HONEY SRIRACHA MEATBALLS

I always tell my patients that when eating a little healthier, it’s SO important to make things that you get excited to eat.. and these meatballs are definitely something to get excited about! They also make a great portable meal-prep dish to pack for lunch or dinner

I packed mine with sautéed zucchini and spaghetti squash & cheese (recipe will be included later this week! )
