March 8, 2015Bison or Buffalo: Which is which?
April 16, 2015Yum
Time for our next Sunday Dinner recipe. While we’re partial to all our recipes, these Homestyle Bison Meatballs are one of our go-to favorites. They’re so easy and simple to prepare. But the real beauty of these paleo-friendly bison meatballs is that there are so many ways to serve them. Throw them on top of some zoodles (zucchini noodles) to satisfy a spaghetti & meatballs craving, have them with a side of eggs for a power breakfast or crumble them on a salad for a hearty but lean lunch. Honestly, there is no end to the options. Which is why we ALWAYS double (or triple) the recipe so that we’ve got extras for the week ahead. They also freeze great!

1 lb ground grassfed bison (Get some real quick here!)
