Good morning lovelies. What did you do this past weekend? We joined one of my best friends for her surprise dinner party and it was a success. Great food, wonderful company, and I can’t even begin to tell you how great it was to see her! My mom babysat Marli (thank you, mom!) so we were able to have date night. Such a lovely evening. Here’s what I wore. Are you guys on Instagram? If so, let’s connect!
So, as usual, the weekend ALWAYS flies by. Sunday is C-day: Church, Cooking, Cleaning, and Clothes-That-Need-A-Wash Day. We tidy up the house and prep for our week, which includes some yummy cooking. What’s your weekly dinner routine for healthy meals? Do you cook EVERY night or do you plan out your meals?

What’s your weekly dinner routine for healthy meals? Do you cook EVERY night or do you plan out your meals?
We don’t cook every night. Instead, I cook 80-90% of our meals on Sunday and we eat it for the rest of the week (until Thurs night). It’s efficient for us and helps us stay on track with eating healthy. Otherwise, we can easily compromise healthy choices for “convenient” choices, especially when you’re borderline HANGRY. Know what I mean? This is a recipe I have made time and time again – My Famous Turkey Meatballs – and you won’t believe how easy it is.
INGREDIENTS:
2 lbs. of lean ground turkey
1 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
1 bell pepper (finely chopped)
1 small onion (finely chopped)
3 egg whites
2 tsp black pepper
3 tsp salt
2 tsp dry yellow mustard
2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp thyme

3 egg whites
2 tsp black pepper
3 tsp salt
2 tsp dry yellow mustard
2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp thyme
Here’s the lowdown in 5 easy steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Spray muffin pan with canola or olive oil. Use the one that makes 12 muffins. They will come out in perfect portion sizes. Wipe off any excess oil around the rim so it won’t burn.
- Mix all your ingredients together in one large bowl like this.
- Roll the mixture into balls and place in muffin pan. Muffins will be a good size. Don’t worry about neatness. As you can see, mine look like blobs.
- Bake for 40 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and Voila! Yummy tasty protein in perfect portion sizes. I HIGHLY suggest you scoop the rims with a spoon because sometimes the turkey will stick. Transfer to a dish and serve.
I have eaten these alone, as sandwiches, with a bit of sauce (i.e. ketchup, bbq sauce, etc), and even as a dinner entree with some complex carbs and steamed veggies. Here’s to healthy eating. Enjoy!
Yum! Can’t wait to try this.

Let me know how it turns out and if you pair it with anything. 🙂

These look great and super easy to make. I bet it would taste good with some pasta and a drizzle of tomato sauce. Thanks for sharing and love your blog! {MLR}
Why thank you my dear. Pasta, huh? Yum oh yum. 🙂
-Linh
Look good! I like to add feta and spinach to my meatballs and pair with fresh stewed tomatoes and green beans. So yum!
That looks pretty healthy!
Healthy and tasty. Can’t wait to try this. Looking forward to seeing your workout update. I’m sure you’re doing great. You will probably motivate me to push harder. Ha!
