3.5.3228 I am a HUGE advocate for veggies as much as you can as often as you can. They are loaded with fiber, water, electrolytes, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients to name a few benefits. So I get creative adding them to meals beyond just eating a bowl of salad or plate of sauteed veggies (eventhough I love both of those, I have pickier eaters at home!). This recipe was born this week out of needing to add more veggies other than carrots to my daughters dinner. Hope you and your family enjoy these flavorful great textured meatballs too!
