Paleo Meatballs with Chia seeds

This recipe came from: Bare Root Girl

I'll give the measurements she gave, but I always just wing it:

1 lb. beef (I used bison)
2 T tomato paste
2 cloves garlic (I used dried.  Horrors, I know.)
2 t italian herbs.  (I used more like 2 T, on accident)
1 t sea salt
1 t ground pepper
2 T chia seeds

Combine all ingredients and mush together.  Let rest for a few minutes so the chia seeds can start to absorb moisture.

(The recipe cooked the meatballs on a skillet, but I did it in the oven.)

Form into meatballs, put on a cookie sheet covered with foil.  Bake at 400 F for 25 ish minutes.

They're really good!

Sweet Potato Sausage Hash

I asked my sister how she made this after having it several times, courtesy of her.  Every time: "It's super easy, you do blah, blah, blah, and by the way, it's in that cookbook we both have."


I think I overlooked it every time b/c the fist word in the title was jalapeno.

My method:
Thinly slice about 3 sweet potatoes, chop up several bell peppers and 1 onion.  Slice up 8 links of pre-cooked sausage from Costco - some kind of turkey Italian something or other.

Layer everything into the crockpot, add a dash of smashed garlic, cook on low overnight.

Breakfast for days!  And lunch.

Quick curry-ish dinner

In a large skillet on the stove-top:

Saute a chopped onion in coconut oil.  Add a big dollop of chopped or crushed garlic (TJ's jarred works great), and some curry paste (Love the Mae Ploy brand).

After 5 mins, add ground beef, cook until browned.

Add half a bag of chopped frozen peppers (also from TJ's).  Or like two chopped fresh peppers

After two minutes, add half a bunch of kale, cook until starting to wilt.

Add a can of coconut milk, cook until heated through.

Enjoy!
