Packed with fresh herbs and spices, this flavorful meatball recipe is inspired by the flavors of Morocco.  Traditionally served on pasta, I think it’s too good to confine to noodles.  Serve the meatballs and sauce on its own or as a meal with spaghetti squash, rice cauliflower, or spiralized zucchini.  From the tomatoes to the garlic and spices, […]

Six of the Best Shots of All Time

January 1, 2018

 Would you rather make one eye-popping shot or never miss? Can you do either?
