Have you switched to a Paleo diet, but your friends and family think you’re a little crazy? Well, get ready, because this is the recipe that is about to win them over. These Paleo Meatballs are not only meaty, juicy and satisfying, but they are also full of good-for-you ingredients like sweet potatoes! I’d venture to guess that you’ve never tried sweet potatoes in your meatballs before, but after you try this great Paleo Meatballs recipe, you won’t go back!

A lot of people think that eating a special diet like Paleo is too restrictive, but that simply isn’t the case. There are TONS of fantastic healthy recipes out there no matter what kind of special diet you are on. Just consider this Blueberry Smoothie recipe or this collection of quick and easy vegetable recipes, for example. If you think healthy food has to be boring, bland or gross–you definitely haven’t looked hard enough! One bite of these Paleo Meatballs and you’ll wonder why you don’t eat healthier more often! (Or if you do, you’ll know why!)

Plus, the good thing about these Paleo Sweet Potato Meatballs is that they really aren’t expensive. You probably have most of the ingredients in your fridge or pantry already, and those that you don’t have can easily be substituted for other things if need be (you might switch out avocado oil for olive oil, for example). It really is possible to eat healthy on a budget, and this Paleo Sweet Potato Meatballs recipe is a great way to do so!

When it comes to cooking, one of my favorite things to make is a good casserole. I love how easy they are to throw together, and I love how you can prepare them ahead of time and then just stick them in the oven when you are ready. This really helps me find the time to cook when it is convenient for me, and I make casseroles a lot for this reason.

Sometimes I want something a little different than the usual casserole taste, however, and this recipe for Chicken Enchilada Casserole fits the bill perfectly. It’s got all the delicious flavors of my favorite Roasted Red Pepper and Chipotle Quesadilla recipe, but it’s a little more convenient to make because I can make it ahead of time, like I can with this Mexican Chicken in the Crockpot recipe.

Another thing I love about this Chicken Enchilada Casserole recipe is all the great ingredients! It has tons of yummy add-ins that my family loves, and I love how many good-for-you veggies you can squeeze into this one casserole! From peppers to onions to olives to jalapenos to corn–this recipe’s got it all! The way that the ingredients come together in this yummy casserole is truly phenomenal.

The next time you’ve got a busy day and you’re hungry for something a little different, why not give this recipe for Chicken Enchilada Casserole a try? It might just be your family’s new favorite!

I love a dinner made from just a few simple ingredients that can be tossed in the crock pot in 5 minutes!  This crock pot chicken and noodles is one of those easy recipes.

Toss everything in except noodles in the morning, then add them when its almost ready before serving.  Add a green veggie and you will be sitting down to a hot, hearty, delicious and filling meal within 45 minutes of walking in the door!
