Italian(ish) Meatballs

Ever since Whole30 my eating habits have not been what they needed to be.  While I haven't indulged in a bowl of queso yet, I have eaten my fair share of chocolate, french fries and consumed several glasses of champs.  I can already tell that my body hates me and my stomach has been in knots.  This weekend I decided to find a few new Whole30 recipes that I could add to my list.

I make zucchini noodles and homemade marinara sauce every couple of weeks so I have been wanting to find a healthy recipe for meatballs.  I was so excited when I found Primally Inspired's Grain Free Italian Meatballs so I decided to try my own take on them.  They turned out so delicious that I had them for dinner last night and lunch today!  These meatballs are stuffed full of veggies and since they're not fried like other meatball recipes they are a winner in my book!
