    Friendly Friday:
    Fresh Flavors from Fit Foodie Finds’ Red Coconut Curry Meatballs

    When I saw fellow Minnesotan and food blogger Lee Hersch recently drop a coconut curry meatball photo on Instagram, I just had to try her recipe. Substitutions: All the chili paste I could find had fish sauce/shrimp contaminant in it, so I couldn’t have it in my house due to allergy. However, my roommate/partner/spouse brilliantly bought…
