30-Minute Herby Meatballs with Creamy Kale Orzo

Okay, we’re in this weird in-between time after Thanksgiving and before Christmas that reminds me strangely of an episode of Black Mirror. Not in a bad way or anything … but in the sense that I have no idea what time of the day it is, I’m barely motivated (I just want to sit by the fire, watch cozy movies, and veg out all day 😉), and I can never decide on what I want to eat — which is so not like me 🥲

All that said, when I’m feelin’ too lazy to cook, but still want something fresh and homemade, I tend to make these 30-Minute Herby Meatballs with Creamy Kale Orzo! They’re packed with tons of fresh lemon and zesty herbs (exactly what I’m craving after indulging in all the thanksgiving food), and it’s simple to prepare! Grab a drink and let’s get to cooking!

Earlier this year, TasteAtlas ranked Lumpia (Lumping Shanghai), as the world’s second best street food — and for good reason! These cigar-shaped spring rolls are the perfect combination of crispy, savory, and salty goodness! Growing up, lumpia was served at every occasion and they were always the first to go. I remember watching my mom roll what seemed liked hundreds of lumpia for every celebration and gathering, and to be able to continue that tradition means so much to me! This year, we’ll be rolling them together for Thanksgiving and I can’t wait to make new traditions and memories! If you’re thinking about making something absolutely delicious (and slightly addicting) this holiday season, this is your sign to make this vegan lumpia! But this is also your warning, because once you make them, you will be asked to make them all the time!

This vegan pancit is a special recipe for me. Growing up, my mom always made huge trays of pancit for holidays, birthday parties, BBQs, and any other celebration you can think of. It’s one of those Filipino dishes that everyone truly loves! While many recipes call for either bihon or canton noodles, this recipe uses both because that’s how my mom always made it! I love the texture of both of the noodles, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
