What happens when you combine...
- Nom Nom Paleo's Asian meatballs (made more multi-cultural by replacing the cilantro with parsley and omitting the fish sauce);
- A homemade or otherwise sugar-free marinara (this is the recipe I use);
- Zucchini noodles made with this nifty tool?
One yummy, tasty, Whole30 dinner!
For the side dish: - Roasted cauliflower - skip the Parm but sprinkled with garlic salt and Italian seasoning mix. Make sure the seasoning mix is sugar free, corn free, etc. Better yet, make your own. You can find plenty of recipes, but in a pinch, just throw together some dried basil and oregano in generous portions, some garlic powder, and then a little rosemary, thyme, and/or marjoram, if you've got 'em.
How to make this an easy, throw-together weeknight meal: Make up a whole batch (or two) of Michelle's meatballs on your day off, and keep them in the freezer in serving-size packs. Four per person works nicely in our house. Make up a batch (or two) of that easy marinara sauce, and freeze it in one- or two-cup units. Cut up the cauliflower the night before, if you want to save that time. Then everything comes together quickly!
And -- did I mention -- yummy?!
