These are easy to make and really yummy. You can substitute beef for ground turkey, or ground chicken, or a combination of your favorite meats.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
2 eggs
1 cup gluten free breadcrumbs (I use Schar)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp chopped garlic
1 tsp dried parsley
1.5 Tbsp dried minced onion
salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Mix eggs, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley and onion. Add a little salt and pepper. Add beef and mix until combined. Form 2 inch meatballs, gently- you do not want to press hard, you want them to be light and airy, rather than perfectly formed balls. Bake on a tin foil lined cookie sheet for 23 minutes (or until you see the edges begin to crisp and brown).
*If you have a stand mixer, you can use the paddle attachment to mix the ingredients. I have one, but am too lazy to take it out, so I do this all by hand and I actually stick my hands into the meat to mix everything evenly. It really doesn't take very long, either way.
These are a favorite in my house. Serve with your favorite sauce, over pasta, and enjoy.

Grilled Chicken Parmesan
Who needs all the extra calories from frying when you can grill and it is just as good?
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts cut in half (8 total)
3/4 cup gluten free breadcrumbs (you will want to add in Italian seasoning)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp butter, melted (I use I Can't Believe It's Not Butter)
1 cup marinara sauce
cooking spray
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450°. Spray a large baking sheet lightly with spray. Combine breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese in a bowl. Melt the butter in another bowl. Lightly brush the butter onto the chicken, then dip into breadcrumb mixture. Place on baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken. Cook the chicken for 20 minutes, then turn over and cook for an additional 5.
Once cooked through, add a spoonful of marinara sauce and a little bit of mozzarella cheese and bake until cheese is melted and bubbly.
This was a big, tasty hit with the family. Serve with pasta or grilled veggies and enjoy.

Actifry Potatoes
Everything with the Actifry is so simple, and this is no exception on ease and yumminess!
Ingredients:
Canned white potatoes (for a family of 5, I used 3 cans of potatoes)
Dill weed to taste
Paprika to taste
Italian seasoning to taste
1 Actifry scoop of olive oil
Directions:
Drain the potatoes of any excess liquid. If they are whole, slice them in half, or into quarters (the thinner they are sliced, the crispier they will be). Sprinkle spices over the potatoes. Drizzle the oil on top. Cook for 30 minutes or until adequately golden brown.

Crockpot Honey Balsamic Chicken
I took this recipe from SkinnyTaste and switched out the pork for some nice thick chicken breasts and it came out delicious!
Ingredients:
2 pounds (or 4 thick) chicken breasts
kosher salt, to taste
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/3 cup chicken or vegetable broth (I used chicken)
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp honey
Directions:
Season the chicken with salt, garlic powder and red pepper flakes and place it into the slow cooker. Mix together the broth, Worcestershire and vinegar and pour it over the chicken, then pour the honey over and set the timer for 4 hours on High or 6-8 hours on Low. (If you are using frozen breasts, try 2 hours on high and an additional 4 on low).
