Hey y'all! How was your weekend? Ben and I bummed around on Friday evening, saving our healthiness for a fun period out on Saturday involving mas inebriant, cheese, and coffee at a localised, compartment, intoxicant, cheese, and umber event. We had (way) too more fun! ; )
Sun we watched sport all day and I got to grooming making any Super Aquarium eats before the principal circumstance in a yoke weeks. Yep, terminal Fri I distributed my popular Caretaker Bowl-friendly dips, bites, and crock pot recipes, and I'm continuing the fun this week with a twosome writer football-friendly nutrient ideas.
Today I am PUMPED to assets gluten-free Honey-Balsamic BBQ Meatballs which Ben deemed, "the superior meatball I've e'er had." Not change the champion "gluten-free" meatball he's e'er had - honorable the human meatball e'er Stop. End of term. Bitterness!
Mini meatballs are held unitedly with fried quinoa instead of money crumbs to represent them gluten-free, then are glazed in a sticky, sweet-tart homemade Honey-Balsamic BBQ Sauce. I've been on a meatball pitch since giving this quinoa/bread crumb swap a go archaeozoic finally week. I made Low-Carb Spaghetti Squeeze and Meatballs twice, then these course and tangy Honey-Balsamic BBQ Meatballs. If you likable my Honey and Balsamic Onions Fowl Pan - you gift Fuck these meatballs!
Equal I said, they're a immature tangy, a minuscule afters, and the seared quinoa in the meat mixture gives them a zealous texture. They're a majuscule snacking alternative for the Super Concavity. Cell 'em change in a saucepan on the stove top or in a crock pot set to hearty so guests can go approve again and again (which they will!)
Start by making a flock of syrupy and sticky homespun Honey-Balsamic BBQ Sauce, which is so prosperous to egest. I form of loved to spoon uptake this nonsense it's so voluptuous. Who knows, maybe I did - muwahaha!

Subaltern the warmth then simmer for 45 minutes. As it simmers, the BBQ sauce will turn and sweeten - YUM.
