Green Chile Pork Bites

Ingredients:

2 packages refrigerated crescent rolls
2 large or 3 medium pork sausages (pre-packaged, not ground meat in casing)
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Stubb’s Green Chile Anytime Sauce

Cooking Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350° degrees. Get 2 muffin baking trays.

Cut sausages into 16 1/2″ thick pieces. Open the crescent roll packages and unroll the dough.

Separate the dough triangles and place them into 16 of the muffin tin cups, tucking in the ends of the triangles to form little cups. Place a tablespoon of shredded cheese into each cup and then place a piece of sausage on top of the cheese. Drizzle the green chile sauce over each sausage cup.

Place the filled muffin trays in the oven and bake for about 14-16 minutes, or until the dough is cooked and lightly browned at the edges. If the dough is cooked and the sausage looks a little undercooked, place a piece of aluminum foil on top of the pork bites and bake for another few minutes. Serve warm.

These can be made ahead and reheated in the oven or the microwave.

Paleo Italian Meatballs

(Adapted from Meatball Nirvana at Allrecipes.com)

1 pound grass fed beef (ground pork would probably be awesome!)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup onion minced (I grate mine!)
1 small garlic cloved minced
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup almond flour

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl.  I form the mixture into two inch meatballs but you can make smaller ones or bigger ones.  Just adjust the bake time.  Put the little guys on the baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes.

paleo and gluten-free tortillas

This recipe is based on the coconut flour tortilla recipe from Paleo Comfort Foods. The ingredients form a thin batter and yield about 8 pliable soft tacos.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup coconut flour (40 g)
• 1/4 teaspoon baking pwoder
• 8 egg whites (240 g or 1 cup)
• 1/2 cup water
• pinch of salt
• coconut oil (as needed, for greasing the press or pan)

Instructions

1. In a bowl mix all ingredients. Set aside for five minutes. The batter takes about that long to hydrate and thicken.
2. If necessary greese your tortilla press or pan with coconut oil.
3. Make the tortillas:
   • In a preheated electric tortilla press: Pour about a little less than 1/4 cup of batter onto the tortilla press. Quickly smooth out using a heat resistant spoon, and press the top of the press down to distribute the rest of the batter. Cook until the indicator on the press goes off.
   • In a pan over medium heat: Pour a little less than 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan. Quickly smooth out using a heat resistant spoon. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until the edges of the tortilla start to turn golden brown. Then flip and cook for an additional minute or two.
4. Transfer tortillas to a plate and cover with a paper towel to keep warm.
5. Serve with desired toppings and do your best to keep away from within hungry doggy mouths. :)
