Description

Ingredients

• Meatballs
• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 cloves of garlic crushed;
• 1 small onion minced
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon oregano
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• ½ teaspoon basil
• ½ teaspoon parsley (dried)
• 1 Tablespoon coconut flour
• 2 Tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil
• Tomatoes
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pints of grape tomatoes
• 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon oregano
• ½ teaspoon basil
• Zucchini Noodles
• 3 medium zucchinis made into noodles

Directions

• For the meatballs:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl add all ingredients except coconut oil (or olive oil).
• Mix well and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Heat coconut oil (or olive oil) in a cast iron skillet or oven proof skillet.
• Form meat mixture into round balls. I made 16 large ones.
• Brown all sides in the skillet.
• After browning, place skillet into oven and cook for 10 minutes. Make sure meatballs are done.
• Cool before freezing.
• For the tomato dish:
• Add olive oil to a skillet and heat on medium.
• Add tomatoes, garlic and spices.
• Mix well and cook until tomatoes start to deflate and brown. Can cook longer if you wish. I like mine a little plump.
• Take off stove and cool before freezing.
• Assemble 4 meals with 3 meatballs each, and divide the zucchini noodles and tomatoes into fourths.
• To cook from frozen, microwave for 6 minutes. Times may vary.
