Paleo meatballs
Ingredient list
-1 clove garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
-1/2 tablespoon salt
-1 tablespoon caraway seeds
-1 teaspoon ground paprika
-1 tablespoon ground black pepper
-1 cup fresh parsley leaves, minced (about 1/4 cup)
-1 tablespoon grainy mustard
-2 pounds ground pork
Instructions
1. Mix all ingredients together until well blended and form into meatballs. I made them fairly-large – about 9 per pound of meat. (mostly because I get bored rolling meatballs. You could also make these burgers, but balls are more fun. [Heh. I said ‘balls are more fun.’]) (For details on the science of mixing meatballs, read this.)
2. On the grill: Heat grill to high, then cook meatballs five minutes with lid closed, flip, and cook an additional five minutes, until nicely browned.
In the oven: Preheat oven to 400F and cook 20 minutes or so.
On the stovetop: Brown in a hot saute pan, then cover with a lid and reduce heat to medium-low until cooked through.

Chicken Marsala
Ingredient list
4 cups bowtie pasta
vegetable oil for cooking
2 chicken breasts
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp. garlic salt
1/2 cup onion chopped (optional)
1/2 cup red bell pepper chopped (optional)
1 cup marsala cooking wine
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup sun-ripened dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, cut chicken breasts into 1/2″-1″ cubes. Add cut chicken, flour, parmesan cheese, and garlic salt to a gallon sized ziplock bag. Shake to coat chicken. Add a small amount of vegetable oil to a skillet. Brown the chicken in skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet, cooking until chicken is cooked throughout and vegetables are crisp tender. Pour marsala cooking wine into a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Allow wine to simmer for 5 minutes. Add heavy cream and sun-dried tomatoes to the saucepan and continue simmering for 5 more minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked noodles, chicken (and vegetables), and creamy marsala sauce. Stir to coat noodles. The mixture will be pretty liquidy. Pour everything into a 9×13″ dish. Top with shredded mozzarella. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
