Pork Meatballs with Mustard Sauce for MLS Game Day with Trivento Wine

Thank you Trivento for sponsoring this post. Get in the game with Trivento Wine and Major League Soccer!

Turn on your favorite Major League Soccer game and whip up a batch of my Pork Meatballs with Mustard Sauce for a delicious game day appetizer which pairs perfectly with Trivento Wine.

Did I tell you where I spent Mother’s Day this year? On the soccer field, in the rain. I am certainly a true soccer mom.

My soccer-loving family spends a lot of time watching soccer, talking about soccer, practicing for soccer and learning about soccer. One of the best ways to learn the game is by watching MLS Soccer and we almost always have a soccer game on the TV. We have an affinity for local teams so we regularly cheer for the Philadelphia Union, naturally. This Summer we are planning on attending the International World Cup hosted in Philadelphia, PA. 

Pork Meatballs with Mustard Sauce

I have the perfect appetizer to nibble on while watching your favorite MLS team play. 

The Pork Meatballs with Mustard Sauce are easy to prepare and a nice twist from traditional game-time foods. The combination of moist and flavorful pork pairs nicely with the punchy flavor of the mustard sauce.
