You don’t need breadcrumbs to make perfect meatballs. These are everything I want homemade meatballs to be: tender, juicy, rich, and packed with flavor. The best part? They’re completely flour-free and breadcrumb-free, so you get all the texture without the extra fillers. After baking, I let them simmer in marinara for a few more minutes so they soak up even more flavor before finishing them with freshly grated Parmesan and fresh parsley. This is one of those recipes that feels comforting enough for Sunday dinner, but simple enough to make any night of the week. The full recipe is below. Save this one for your next cozy dinner. 🤍 Flour-Free High-Protein Meatballs Ingredients • 2 lbs grass-fed ground beef • 1 large egg • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan • 4 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tbsp + 1 tsp jarred minced garlic) • ½ yellow onion, finely grated • 1 tsp onion powder • ½ tsp garlic powder • 1 tsp Italian seasoning • 1 tsp sea salt • ½ tsp black pepper • Optional: 2–3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley Sauce • 2 (31 oz) jars marinara sauce • Freshly grated Parmesan, for serving • Fresh parsley, for garnish Directions 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. 2. Combine all meatball ingredients until just mixed. 3. Roll into 18 meatballs and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 4. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. 5. Warm the marinara over medium heat until gently simmering. 6. Add the baked meatballs and simmer for 10–15 minutes. 7. Finish with fresh Parmesan and parsley before serving. #Meatballs #HighProteinRecipes #GlutenFreeRecipes #HealthyDinner #EasyRecipes taken in Beverly Hills, California by @ashleylmclaughlin

I never thought I’d be caramelizing peaches in beef tallow until I tried it. 🍑✨ Instead of butter or oil, I used @kettleandfire 100% grass fed and grass finished beef tallow. Made with just one ingredient and a high smoke point, it’s perfect for caramelizing peaches until they’re beautifully golden. Caramelized Peach Yogurt Bowl Ingredients 🍑 3 ripe peaches, sliced 🥄 1 tbsp Kettle & Fire Beef Tallow 🍁 1 tsp maple syrup, optional ✨ ½ tsp vanilla extract 🤎 ½ tsp cinnamon, plus more for finishing 🧂 Pinch of sea salt 🥣 2 cups plain Greek yogurt 🎃 2 to 3 tbsp pumpkin seeds 🍋 Fresh lemon zest Directions 1. Melt the beef tallow over medium heat. 2. Add the peaches, cinnamon, and sea salt. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender. 3. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. If your peaches need a little extra sweetness, stir in the maple syrup while they’re still warm. 4. Spoon the yogurt into a bowl. Top with the warm peaches, pumpkin seeds, a fresh sprinkle of cinnamon, and finish with lemon zest. The lemon zest and cinnamon at the end bring everything together. Save this recipe for later, and you’ll find the full recipe in the caption. 🤍 #KettleAndFire #BeefTallow #SummerBreakfast #BreakfastIdeas #RecipeReel taken in Beverly Hills, California by @ashleylmclaughlin
