These sound delicious! What a great way to get in some extra veggies!!
Gabrielle doesn't like veggies much either but I bet she would LOVE these too!
That is great!!! I was just thinking this morning about ways I could sneak in veggies. My 20 month old is really picky about veggies and won't eat very many of them. However, she looooooves meatballs! I am printing this and putting it in my recipe book. Thanks!
You are welcome. Hope she likes it. :)
