Beyond Meat Meatballs with Marinara
These are my new favorite meatballs! So easy to make and incredibly tasty! I have a “don’t knock it until you try it” mentality when it comes to plant-based food. A lot of it sounds weird but ends up being a winner in my house, so if you are willing to try something new, please give these meatballs a try. They are tender and juicy, packed with flavor, and come together in about 30 minutes. You can use either the Impossible or Beyond Meat brand, I’m just partial to Beyond Meat. They do have slightly different textures and tastes but when you combine them with the rest of the ingredients you probably won’t tell a difference. The recipe can be found here. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Start by combining the breadcrumbs and almond milk in a small bowl then … Continue reading

Enchilada Meatballs
Enchilada Meatballs are my new favorite creation 😊 They taste just like the real thing and have amazing Tex-Mex flavor. They are tender, juicy meatballs made from ground beef, ground turkey, or ground chicken (you pick), topped with a mild enchilada sauce, beans, corn, and plenty of melted cheese. Super yummy and super customizable. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F, then prepare all ingredients: mince the garlic, chop the cilantro, onion, and jalapeno, drain, and rinse the black beans, and drain the corn. Set all aside until ready to use. Add the ground meat (beef, turkey, or chicken) to a mixing bowl, along with the breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. I like to use my hands to really mix everything together. I find it works better than a spoon but do what you prefer. Then use a cookie scoop (or your … Continue reading

Lettuce wraps are one of my favorite go-to recipes for a hot summer day. They are light and packed with fresh flavors, leaving you satisfied without being overly full. I want to share my recipe for Asian Chicken Meatball Lettuce Wraps with Mango & Coleslaw with you today. The nice thing about this recipe is it’s really 2 recipes in one. You can eat the Asian Chicken Meatballs as is or turn them into delicious lettuce wraps. My preference is to create lettuce wraps but the meatballs pair well with rice or steamed vegetables if you are looking for something more comforting during cooler months of the year. The Asian Chicken Meatballs are tender and saucy, the coleslaw is packed with vegetables and offers a nice crunch in each bite, the mango adds a bit of sweetness, and the lettuce acts as a vessel to hold it all together.

Luck of the Irish
St Patrick’s Day is fast approaching. Do you have plans to celebrate? I’m admittedly well past the years of bar hopping downtown to drink some mediocre green beer in an overcrowded bar…. I tend to opt for a more homebound celebration that involves some good food, maybe a cocktail or 2, and allows me to be in my jammies by 8pm 6pm 😊 This year, we are going to make the following recipes for our St Patrick’s Day dinner: Pot of Gold Mimosa Irish Soda Muffins Guinness Glazed Meatballs Irish Cream Brownies The Pot of Gold Mimosa is an elevated mimosa to be St Patrick’s Day themed. This is a cocktail I like to enjoy while making dinner as well as during dinner. It’s very light and refreshing. The recipe can be found here.

Menacing Meals
Halloween is fast approaching – are you ready? We sure are. Halloween is a month-long celebration at our house. We decorate early, spend 31 days gorging on candy, watch every Halloween movie possible, and make some fun themed treats to enjoy. I want to share with you some of my new Halloween recipes and ideas for this year. Each is fairly customizable and will be sure to put your friends and family in a mood to celebrate. My first Halloween idea is for a Char-Spookery board. This is a traditional charcuterie board but with a spooky flair. To be called a charcuterie board, it must contain meat. Otherwise, it’s just a plain old board. What I like about charcuterie boards is how easy they are to put together and how customizable they are. Choose 2-3 meats, 3-4 cheeses, some fruit, nuts, olives, and maybe a few pieces of chocolate, and … Continue reading
