Family Dinner

It is super rare that we as a family actually get to sit down and eat dinner together. But tonight we were all in the same place so we feasted on delicious local veggies and beef =). The menu included spicy garlic kale (my fav veggie!), Soft Yam Chips, Sage and Oregano Omega packed meat balls, Ginger Coconut Carrots.

This meal was packed with omega 3 fatty acids in that the meatballs were loaded with organic beef which is high in omegas, sprouted flax seed, and omega eggs. It also had tons of Vitamin A, beta Carotene, and Vitamin C in the carrots and yams. The Kale brought it all together with iron, calcium, and vitamin D.

***Note because I can't help but snack while I cook I ate like 10 meatballs while I was cooking this so I only put 2 on my plate for dinner but I would recommend a higher meat ratio on your plate =) ***
