Eggplant & Blue Cheese Meatballs

Eggplant is one of those veggies that you either love, or you love to hate. I’ve heard it described as gummy, chewy, tasteless…much like tofu, in my opinion. And on that spongy soy note – it’s true, the texture of both eggplant and tofu can be tricky, the two tend to be exceptionally watery, and…

Chili Chicken Chickpea Cheddar Meatballs

What’s better than a little chili powder and cheddar cheese ~ mixed with some chicken and chickpeas ~ and then peppered with paprika? There are some things… but when you think about it, not many. It’s a little Latin, a little “Mexican,” just a little Middle Eastern, and a whole lotta’ good. It just is….

Recipe Revisit: Basil Ginger Meatballs

I originally created this recipe for Basil Ginger Meatballs nearly two years ago. While we often eat the same things over and over again ~ night after night of the “kitchen sink” staple (I know it doesn’t seem that way – the interwebs are all a silly illusion), it really was time to re-create this…

Spicy Cilantro Turkey Balls with Okra

  Fresh. Clean. And lean. That’s the name of the game. Cilantro and lime juice lend themselves to fresh and crisp flavors, almost always. Turkey is mean and lean and feels great in the body, after working up a sweat, powering up for the day, or just in general, of course. And the addition of…

Grass Fed Mini Meatballs and Minced “Rice”

For years and years I had a preference for protein choices outside of the red meat category. Boy has that changed. I’ve come to CRAVE red meat – daily. I can’t seem to get enough. Meatballs it is, on most days, for me.  Of course, I’ll take a lovely flatiron, hangar, sirloin, ribeye, or NY…

Cilantro Lime Meatballs with Fresh Guac

In my experience, most meatball recipes tend to exhibit either an Italian or Mediterranean flair. Great!  I’m all for it.  I love both cuisines. However, sometimes you crave something a little bit different.  And for me, it’s not just sometimes that avocados and cilantro are calling my name.  Thus, rather than ignore the beckoning of…

Basil Ginger Meatballs

I so love combining different types of flavors.  Being that both basil and ginger are amazingly aromatic and easily accessible, I find that pairing the two results in absolute satisfaction every time. Meatballs, of course, are always a favorite too… Basil Ginger Meatballs 2 lb. grass-fed beef 1/2 c. finely chopped fresh basil 3/4 tsp….

Awesome Ending Fridays

Ten bits of awesomeness that emerged from my life and my mind this week… 1.  Baby Boomers referring to things as “awesome.”  Hearing these words uttered by such a generation made me laugh and smile on multiple occasions this week. 2.  Seven year-old using the terms “old school” and “I’m so over that.”  Awesome. 3….
