Healthy Recipe: Meat Balls!

A great way to have protein on the go, simple to put together and not bad on the taste buds. Here is a recipe for Paleo Meatballs!

The Mixed Up Mince

Meatballs- Greek Infused

500gms ground lamb (I just used Beef as Im not a huge fan of lamb)

500gms ground beef

2 tablespoons minced chives

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup chopped parsley

1 egg, room temp

1 tablespoon dried mint 

1 tablespoon oregano

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 1/2 tespoons cumin

1 tablespoon cinnamon

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Optional 8-10 dried apricots, chopped

Optional 8 (or a many as you want) kalamata olives, chopped

Mix all the above ingredients and form into meatballs.  Place on a cooling rack which is on a baking sheet so that they brown all the way around.  Bake at 200 about 15 mins, depending on size.

Makes approximately 15 meatballs.  Serves 3-4.

Put with Paleo Bolagnaise sauce or on its own. Enjoy! 

Healthy Recipe: Dinner- Roast Bacon Wrapped Beef with Pumpkin

This has got to be one of my favourite recipes. It's simple, relatively quick and sooo yum! And yes the meal is paleo!

Here's how I did it.

Ingredients-

2 Sirloin Steak (Grass Fed)
6 Short Cut Pieces of Bacon
Mixed Herbs
1/4 Pumpkin
3 Fresh Chillies
Tooth Picks/ Skewers

Process-

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees. Spray oven tray with coconut oil.

2. Lay the bacon on oven tray. Finely chop chillies and sprinkle on bacon. Do the same with mixed herbs.

3. Cut steak into 100gm pieces and lay on bacon. Wrap steak with bacon, containing the chilli and herbs. Secure with tooth pick or skewer.

4. Cut up pumpkin into 1-2cm cubed pieces and sprinkle with mixed herbs. Then place pumpkin randomly in the tray.

5. Cook for approximately 30 minutes. (Depending how you would like your steak cooked, time will differ.)

6. Serve with side salad or roasted vegetables!

This was a 10/10 in yummy-ness and now on the favourites list for my man.
