Happy Humpday guys! I had several requests to share the recipes from my instastory Monday night featuring these Thai meatballs and curry cauliflower. I have to say both were amazing. The flavors were off the hook good and both were relatively easy to make and healthy. The meatballs have no bread in them just chia seeds to bind so they are super light and tasty.
I swear I only have one kid that is a good eater at a time. Right now it is Sterling. As I was making the meatballs he exclaimed that looks gross like 10 times. The green stuff always throws him for a loop. After he sat down to eat them, he looked at me and goes " Mom, you were right these are awesome." Winning mom moment, I love when I am right:) Frances however would not touch dinner and went to bed hungry. Go figure, at least one child appreciated my cooking skills. These are a little spicy so use less hot sauce if you don't want them as spicy.
I loved both and I also paired mine with my favorite
Asian Kale Salad. The 3 make a pretty killer dinner combo in my book:)
Enjoy!

- 1 pound ground chicken
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1.5 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 3 green onions sliced finely
- 1/4 cup cilantro finely chopped
- 1.5 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
FOR THE GLAZE
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
Put all the ingredients for the meatballs in a medium bowl. Use your hands to mix all together. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This gives the chia seeds time to bind everything together.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
With damp hands gently roll the chicken mix into balls. Don't squeeze the meat too much. Arrange them on the baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
In a large skillet, whisk together ingredients for the glaze. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook about 1 minute or until it slightly thickens. Add meatballs to skillet and shake to gently coat with glaze. Serve warm.

The dressing room find of this week is a super cute tee shirt dress I spied at Loft.
I am wearing a size small runs TTS. I loved the pattern and the fact that it was not clingy
