Sneaky Meatballs
February 21, 2016
Here is a way to get an extra serving of vegetables into your kids with zero complaints.
I grew up with an Italian mother, so I will tell you these do not taste like the meatballs I ate as a child. My mom never baked meatballs or made them with turkey meat and while hers were delicious I think these are healthier.
These meatballs are light and super simple to make. Some nights we are running around to sports and I make my kids meatball subs, but tonight was a quiet night in so I used the meatballs as a topping on a sweet potato pizza crust. If you want to try the sweet potato pizza crust you can go here.
