It's been hard just remembering that I'm blogging again. It used to be second nature and was always in the front of my mind to take pictures and post every day. I'm probably going to be posting a lot of recipes just for content until I get into the swing of things again.
These meatballs are in the oven right now. This is a really good recipe from "ketoincourt" on Instagram. It's great with jarred spaghetti sauce. I usually use Classico Tomatoes & Basil sauce on them. Today I'm making the alfredo sauce recipe with them. We'll probably have the spaghetti sauce with them tomorrow with some mozzarella cheese on hoagie rolls. Who doesn't love a messy meatball sub? Yum.

Combine all and use a large cookie scoop to make large meatballs. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 30 minutes until browned.
Serve with warmed marinara, spaghetti sauce, or keto alfredo sauce (recipe below).
