Ballin'

I know its been a few days since I posted last. Its just we had some really boring "normal" dishes. like steak and veggies, and the such. And I figured you guys don't need to know how to make steak and veggies. I hope that's ok. =P 

Tonight however was another pinterest inspired dinner. We had meatballs with vodka sauce, bread sticks, and corn. Now i have to confess the sauce and the bread sticks were not paleo. They were stuff that needed to get used from before the switch. But luckily for you i will be giving you a links to paleo version of all that we had for dinner. 

The meatballs were so good. I am in love with this recipe and am thinking about putting it on my weekly menu. http://marianutrition.blogspot.com/2010/08/italian-meatballs.html Now they cooked them in the crockpot but we didn't have time and so we baked them on a broiler pan at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. A few of the larger ones were still a bit pink in the middle so next time we are gonna try baking them at 375 degrees for 35 minutes and see how that works. 

There were a few things in this recipe that we changed. 

1. We didn't have any turkey sausage so we just added more ground beef

2. We didn't have any almond flour so we just coconut flour. 

3. We didn't have any tomatoes, so we used vodka sauce.

Here is what they turned out like.

Don't those just look so yummy! =] And they were even better slathered in sauce! 

Now here is a link  to the vodka sauce we are gonna try next time. http://bittersweetblog.com/2012/02/22/alone-in-the-kitchen/  But just in case you don't want vodka sauce here is a link to a basic red sauce http://www.multiplydelicious.com/thefood/2011/09/homemade-veggie-tomato-sauce/  I cant wait to try this one too! I love red sauce and just about everything is better in red sauce. (note: just about everything) http://www.multiplydelicious.com/thefood/2013/02/paleo-pizza-sticks/ and this is the link to Pizza sticks but i bet they would be just as yummy without the pizza seasoning in them. 

Ok here comes the best part of this blog and even more reason for you to want to try these OMG - mazing meatballs.  They are dragonborn approved. She loved these which is weird because usually she doesn't like ground meats. 

Now i have no idea why she is making that face. DH's phone take a longer time than most to snap a picture and she doesn't sit still for very long. But none the less, she is still cute! =]
