Beef Meatballs
One of my childhood favourite meals growing up was my Grandma's and Mom's spaghetti and meatballs. I've been pretty fortunate to grow up with good cooks in my family. My Grandma would make her spaghetti and meatballs, but her trademark is her sweet and sour meatballs. The best would be during the Jewish high holidays when a steaming bowl of meatballs was passed around, I'm quite sure each and every time I just piled my plate high and filled up on meatballs before anything else could come out. These meatballs didn't need an accompaniment of pasta or rice, they were just fantastic on their own!
So I bring you - the meatballs that I grew up on, adjusted to be gluten free since both my mother and grandmother used breadcrumbs in their recipe.

Pulled Chicken with Sweet and Sour Sauce
Here's a totally Paleo version of one of my previous posts using Sweet and Sour Sauce!
The beauty of this post? I'm gonna be totally lazy and link you to previous posts - cause that's how all the good stuff is made!

Tofu with Sweet and Sour Sauce (not strict Paleo)
Back on the blog wagon I come, I've been neglectful. My conscious goal is to get some recipes posted here at least twice a week for consistency sake.
In a home with multiple allergies and food restrictions makes cooking and baking difficult. For example, I can't eat wheat. But my husband can. However a lot of Paleo/Gluten free recipes for baking call for almond products such as flour, not a problem for me but a big problem for my husband.
At the same time, knowing that my husband misses out on all types of tree nuts he shouldn't be subject to gluten free stuff all the time because he can process gluten. Also he shouldn't be subject to the Paleo diet if he chooses to not go in the same direction, so I always provide a starch option to my meals or something else.
That's where this Tofu with Sweet and Sour Sauce came out of. Mainly because I had no chicken on hand. You could easily make this recipe and swap the protein to one that you prefer. The sauce is completely paleo, the tofu part...not so much. I ate mine (pictured below) without rice, and my husband had rice with his.

Paleo Coffee Smoothie
Yesterday after the WOD and Gymnastics, I was absolutely starving. But I knew that at 10:30pm I didn't want to eat. But I wanted something a little more than my usual protein shake afterwards. I saw PaleOMG post on Instagram a picture of her iced mocha. So I decided that I was going to kick that up a notch!
