Meatballs..... any ideas???
I need to change up what I am eating still I have been at a stall for almost 2 months now. I need to reduce my carbs, increase my exercise, increase my vegetables. I am getting tired of just eating chicken. I am craving meatballs.... any recipe suggestions that are "easy" and "simple"? Thanks!! :) I have 4 lbs to go to reach my goal but I am having a terrible time getting that off!!! LOL
I made these without the sauce a while back: http://damndelicious.net/2014/10/15/asian-quinoa-meatballs/
They came to 49 calories per meatball with 5 grams protein and only 1 carb.

These are my favorite meatballs. The recipe comes from "Lauries Low Carb Cookbook" which is my favorite for this diet. The pork gives it a nice moistness and flavor. I make them about one ounce each, and freeze them. Then I can pop them out and have a quick meal. I'll have them with sauce sometimes, but often just with a little parmesan cheese.
