So I went out and bought a can of coconut milk yesterday and had it straight. Mind you, when you open the can, the milk is in solid form so you have to stir it up to create some heat so that it becomes a little liquidity. It's more of a paste.

I didn't know what to expect from it as it really looks chalky and thick but I went for it and to my amazement, I enjoyed it thoroughly. It was really creamy and yummy. It is a great source of fat too. About 11 to 14 grams per serving depending on which brand you purchase. I bought some this morning for work and this brand was A Taste of Thai which I got from Baker's. Yesterday's purchase was from Hy-Vee and it was Thai Kitchen brand. A Taste of Thai states it contains 11 g per serving and Thai Kitchen says 14 g per serving. Either way, both really good.

I am excited to find another source for fat besides almonds, avocados, and olive oil. Plus, I can drink it. How cool is that? Anyways, you may or may not like it but I would give it a try. If you like it and figure to buy more and come across a bigger can than the regular 13.5oz cans please let me know.

If you haven't already noticed, I have added about 5 new websites to the blog. The "My Paleo Kitchen" website is really cool and has a lot of recipes from a young woman who has been eating this way for quite some time. Very down to earth and easy to follow. Be sure to pay these new sites a visit.

Here is a recipe for Meatballs that I think will be delicious. I got them from CrossFit Football. Here you go my friends:

Meatballs:
4 pounds of grass-fed ground beef
Chopped organic celery and onions (organic optional)
5 whole omega-3 eggs
1 cup of almond meal (this stuff is good)
Dried oregano, sea salt, cracked black pepper, cayenne pepper

Directions:
Mix all the above into a bowl and use hands to form large meatballs.
You can either pan fry them or put them into a pyrex and bake them single layered at 350 for 20 minutes. You may also use a crock pot.

For sauce (optional):
1 - 160z can of organic diced tomatoes
1 can of organic tomato paste
Large handful of fresh organic basil
Chopped garlic cloves (if they don't bother you)
Pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper

Mix into bowl

Finish:
If cooking by pan. Pour sauce of meatballs once they are completely cooked and out of the pan. If you are baking them or in a crock pot, as they are cooking, pour sauce over meat and cook till done.
