More Recipes!

So my photos aren't the best but I think you get the picture.  :) This was last nights dinner, Meatballs (a recipe I made up on the fly) and this mornings leftover WAFFLES (yes you heard me right) which I froze from the weekend and served with homemade applesauce.  Enjoy! 

MADISON'S GLUTEN, GRAIN & EGG FREE MEATBALLS
Makes about 12 meatballs

• 1 lb of ground turkey meat or ground beef
• 3/4 cup of Almond flour 
• 1/4 x cup of chopped onion
• 1/2 cup of any chopped veggie (optional - we like spinach)
• 1 Teaspoon of sea salt (or as much as you like)
• 1 Teaspoon of organic garlic powder or 3 cloves minced fresh garlic
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil to sautee

Stir Almond Flour, Onion, Garlic, Sea Salt, Chopped Veggies in a medium bowl until mixed well.  Grab a small handful of turkey meat for your first meatball, press it flat on a flat surface and place a spoonful of your mix on top of your meatball and blend it with your hands, once the mix is blended well roll into a ball, if not coated with enough almond flour roll it in your mix.  Repeat until your turkey meat is gone.  Sautee meatballs in olive oil in a frying pan on Medium heat for 20-25 minutes.  Break open the largest one to make sure it is cooked through.  Serve with Marinara or anything your family likes!  We like Trader Joe's Marinara for dipping!

SIMPLE GLUTEN & GRAIN FREE WAFFLES!
Recipe adapted from http://thegoodeatah.blogspot.com/2010/02/coconut-flour-waffles.html

• 4 tablespoons melted butter (we used goat butter but if you can do grassfed cow butter Kerrigold is good)
• 6 eggs
• 1/3 cup agave nectar
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/3 cup coconut flour 
• 3 pinches of Stevia Powder
• 1 Tablespoon of Vanilla
• 1 Teaspoon of Cinnamon

 In a blender, mix the butter and eggs until combined thoroughly. Then add the agave, sea salt, baking powder, Stevia, vanilla and cinnamon and mix to combine. Lastly, add the coconut flour and mix until completely combined without any lumps. Let the batter sit for at least five minutes (it will thicken) before adding to your waffle maker.

This recipe makes 4-5, large round waffles.
**Our batter made 5 waffles, we only ate three so I took the other two waffles and broke them into four triangles each (8 pcs) and froze them.  Throw them in the toaster for a quick breakfast and serve with your favorite fruit, we like homemade applesauce.
**These waffles are not that crispy but are crispier when toasted after freezing
