Kung Pao Meatballs

After my very sweet series of posts last week (Almond Blondies, Brown Sugar Blueberry Polenta Scones, Mini Peach Crumble Pies, I thought it would be a good idea to make some savoury food now. I’m starting this week off with some meatballs! These are made with ground chicken (super lean and healthier than ground beef)…

Lentil & Turkey Meatballs

Do you ever have leftover food in the fridge and want to use it up in a creative way? That was how I felt yesterday. I had cooked a whole bunch of lentils and I used about half of them to make a delicious lentil bolognese sauce. But I still had a few cups of…

Recipe #20: Apricot, Sriracha & Ginger Glazed Meatballs

The Greek salad was tomato, red pepper, kalamata olives and feta cheese with a simple dressing – red wine vinegar, honey, salt, pepper, oregano….

Asian Meatballs

I’m just gonna start off by saying that I did not make the meatballs in that picture, that is the picture from the original Gimme Some Oven recipe (http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/saucy-asian-meatballs/). I did make this recipe tonight though, and mine looked similar, I just didn’t have the green onions or sesame seeds. So I wasn’t thinking and…
