Breastfeeding Friendly Ginger-Scallion Beef Meatballs

These savory, ginger-forward meatballs are the kind of weeknight dinner that feels a little special without demanding much from you — which is exactly what you need when you're running on limited sleep and a serious appetite. Ground beef brings a solid hit of iron and protein, both of which matter a lot when your body is working overtime to produce milk. Fresh ginger shows up twice here, once in the meatballs and again in the glossy coconut aminos glaze, giving every bite a warm, aromatic kick that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of a little honey. Scallions and garlic round out the flavor without relying on anything processed or hard to track down. The glaze comes together in just a few minutes on the stovetop and coats each meatball in a sticky, savory finish that tastes like it took way more effort than it did. Everything is baked rather than fried, so cleanup is minimal and the whole thing comes together on a single sheet pan. Scatter those scallion greens on top and you've got a dish that looks as good as it tastes.
