blogs.foxnews.com/2007/10/23/frankie-valli-shares-his-secret/

Alisyn is a sweetheart but I doubt she has time to email everyone with the recipe when it is right here on the blog.

aly…i read your paragraph about the meatball ingredients but what are the amounts to a pound of ground beef??
please post the receipe in detail…
thanks
i am a big fan of fox and friends and many, many of fox’s great news shows!!!

I am thankful for Turkey Meatballs!

Is there an actual recipe for Frankie Vallee’s meatballs, with the exact proportions? Please email to the above address, or post it on the blog and I will check later. I am a big fan of his from the 60’s, and an even bigger fan of Italian cuisine…

Re: Frankie Valli’s Meatballs… I have found that instead of using just gouund beef, use Beef Pork and Veal in equal proportions, ground twice gives the meatballs a much lighter texture and better flavor! I agree with the rest of his recipe! and yes, it is Gravy!

Classic Meatloaf

Ingredients:

1-1/2 pounds ground beef
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 cup soft bread crumbs
1 egg
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Topping

1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard

Preparation: Heat oven to 350°F. Measure 1/4 cup tomato sauce, combine with topping ingredients in small bowl.

Set aside.

Combine remaining tomato sauce with remaining meatloaf ingredients in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly.

Shape beef mixture into 8 x 4-1/2-inch loaf on rack in broiler pan. Spread topping over meatloaf.

Bake in 350°F oven 1 hour to medium (160°F) doneness, until not pink in center and juices show no pink color.

Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Cut into slices.

Cook’s Tip: To make soft bread crumbs, place torn bread in food processor or blender container. Cover, process, pulsing on and off, to form fine crumbs. One and one-half slices make about 1 cup crumbs. To save time, and for a different presentation, beef mixture may be divided evenly and shaped into three 1-1/2-inch thick loaves. Place on rack in broiler pan, spread topping evenly over loaves. Bake in 350°F oven 40 to 45 minutes to medium (160°F) doneness, until not pink in center and juices show no pink color.

Cooking Note: Due to the natural nitrate content of certain ingredients often used in meatloaf, such as onions, celery and bell peppers, meatloaf may remain pink even when a 160°F internal temperature has been reached. Always check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer or instant-read thermometer to be certain it reaches 160°F.

Recipe Variation: Four-Pepper Meatloaf Variation: Prepare meatloaf as above, adding 1/3 cup finely chopped green bell pepper, 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper and 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper to ground beef mixture.

If you want to start a cooking or eating club, count me in. I will share my Shrimp Potonesca recipe and others. Love to eat, cook, golf and watch Fox news.
Really enjoy all the Fox and Friends, but Alison, you add class, warmth and great insight.
Best to you,
Bob Lombardo

Please send me Frankie Valli’s meatball recipe.

I have the Fox News Channel on 24 hours a day and your News Channel can’t be beat! Keep up the good work and kudos to all you good folks that work there and give us the news “fair and balanced”

I’m a little behind here, but it looks like the requests for the meatball recipe are really snowballing! (sorry- couldn’t resist) Could you please add me to the list of those who must have the recipe- or is it posted somewhere?

Thanks so much!

To heck with the recipe. Just overnight me some meatballs!!!!!!!!!

Love it, love it. Also love the Fox News Channel and just wish my cable provider would hurry and place it on the HD menu. As for the meat balls, can’t wait to try and would love for Alisyn to start an on-line menu exchange. Maybe, FOX can bring us all to New York for a meeting on air!!!!
