Our Favorite Meatball Recipes {and a Food Truck Fantasy}
Is it just me or do you agree that Meatballs are a Fabulously FUN Food? I think if I were going to have a Food Truck (and you know we’ve all secretly wanted to own a food truck), I’d make it all about the meatballs ~ Mobile Meatballs (ooo or maybe Meatball Madness). The possibilities are endless.

Greek Chicken Meatballs {and a Meze Platter}
I adore the flavors in these Greek Chicken Meatballs. Lemon and feta and fresh spinach and herbs all playing so nicely together. Ground chicken is such a wonderful canvas for painting big bold flavors and that’s exactly what we’ve done on this Greek Meze platter.

Eggplant Meatballs
With these Eggplant Meatballs you’ll never even miss the meat. Through all of this March Meatball Madness I have received several requests through social media (some subtle, some not) to share more vegetarian options. This veggie-loving lady is happy to oblige!

Hawaiian Style Macaroni Salad is Simply Delicious
Every plate lunch in Hawaii includes a scoop of Hawaiian Style Macaroni Salad. It’s very basic, but that’s what makes it so good. In Hawaii the plate lunch is their most popular dish. Yes, the poke bowl is a close competitor, but every road side stand, food truck, and hole-in-the-wall restaurant offers a plate lunch. Classically your ‘plate’ will include a protein, then they add two scoops of white rice and a generous serving of this macaroni salad. It’s a carb lovers dream!

Chicken Satay Meatballs {with Peanut Dipping Sauce}
Chicken Satay Meatballs were my sister Sarah’s call. In fact Sarah had several suggestions for March Meatball Madness. Let’s just say she has a vivid imagination and extreme creativity when it comes to food and I love her for it!!!

Asian Salmon Meatballs Over Cauliflower Fried Rice
This simple dinner of Asian Salmon Meatballs over Cauliflower Fried Rice has got my wheels spinning. My fantasy of owning a Food Truck featuring meatballs is always in the back of my mind, whirling and twirling with endless possibilities.

Cauliflower Fried Rice
Cauliflower Fried Rice. If you’re craving a low-carb or vegetarian alternative to traditional fried rice, this is the recipe for you. A little sesame oil and soy sauce and you’ve got the flavor profile down. I always add carrots, onion and green peas but sometimes I also add zucchini, broccoli, mushrooms, shrimp, or even bacon.

Shepherd’s Pie – A Classic Comfort Food
If I must choose one beloved dish that reminds me most of my childhood and family it would be Shepherd’s Pie. I would request it for my birthday dinners, when a celebration was in order, or when I just craved Mom’s home cooking.

Spring Thyme Green Minestrone
Spring Thyme Green Minestrone Soup. When I looked into the eyes of my beautiful new fridge I saw shelves and drawers overflowing with ingredients that begged for a chance to play nicely together. The result of nonstop cooking for a week straight. Have you seen our March Meatball Madness posts??! When I studied the contents it became blatantly obvious that my fridge and my well-being needed a big pot of soup!
