I Slept 10 Hours… and I’m Still Tired [Timestamps]

Image
Hi, friends! First things first: I slept 10 hours… and I’m still tired. How does that happen!? Oy. More on this in a minute! So, I’m blogging from bed this evening. I put Quinn to bed and then just didn’t feel like watching TV, so I grabbed my laptop and started working on this recap from the day. I’m hoping to bring back more “day in the life” content after polling followers on Instagram. I’d say a good 90% of the replies I received were related to everyday life, family adventures, and daily meals. CNC basically started as a personal online journal, so I hope that’s where it ends up in the future. Full circle, right? 🙂 Anyway… Quinn slept until 7:15 AM (!!) this morning, but I was so groggy when he came into our bedroom, Mal actually ended up going downstairs with him, which meant I got another 40 minutes of sleep.

Chicken Hemp Meatballs with Romesco Sauce

Pasta and meatballs are a classic, comforting dish, but there’s more possibilities than the carb-heavy grain pasta and beef meatball version. You’ll find these chicken hemp meatballs to be a little lighter and more nuanced. Over a helping of spiralized zucchini, it’s the perfect match of freshness and taste, but let’s not stop there. With a rich but bright Romesco sauce, this dish opens up a whole new world of Italian flavor. Tips : Enjoy these meatballs over your favorite primal noodle. You can use raw zucchini noodles or lightly saute or roast them prior to eating. You can also serve these meatballs over cauliflower rice, spaghetti squash or sweet potato noodles. If you don’t have hazelnuts, you can switch up the romesco sauce by substituting almonds or walnuts. For more flavor, roast the nuts prior to blending them into the sauce. Servings: 3 Prep Time: 25 minutes Cooking Time: 60 minutes Ingredients: Meatballs: 12 oz. ground chicken thighs 2 Tbsp. EVO Hemp Hearts 2
