Veggie Filled Green Curry & Meatballs

All I ever order when I go out to eat is a Thai Curry. I love that they’re veggie filled, warm, comforting, and full of deep flavor. After ordering it about 100 times, I’ve perfected making it at home. I love that I can fluff it with veggies, prioritize protein, and serve over cauliflower rice fluff. Bonus points because I can make a big pot and keep it all week long!
