Preparation for the week

The chiefs won! 4-0!

I spent $70 at Aldi... I was not happy about this :( I came home and realized I bought double of some things I already had! Bummer.... good news... we need to get more calories/carbs/nutrients in our daily intake anyways! Trying to look on the bright side but I usually try to spend around $50.

So, Here is my prep and what I made to make my week easier.

Meatballs 

These meatballs are from Sarah Fragoso's Everyday Paleo cookbook. Check out her blog. It rocks.
Okay so here is the recipe:

• 2 zucchinis
• 1 sweet potato
• 4 cups fresh whole-leaf spinach
• 3 roasted red peppers (make them yourself) 
• 2 cloves of garlic 
• 1 yellow onion
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 eggs
• sea salt and black pepper to taste

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees

Grate your zucchini and sweet potato and put in a large mixing bowl. This is how I chop things for my meatballs. The Vitamix! 

Put 2 chopped zucchini and your 2 garlic cloves in your vitamix and add water.  Don't pack it in there... 

Blend on speed 4 for a few seconds drain with a strainer and move it to a bowl large bowl. Repeat with your onion, sweet potato, roasted peppers, and spinach. 

It should look like this- 

Add your remaining ingredients and mix with your hands. 

Form into small balls. About the size of a golf ball or a bit bigger. 

Place in a deep oven safe dish. Tightly cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees for 40-45 minutes. 

Let sit 10 minutes before taking the foil off.
