I came up with this new spin on a familiar family favorite back in October while testing Halloween recipes. I had a jar of strained tomatoes in the pantry and some ground beef and half of a cooked spaghetti squash in the fridge, and somehow I arrived at Spaghetti and Meatball Soup after not wanting to make the usual spaghetti squash with bolognese. I kept the meatballs really simple with just some salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder but used actual onion and garlic in the “sauce” for a bit of a fresher flavor. Even though the meatball ingredients are simple, if you have children or another helper handy, I highly recommend recruiting them as your meatball rollers since that step can be a bit tedious due to their small size!

These chicken thighs are marinated and cooked with kalamata and green olives, artichoke hearts, garlic, tomatoes, and more.

A Paleo twist on the popular Hasselback Potato using Sweet Potatoes, Ghee, garlic and spices to create an addictive side dish that is easy to make and will please the whole family!

I spent a week eating this stuff on butter lettuce or pure wraps with garlic rosemary aioli and spinach like it's my job. It's so good.

This is one of those recipes that I just threw together from leftovers and it worked so beautifully and tastes amazing! I ate these with homemade garlic butter.

Artichokes may just be one of our favorite vegetables, and we love the combination of artichokes, garlic, and fresh basil in this “spaghetti and meatballs” dish.

One of our favorite spice blends is adobo, which is a beautifully balanced mix of garlic, onion, bay leaf, oregano, and pepper. We love using it to season meatballs (even in soup). We think you'll find it to be a nice addition to the classic spaghetti and meatballs.
