Quick Homemade Cranberry Sauce



Add this as a fresh delicious side dish, and give your Thanksgiving meal some wonderful antioxidants and Vitamin C.


Makes 2 1/2 cups. Prep and Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients
  • 3 cups (1 12-ounce bag) cranberries
  • 1 sweet apple, such as Fuji, cored and cut into1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 ripe pear, such as Bartlett or Anjou, cored and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/3 cup maple or agave syrup (use coconut nectar for less sugar)
  • 1/4 cup currants or raisins
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • Pinch of salt

Directions

1. Combine cranberries, apple, pear, 1/2 cup orange juice, syrup, currants, orange zest, and salt in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat.

2. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples and pears pierce easily with a fork, 18 to 25 minutes. If the sauce becomes dry, stir in more orange juice as necessary to prevent scorching.

Paleo Meatballs



Spicy Tex-Mex Grain Free Meatballs



Ingredients:

-1 pound ground grass fed beef
-1 large egg 
-1/3 cup red pepper (about half a red pepper) finely diced
-1/3 cup green onion, chopped
-1 medium sized jalapeno, seeded and finely diced (keep the seeds in for more heat)
-1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro, chopped
-11/2 teaspoons ground cumin 
-1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-2 teaspoon dried oregano 
-1/2 teaspoon garlic granules or powder
-1/4 cup almond flour or Ground Flax Meal (Flax can help meatballs stay moist)
-1 1/2 teaspoons coarse sea salt 
-1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper


Directions: 

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a large cookie sheet or line with parchment paper. I LOVE making on my Pampered Chef Bar Pan.
2. Add everything to a large bowl and gently mix till well combined.
3. Make golf ball size (or larger) out of the meat mixture and place them about 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
4. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meat balls reaches 165 degrees. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with coarse sea salt and allow them to rest for a few minutes.
5. If desired, place the meatballs under the broiler for the last two minutes for a crispier outside.

- 1 pinch sea salt


Directions:

1. Preheat Oven to 350F and then Mix it all Up

3. Bake about about 20 mins at 350F in the oven.
