"Spaghetti" (sqaush) and Meatballs

The pictures didn't turn out so great on these because we were in a hurry and very hungry! :) Our kitchen smelled SO good. It turned out quite delicious. I would highly recommend it. I think this would be something great to try if you are trying to get your kids (or husbands!) to eat more vegetables.

I haven't had spaghetti squash in quite a while because a few years back I was eating it just about every day for breakfast and got really burnt out on it.

Spaghetti squash...I've missed you...and I look forward to rebuilding our relationship! :)

Paleo Spaghetti and Meatballs:

Meatballs: (approximate measurements)

• 1 lb ground chicken;
• Garlic powder
• 1 egg;
• Almond flour;
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce;
• 1 tsp paprika;
• 1 tsp onion powder;
• Italian seasoning
• Generous amounts of basil paste
• Juice and zest of 1 lemon;
• Coconut oil
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Mix all ingredients together (add enough almond meal to make the right meatball consistency…whatever that is?!)
2. Form into golf ball size balls
3. Heat Coconut oil up in frying pan
4. Fry meatballs up (3-5 minutes per side)
5. If you don’t move them around a lot they can get nice and crispy!
