Most people who know me, know I don't eat vegetables and fruit freely. I always cook these items for Robert as he is a great eater! Jack like most kids is pretty particular about what he eats. We can not get him to eat any fruit or veggies so it is a struggle to find things that are good for him. I took a recipe from Deceptively Delicious for her meatball soup and altered it a few times to get it right for our family. Jack will eat it straight for a week! Robert and I both like it to so it is a great balance for everyone. Below is the recipe Robert and I put together, we both recommend ground turkey for the meatballs instead of the hamburger but use what you have on hand.
