Notes

Leftovers can be frozen

This is another easy ‘cheat meal.’ Let’s face it, us mums are pretty short of time! Having a high-needs reflux baby like Annabelle meant that these speedy meals were an absolute must-have if I were to stand any chance of keeping my sanity!

Tip: To save time, you can prepare the meatballs the night before and store in the fridge.
