Asian pork meatballs – delicious served with rice and they’re also really yummy with some stir-fried veggies and noodles (or on skewers as party food).

What we eat around here is influenced by a few factors.

Primarily it’s health.

Health for me doesn’t mean diet food or leaves and or fad stuff.

Health means eating real food.

That’s it – real food or in Instagram talk #jerf (just eat real food).

We’re pretty budget conscious but also wherever possible I try to buy organic or pesticide/hormone/antibiotic free.

I also do my best to support the little guys like our local farmers.

Try out this low-calorie beef and vegetable meatloaf.

It’s often a big internal struggle between budget and local and meeting my nasty-free criteria but often all these criteria can be met by buying locally or direct from the farmers.

I love our Sunday morning tradition of visiting our local Noosa Farmers Markets.

We’re on a first-name basis with lots of the stall holders and these days it’s nice to shop somewhere that seems ‘normal.’

Having the kids involved in the food shopping & teaching them about the food & where it comes from is a big priority around here.

The kids also love that the stallholders usually give them freebies (which usually leads to me buying more of the thing – well played stallholder, well played).

I had to start giving them their own budget so I don’t go broke.

I based these roughly on my gyoza recipe and they were delicious.

Really really tasty – enough to hold their own as cocktail food with a dipping sauce.

I served them with rice and a pretty poor excuse for a salad but they’d also be really yummy with some stir-fried veggies and noodles.

They freeze well too so you could make up a big batch and portion them out.

Freeze them cooked for a super-quick meal. Enjoy!
