NOT YOUR TYPICAL GRANDMA’S PALEO MEATBALLS

I´ve found the following recepie at cavemanstrong.com and since I have hypothyreos and gluten intolerance. I´ve been searching for ways to feel better so Paleo Food is a great diet for a healthier living.

Everyone LOVES meatballs, and these little tasty morsels have a very unique flavour and are to die for. If you have kids let them help you, there are lots of ingredients for them to throw together and have them roll the meatballs.  They’re sure to enjoy and gobble down  something they’ve helped make.  For this recipe  I used organic grass fed beef.

Serves 4
