About Me

My photo
Like most people, I love to eat. I love to cook. And as of a year ago on Dec. 26th...I love to do it all in a healthy way. I'm living proof that all you have to do is change minor things in your life and you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. In one year, I changed how I ate (portion control), what I ate (not a lot of fried food, more veggies, less alcohol and sugars) and added a little exercise in my life (3-4 days a week for 30-45 minutes). And at the end I am 52 lbs lighter :) That was 3 years ago… and I've kept the weight off. These recipes have helped me keep it off and are easily adaptable for any and all diets. Just use a little imagination and let your stomach guide you :)

It's Raining Meatballs!


Ok, it wasn't raining when I made them, but it did start later that night...and these are good for comfort food :)

What you need:

1. 1 lb ground meat
2. 1 egg
3. 1/4 cup milk
4. 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
5. 1 teaspoon oregano
6. 1 teaspoon onion powder
7. 1 teaspoon garlic powder
8. salt and pepper to taste

What you do:

1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl
2. Roll out 1 1/2 inch size balls and place on roaster pan (I like it better because the grease drains away)
3. Make a decision:
            A. bake in oven at 350* for 35-45 minutes (after finished, plate with marinara sauce)
            B. cook in crock pot with marinara sauce on low for 6 hours

Serve with pasta, broccoli and cheese, or eat on a sandwich. (These are great grilled too!)


*These are pretty healthy on their own, just watch what you serve them with and how much salt you add to them. Instead of beef you can use turkey too!*
