Thai Meatballs with a Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce- Keto friendly!

Sometimes things just come together. Some days you just KILL it in the Kitchen. I don't feel like that happens all that often for me,
but today I was just feeling myself ya'll. LOL!
So I furiously copied down the ingredients and amounts used so that I could recreate this meal again and again. If anyone tries it let me know what you think!

Thai Meatballs over Zoodles with Thai Peanut Sauce

Ingredients for Meatballs
  • 2 lbs ground beef (80/20)
  • 2.5 Tbsp Thai curry spice seasoning
Mix together thoroughly and then form into smallish meatballs. Brown on all sides in 1 Tbsp of cooking oil ( I used avocado oil) and then place on simmer with a lid for a few minutes to cook through.
Make sauce while it simmers.

Ingredients for Sauce
  • 3/4 cup Peanut butter ( no sugar added)
  • 1/2 cup Soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Chili garlic sauce (this amount is good for mild spice, add more or less)
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 cup Coconut milk (only do the creamy part, drain the liquid off) 
    • tip-- put coconut milk in fridge overnight and then just scoop off the cream from top and use it all!
  • 2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar (could probably do rice wine vinegar)
  • 1.5 T Sesame Oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup Gentle Sweet ( or sweetener of choice)
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend away. Taste and readjust sweetness and heat per your taste. If its too thick can always thin with a bit more water. ( This makes a ton of sauce- which is pretty exciting as its so so good. I will be using it as a salad dressing and for dipping this week!!!)

After meatballs are finished set meatballs on a plate to the side and place zoodles in your pan and steam for 2-5 minutes, depending on size of zoodles. 

Serve and ENJOY! 
My family thought this sauce was BOMB. I sure hope you all love it as well!!!!
This could easily be portioned out for Meal Prep!!!!

The Nitty Gritty That is Fibro

Today I may or may not have the flu. How would you not know, right? Well, if you have Fibromyalgia, every day feels like a variation of the Flu. So if I ever do get sick, like an acute Sickness, well I never know if it is yet another symptom, or a just a bad Fibro day. So it got me thinking...With the flu so rampantly going around, maybe now is a good time to try and explain my everyday, my Fibro. I know so many who love me, or who know me and have me on your prayer chain, well you aren’t really sure what exactly it is.
