bbq meatballs
yields 16 meatballs, serving size 4 meatballs
Ingredients
For the meatballs
- 1 lb. ground pork
- 1 tsp granulated sugar substitute (honey for Paleo)
- 1 tsp paprika (smoked if you have it)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp celery salt
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 Tbsp water
For the BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
- 2 tsp Frank’s Hot Sauce
- 1 Tbsp dried onion flakes
- 3 Tbsp granulated sugar substitute (honey for Paleo)
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp low sugar ketchup
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start the sauce first so the flavors have time to develop while you are making the meatballs.
For the sauce
- Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan, stirring until smooth. Simmer on low heat for about 8 minutes.
For the meatballs
- Combine all of the meatball ingredients in a medium bowl and mix thoroughly. Form into 16 meatballs. In a large, nonstick saute pan, fry the meatballs over medium heat until golden on all sides and cooked through. About 3 – 4 minutes per side. Toss the meatballs gently in the sauce, then spread on a parchment lined baking sheet and broil (carefully!!) for 2 – 3 minutes.
- Serve with low carb cole slaw for the authentic BBQ experience!

mexican vegan chia pudding
ingredients
- 1/3 c. chia seeds
- 1 c. unsweetened almond (or other non-dairy) milk
- 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp. maple syrup (I used Grade B)
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- pinch of cayenne (optional)
instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours. Transfer mixture to blender and blend until completely smooth. If pudding is warm from blending, return to refrigerator until chilled. (Alternately, you can just stir the pudding and eat it without blending.)
notes
This pudding is thick, almost like a mousse. If you’ve blended your pudding and decide you want it a little thinner, add some extra milk. Be sure to blend the pudding until completely smooth—if you don’t, it will be gritty! A high-power blender like the Vitamix works best. Any sweetener you like will work in this, and if 1 tablespoon isn’t sweet enough, feel free to add more.
