Tonight's dinner experiment

Dinner has become somewhat of an experiment for me and Joshua.

Recently at CrossFit someone passed around a sign-up to buy in for a side of bison meat. Joshua has wanted to try bison for a long time, so we joined in the purchase. Tonight we have attempted to make spaghetti and meatballs-- paleo-style.

Spaghetti, easy. Remember spaghetti squash? The hardest part of that is slicing the darn thing in half.

Spaghetti sauce from Earth Fare-- all-natural and yummy.

Bison balls.

Well...

How would you make meatballs when you cannot include breadcrumbs or milk?

We decided to substitute coconut milk for the regular milk, easy enough. Breadcrumbs are kind of an essential part of meatball making, though. They help hold everything together, you know? We figured that we would use the pulp from our juicer that is just going to waste. So tonight we juiced some kale, pineapple, pear, blueberries, mango, and apple (delightfully delicious GREEN juice!) and salvaged the pulp to put in the meatball mix.

The guy arranging the bison purchase recommended that we not overcook the bison meat. He says that it has a tendency to dry out easily. Since our meatballs are rather soupy anyway, we're disregarding his advice in this instance.

I'll let you know how it turns out tomorrow. I'm off to make some paleo butternut bisque soup.
