Awesome Little Girl with Blog

This little girl blogged about her gross lunches that included almost no fruit and vegetables, and her school ended up making some pretty big changes.  I think that is pretty awesome, but at the same time I worry that those kids who don't have access to a computer and internet at home are at even more of a disadvantage.

Greek Meatballs with Tzaziki

Meatballs:
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground lamb
2 eggs
white onion
fresh garlic
fresh and dried mint
fresh parsley
pepper
cumin
paprika
fried in olive oil with a bit of coconut oil
I don't mind a very onion-y taste and I'm lazy, so I didn't chop the onions very fine.


Tzaziki: Trader Joe's full fat Greek yogurt - 2 cups
skinny cucumbers, partially seeded
lots of fresh mint
a bit of fresh parsley
1/4 cup raw onion
roasted garlic
fresh lemon juice
olive oil
salt and pepper
This came out as a sauce, not a dip, because I didn't fully seed the cucumbers.  The raw onion adds a very sharp taste, so adjust for your preference.  I used a blender.
