This past holiday my husband and I went to visit his family in Germany and boy did we eat! I love all the German Christmas food like roast goose, gingerbread cake and vanilla crescent cookies, but we realized this indulgence could not last forever! So for the first post of 2014 I decided to make an easy vegetarian “meatball” recipe with mushrooms and carrots. We really needed something healthy to put us back on track.
Here’s to a happy and healthy New Year!
