As of now, you have probably guessed I’m a little bit passionate about food, and of course the Paleo lifestyle. Like everyone else at this time of year, I do like to indulge in some comfort foods, I mean, I would lying if I said I didn’t nibble on some not so Paleo treats.

In every lifestyle, there should be some room for those ‘cheats’, especially during the holiday season.

Personally, I associate this season with spending quality time with family, friends, and of course with good FOOD.This week I would like to share with you a great recipe that can be brought to any pot luck or holiday gathering!

Amaz-balls With Crunchy Sweet Potato Chips

These are a must try, and yes, I made them in the crock pot but you can also bake these in the oven as well.

Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients
Mix together (use your hands)
2lbs grassfed ground beef(or extra lean beef)
1lb of pork sausage
chopped celery, onions, and carrots
3 eggs
1/2 cup almond meal
lots of dried oregano, garlic powder, cracked black pepper, and a little cayenne
small drizzle of raw honey
Form into large meatballs and cover bottom of crock pot. (you might have to stack them depending on the size of your crock pot).


For the sauce mix:
1 16 oz can of diced tomatoes
1 can of tomatoe paste
a large handfull of torn fresh basil
5-6 coarsely chopped garlic cloves
a couple pinches of sea salt
cracked black pepper to taste.


Cover meatballs with tomato sauce and cook all day on low.


Sweat Potato Chips
Meanwhile, heat enough oil in a frying pan for deep frying.
Peel sweet potato then slice into ribbons using a vegetable peeler. Place a small handful of sweet potato ribbons in frying pan and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly browned.
Remove from frying pan and place on a plate lined with paper towel to drain.
Repeat with remaining sweet potato.
To serve, place sweet potato ribbons on a plate and top with meatballs.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!
