Day 26: Spice of life.

Naked food is not bland. I have come to really enjoy a salad without dressing. Fresh greens are just delicious! I'm really enjoying arugula. I used to pick it out of my salads. Turns out it was the flavor of the arugula with ranch I didn't like.

I've pretty much disposed of salt. I rarely use it anymore. I'm playing with other spices instead. I have a couple of rubs and herb combos from The Spice House ( http://www.thespicehouse.com/. ) in Milwaukee. Last night I made some meatballs with one of the rubs. They were delightful. They were flavorful and moist and I was content with only 4 of them along with a cup of brown Jasmine rice and a naked salad.

Meatballs

1 lb grass finished organic beef (grass finished beef is feed grass their entire lives, right up to slaughter)
1/3 cup whole wheat focaccia bread crumbs. The recipe is here on day 20.
1 organic egg
1 tsp. Galena Street Rub

Mix together well and form into 20 meatballs. Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes. Makes up to 5 servings.

The beef costs about $7 a lb. but it can make 5 servings. How reasonable is that??
