Happy Friday!! \u00a0I have mentioned here on the blog a time or two that we are 80 per cent Paleo 100 per cent of the time. \u00a0The translation is that although every morsel that goes into our mouths does not adhere to the Paleo food plan, we strive to make 80 per cent of our meals Paleo and have done so since November. \u00a0It was a choice we made just to eat healthier since neither my husband nor I needs to lose weight.<\/h3>\n

(Sorry for the sourced picture! \u00a0I forgot to take photos of the meatballs before I served them.)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That being said, we hosted our annual homeowners’ association meeting at our place this week. \u00a0It took place at cocktail hour so I served heavy hors d’oeuvres, and I decided to offer as many Paleo choices as possible. \u00a0Of course, I didn’t make an announcement to the group that they would be eating like a caveman, because I didn’t want to open that (ahem) can of worms.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

I found a great Italian meatball recipe at www.changeofpaceforme.com<\/a> and am excited to share it with you today. \u00a0I made a few tweaks that worked really well. \u00a0And by the way, our guests L.O.V.E.D. the meatballs.<\/h3>\n
