Primal Meatballs!
Ive been watching a cooking show the last few weeks, called America’s Next Great Restaurant One of the contestants is doing a meatball place called “Saucy Balls” This got me in the mood to make some meatballs. So I headed over to Marks Daily Apple and found this great primal meatball recipe: Italian Sausage Meatballs with Fresh Herbs. I made a double batch since I had to buy full packs of herbs and didn’t want them to go to waste. I also made a nice simple Marinara Sauce, I’ll post the recipe later. They were perfect and the rest are going in the freezer to have for quick meals and lunches. One note, I baked mine in the oven at 450 for about 15 minutes(depends on the size of the meatballs)
Cobb Salad for Lunch
How can you not like a diet that lets you eat salads like this? This is my cobb salad made from from a Recipe on Marks Daily Apple. He’s got a bunch of other great salad recipes in this article 10 Classic DIY Salad Creations The others look good too, but the cobb salad is by far my favorite.
The Recipe
2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
3 bacon slices, cooked
1 head romaine lettuce, leaves separated and torn into bite-size pieces
4 cups diced cooked turkey or chicken (leftovers work best!)
1 avocado, pitted, peeled and diced
1 tomato, chopped
1/4 cup of blue cheese
Dressing:
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1/3 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Arrange lettuce in the bottom of a plate or shallow bowl. Feel free to get artsy arranging the rest of the ingredients (rows of vegetables are a popular method, but if you feel like just chucking it all in, go ahead!).
For the dressing, whisk together the wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Once combined, drizzle in the olive oil to form a thick dressing. Add to salad and serve immediately.
