Buffalo Meatball Snack

Well, here's more of the return of the Safe Carbs.  White Rice!!!  Yikes.  I haven't eaten rice, except maybe some wild rice in a weekly gruel, for over a year.  This is sushi rice, which I really like.  I slathered it in grass fed butter and reheated the Buffalo Meatballs in the oven.


Keeping up with me requires eating lots of food!

Grilled Pork Chop

This was a very very tasty pork chop from Frolona Farms.  They were out of grass fed beef the last time I stopped by the farmer's market in East Atlanta Village.  So,... this turned out to be a great alternative.


Lamb Steak, Veggies, Curry

Here's another leftover recipe.  I grilled 2 lamb steaks and needed to reheat this one.  Same basic formula of meat, veggies, and ghee.  Added a bunch of curry and cayenne pepper to spice this one up.


Leftover Turkey

This is another quick one.  Perhaps you're overloaded with turkey after Thanksgiving?

Eggs, Bacon, and Avocados

Here's a quick one.  3 eggs, bacon, 1/2 avocado & some grass fed New Zealand Cheddar

Buffalo Meatballs

My name is Riley and I have boundless energy!!!

Well, there was a little hiatus from posting as I adjusted to having a new kitchen helper, Riley.  She's about 10 months old now and quite full of energy.  I've been hiking so much that I've lost about 3 lbs.

I also needed to come up with something a little different in terms of a recipe.  So, here are some grilled buffalo meatballs with a veggie mix of Japanese sweet potato, yellow squash, spinach, and shallot cooked in ghee.  I'm upping the carbs in my diet after getting a question answered on an episode of Robb Wolf's Paleo Solution podcast.  Essentially, I was in sort of a limbo land between a ketogenic diet and one with not quite enough carbs.  Listen to the podcast for more details.

Here's the photo sequence.

Garlic and olives

1 lb of ground buffalo from Costco

Mix it together

Add some black pepper and cayenne

Form into meatballs

These are very low fat, so I coated them in Avocado Oil to prevent sticking on the grill


Onto the gas grill with Man Grates

Almost done
Here's a sweet potato that I pre-baked.  This makes it quicker to cook since you just need to heat it up.
