PIZZA MEATBALLS

Since changing my mindset on food and living the Paleo lifestyle, I have come to realize that I can still enjoy a fun Friday night meal in a much healthier way. Pizza is one of those comfort foods that I crave on a regular basis, but instead of indulging in a greasy slice of pizza, I decided to create an easy, flavorful and delicious pizza meatball recipe.  Not only are these heavenly, but they are also Whole30, Keto and Paleo complaint along with being gluten and dairy free.
