Christmas Minis

Mini Christmas Cupcakes
 
These are so cute and fun to make for the holidays.
 And you don't feel overstuffed eating one.
Bite size mouth full of goodness.
I buy these little cups at Michaels.
Wilton makes them. I make a little
snip with scissors
on the side of the cup prior to filling.
It makes the cake easier to get out of the wrapper.
 I have seen people just squeezing the bottom
 of the cup to get them out as well.
 
Place on baking sheet. Spray with non-stick spray and
 fill 2/3 full. Bake approx. 15 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
Make sure they are done in the middle.
Be creative for the season.
They really are a lot of fun.
Here I topped with Andes crushed white chocolate/peppermint
 candy with chocolate cupcakes!

Paleo Spinach & Arugula Meatballs

 I made these today for a quick lunch and it turns out
 everyone in the family loved them. We just snacked
 on them all afternoon. It was a recipe I got from Stupid Easy Paleo. I follow on
 Facebook and Instagram.
 I suggest
you follow because
I really think her
stuff is easy and really great.
This is
 a modified version of her meatballs.
 
 
The recipe calls for these ingredients:
 2 pounds of ground meat ( I used pork and beef)
2 medium onions chopped
1 cup of  fresh spinach and arugula chopped
2 tablespoons of minced garlic
2 tsp. salt
pepper to taste
coconut oil

Cook onion in coconut oil until tender.
Add all ingredients to meat.
Blend well with your hands...it's the only way.
Make 2 inch meatballs. Place on foil lined baking sheet.
 Place in 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Done!

Paleo Banana Pancakes with Fresh Berry Sauce {Easy}

Paleo Banana Pancakes
 
2 bananas
3 eggs
4 heaping tablespoons coconut flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
pinch of salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon
 
You will need a blender or food processor.
 I used my NINJA {love}
Blend bananas first, add eggs and blend.
Then add other ingredients and blend well.
In a warm skillet with coconut oil
 add a heaping spoonful of batter.
Cook until bubbly around edges.
Don't keep your pan too hot because
these will burn quick. {did it}
Flip when ready.
I had some frozen berries in the freezer
 that I placed in a sauce
 pan and simmered
 over medium heat. Add a little bit of water.
Reduce heat and mash. It makes a
 perfect "syrup" to put over pancakes.
No added sugar. Yum!
