This is a very tasty, very healthy recipe. My kids loved it. My baby ate it up. It is the closest thing you are going to get to spaghetti and meatballs without the white flour, bad for you, noodles that are part of why we crave the carb so much. This was a success, and the added kale in the meatballs isn’t going to make me complain.
Paleo is another added plus, as it is a nice way to lose weight, and get healthy. I hope you enjoy it!
