Meal Idea: Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

I'm sure that most people have heard of the Paleo Diet.  I really don't want to call it a diet, as it is certainly not something that is done for a week or two to lose some weight.  No, the Paleo Diet is a way to eat to fuel the body properly- getting the right nutrients and avoiding the foods that can cause problems with inflammation and other autoimmune type issues.

If you aren't sure about the Paleo Diet and how it would fit into your life, check out these recipes that are pretty simple to make, but so, so delicious.  The recipes will take you to the Paleo Leap site, where the recipes are available freely (note, I am not an affiliate, but I strongly believe in Paleo Leap and all that they do).

Preps in 15 minutes, cooks in around 35.   and if you are into the nutritional information, 28g Protein, 3g Carbohydrate, and 17g Fat per serving.  The recipe serves 4, as is, but who says you can't make up a double batch and have some for the next day's lunch?

A perfect pairing for the Buffalo Chicken meatballs, above.  Most of the prep work involves the washing and cutting of the veggies, so it will take around 20 minutes or so, but cooks in roughly 10 minutes.  You could have these done while the meatballs cook, and like the meatballs, this recipe serves 4.  With 4g Protein, 14g Carbohydrate, and 14g Fat, it makes for a perfect side dish for any meat based main course.

Give the these two recipes a try.  They are fairly simple to whip up, and can be done in less than an hour.  Don't forget to go check out the Paleo Leap website for more recipes that will have your mouth watering!
