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!
