Directions

Baking meatballs instead of frying them saves time and clean-up. These can easily be added to low carb tomato sauce.

1. Heat oven to 375°In a skillet, over high heat, cook onion 5 minutes, until softened; add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a bowl and mix in ground meats, cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper. 2. Roll golf ball-size meatballs; arrange on a jelly roll pan. Bake 20-25 minutes, until browned and cooked through.

Cauliflower with Red Pepper and Black Olives:

Not only do red peppers add color and flavor, they provide a dose of beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant.

1. Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook cauliflower 6-7 minutes until tender but firm. While cauliflower is cooking, cut red pepper into thin strips. 2. Drain cauliflower. Mix in red peppers, olives, olive oil and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
