Mini Bison-Bacon Meatballs

Recipe type: Appetizer

Prep time: 15 mins

Cook time: 30 mins

Total time: 45 mins

Serves: 16

Ingredients

1.25 lb. ground bison
½ c. celery, finely chopped
1 egg
4 slices bacon, fat trimmed and cut into small pieces
¾ c. almond meal
1 tbsp. fresh sage, chopped
½ tbsp. fresh thyme, chopped
½ tsp. black pepper
½ tsp. Pink Himalayan Salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Cover an oven-safe pan or baking dish with tinfoil and lightly brush with coconut
or olive oil.
In a large bowl place all ingredients except for the bacon; set aside.
In a small pan, lightly fry the bacon on low. You want the bacon to be nearly done, but not overly done, since it will still be baked. (Note: you do not need to fry the bacon in oil. Real bacon produces its own cooking grease.)
Add the bacon to complete mixture and mix by hand once bacon has cooled a little.
Form into mini meatballs. Place in your baking dish, and bake for about 30 minutes.
Once they have cooled a little, poke them with an appetizer pick and serve.

Notes

When I make these meatballs, I use the leftover almond meal “pulp” from my Vanilla-Mint Almond Milk recipe. You’ll notice in the video that there is a lot of leftover pulp, and I always choose to keep and freeze this pulp until I need it for recipes like this. You can also sub in hazelnut pulp or any other nut you might use to make homemade nut milk. Makes about 16 mini meatballs.

Xox,

Ready for this Lemon Garlic Basil Spaghetti Squash featuring Nutiva Organic Hemp today?

One of my most popular pins to date has been repinned almost 1,500 times.

It doesn’t involve chocolate, cake, peanut butter or ice cream (seriously, who are these people, right?!).

But it does involve fall and for that, I smile. Just let it be fall. All. Year. Long.

Fall is my favorite, so I decided to re-create the popular Lemon-Lime Cilantro Spaghetti Squash and superfood-it-up with hempseed oil and hemp seeds.

Both are a part of my new daily routine, and after Ryan loved the Hemp Kale Chips, I knew this recipe must be upgraded – stat!

8 facts you might not know about Hemp

But let’s all be honest here, no matter how good something is for us, if it doesn’t taste good, we are less likely to eat it.

You’re in luck.

Hemp is delicious!

I cannot make specific claims about anything, but as part of my Perioral Dermatitis healing, I did consume hemp internally and the hempseed oil externally on my face (whole blog post about the healing soon)! So, I’m just sayin’…..

When my mom was here visiting, I made her this meal and turned a new fan. She mentioned that upon returning back home to the homeskillet, she would be ordering hemp online. Good mama!

Now it’s your turn. Go, be, do, hemp, make.

Lemon-Garlic Basil Spaghetti Squash {featuring Nutiva Organic Hemp}

Author: Sarah Kay Hoffman

Recipe type: Main

Prep time: 10 mins

Cook time: 40 mins

Total time: 50 mins

Serves: 2-3

Ingredients

1 spaghetti squash (medium sized will cut best), cut lengthwise and then halved (4 total pieces) with seeds removed
2 small lemons
1 garlic clove, minced
1 Tbsp fresh basil leaves
4 Tbsp Nutiva Organic Hemp Oil (plus extra for baking)
sea salt, to taste
capers, to taste
Nutiva Organic Hemp Seed

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cover an oven safe pan with tin foil.
Prepare spaghetti squash.
Place spaghetti squash on tin foil and brush with hemp oil and lightly sprinkle with a little sea salt.
Bake spaghetti squash for about 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the juice of 2 small lemons, minced garlic clove, basil leaves and 4 tbsp. hemp oil in a small blender and blend. Set aside.
Remove spaghetti squash from oven and let it cool.
Once cooled, scrape out with a fork into a large bowl. Add the mixture from blender and mix together. Add sea salt, capers and hemp seed as desired.
Place your wild salmon over the bed of spaghetti squash and serve.

Notes

I always broil my wild salmon in the same way: broiled on low for about 8 minutes (for 1-2 small pieces). It's simple, quick and effective.
