Chop and sauté two white onions. Add two pounds ground turkey and cook until the meat is white. Once it is all cooked through, add 24 oz strained tomatoes, 2 tablespoons chili powder and 2 teaspoons salt. Let it simmer until the mixture looks thick.
Add to tortillas with shredded cheese and lettuce!
Everyone likes different veggies in my house. A quick healthy dish is quinoa with veggies and feta. I prepare a few different veggies and let everyone pick which ones they want. Last night I roasted eggplant and carrots, and cooked spinach. I cooked plain couscous, and then for each plate mixed together some couscous, feta and the preferred veggies. An easy, healthy and yummy dinner! In the photo is my dish which was spinach and eggplant.
Sliced eggplant dipped in a cheese/breadcrumb mix (1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1 cup parmesan cheese, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup almond milk), basked at 450 degrees for 23 minutes (flip after 15 min). Serve next to pasta with marinara!
I used pre-made pie crust. First I tossed the cut vegetables with 3 tablespoons olive oil, some salt and pepper and then baked them at 420 degrees for 20 minutes. Then in a medium bowl I mixed 4 eggs, 3/4 cup fat free milk, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. I put the roasted veggies in the pie crust, poured the egg mix over that, and then baked at 375 for 35 minutes. So yummy!
Drain two 14 oz containers of extra firm tofu, and then wrap in paper towels and press between two plates to dry out for 10 minutes. Cut into 1 inch blocks, lay onto parchment paper and bake at 400 for 25 minutes to dry out even more. Sautee in pan with 4 tablespoons sesame oil, 1/2 cup soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon maple syrup.
Cook broccoli and then mix in with the tofu.
Separately cook 2 packages of soba noodles according to the instructions (4 minutes in boiling water and then rinse with cold water and drain). Mix the soba noodles with 1/2 cup rice vinegar, 2/3 cup soy sauce, 4 tablespoons sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon maple syrup.
Mix everything together!
Even my kids who want to hate brussels sprouts love these! Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut brown ends off of the brussels sprouts and take off the yellowish outer layers. Rinse and then mix in a bowl with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Lay them out on top of pan covered with parchment paper and roast for 35 minutes. So yummy! This photo is of fresh organic brussels sprouts from our garden!
So easy to make homemade pesto! Mix 1/2 cup pine nuts, 3/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 2 cups tightly pressed basil in a food processor. Then mix in 1 cup of grated parmesan with the whole mix in a bowl with a spoon! This batch I made was from fresh basil from the garden! I used this as sauce for ravioli – Whole Foods has delicious pre-made spinach & ricotta ravioli that you warm up in boiling water for a few minutes. A quick and easy dinner that feels gourmet!

My friend dropped this cake off after I had hip surgery and the entire family loved it so I had to ask for the recipe. Here it is: https://smittenkitchen.com/2014/07/blueberry-crumb-cake/
I was nervous about making it, because I thought it would be complicated. But it actually was pretty easy to make!
