Flaxseed Meatball Bake
This one-dish meatball bake is a weeknight winner
I make this delicious bake at least once a week. It is so quick and easy to prepare, packed with protein and veggies and you can double the recipe so dinner is sorted for a few nights. Delicious it on it’s own or with some high-protein pasta pasta.
