This is a perfect winter, comforting meal! Picture above: We also made homemade pork and beef balls (in the picture) hence it looks really imperfect! But it did taste pretty darn good! Picture below: I love that I can enjoy this as a low carb meal that doesn’t taste “healthy at all”. You can see…

113kcal Spinach Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins (GF, DF)
