Whole30 Dump Ranch

I LOVE THIS! If there is one big thing I have missed the most, it's ranch dressing. I'm loving that this is non-dairy and yet it's still so creamy. Feel free to mix up the herbs. I've used cilantro and parsley- both amazing.

• 1 large egg, room temperature (very important...just put in bowl of hot water for 5 mins)
• 1 cup LIGHT olive oil
• 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
• 1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro, parsley, and/or other herbs
• 2 Tbs. red wine vinegar
• 1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp. salt
• 3/4 tsp. onion powder
• 3/4 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper

In a blender (I use my magic bullet), combine all ingredients. Blend for 1 minute. Store in refrigerator for 1 week.

Paleo Meatballs

Although my favorite are still Grandma Powell's meatball recipe, when following a paleo diet, these are definitely a close second. I served with an organic marinara and zucchini noodles (or regular pasta for the kids).

• 2 lbs ground beef 
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup blanched almond flour
• 3/4 tsp fine grain sea salt 
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning blend**
• generous pinch crushed red pepper adjust for spice preference
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley - optional

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Shape into meatballs on a greased cookie sheet. Bake in oven on 400 for 22 mins.

The credit for this one goes out to my sister! Made this the other night and we all loved it! Made excellent leftovers too.
Serve with green beans and toasted almonds. Cauliflower rice would also be great with this too!

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs. chicken breast (cut in bite sized pieces)
• 1-2 Tbs. ghee
• 1/2 lemon
• Garlic powder to taste
• Salt to taste
• Coco aminos to taste
• 1 pkg. bean sprouts

Melt ghee in skillet. Add chicken to skillet and sprinkle garlic powder and salt to taste. Fry chicken in ghee until browned and cooked through. Add more ghee and add sprouts to skillet. Cook sprouts until slightly tender. Remove from heat and add coco aminos to taste.
