Ok I am going to preface this by saying I am not a cook. Most of the time when I try to make things I get easily distracted and throw in other ingredients or I find I don’t have something so I sub something else in. Luckily for me most of the time things turn out ok.
When I cook I like to cook in volume for a few reasons. When my husband-type is home I HAVE to cook in volume because he can eat more food in one sitting than most entire families…not sure how he can’t gain weight doing this!?! He works overseas so I am cooking for 1 a lot of the time. I still continue to cook in volume because during the week I don’t have time every night when I get home to cook so I am the leftover queen!
This recipe is for meatballs. I love meatballs…they are awesome leftovers. You can dip them in sauces, eat them plain, throw them in a salad, put them in cauliflower rice…etc. There are so many uses for meatballs! I love asian food, one of the things I have had the hardest time adjusting to with eating paleo/primal is that I don’t get Chinese food like I used to. So many of my recipes tend to have an asian flair to them.
