This is a #littlebitsof_realfood recipe that is a family favorite. I must admit that it is NOT my favorite but it is one of my family’s faves. It is simple to make, is Whole 30 compliant, and is hearty & healthy. My family fights over the leftovers and they are very specific that they do not like the meatballs stored with the marinara. Sometimes they opt to have them the next day with red sauce but other times, they like the meatballs on salad, or cut in half and loaded onto a sub and topped with melted cheese.
