Hot Italian Sausage Meatballs

May 25, 2016 by Kristin

I’m typically a turkey meatball {with a ton of added veggies} gal. But zucchini noodles topped with zucchini-filled meatballs seemed like, well, entirely too much zucchini. So that’s when I got to thinking..

Aren’t traditional meatballs made with ground pork? And aren’t I the hugest fan of hot Italian sausage? And that’s how these hot Italian sausage meatballs came to be.

These spicy and flavorful meatballs are filled with the good stuff like onions and fresh parsley. And with no gluten-ous fillers, they’re the perfect topper for a gluten-free zucchini noodle dinner.

Ceviche de Lenguado {Homemade}

July 12, 2015 by Kristin

I found it, the summer 2015 must-have-in-my-fridge food. Ceviche. Peruvian, ceviche de lenguado, with a splash of coconut milk, to be exact. Having a bowl of chilled, citrusy seafood waiting for you after a few hours in the sun is.. a dream. And being that ceviche is on the simpler side of dishes to make, it’s a dream that can be realized quite easily.

While hunting for recipes, I had a particular ceviche in mind from a teeny, tiny Peruvian restaurant I went to while visiting my friend, Kristin, in Ft. Myers, Florida. Shockingly, the only ceviche de lenguado recipes I could find were in Spanish and didn’t include coconut milk. But I finally stumbled upon this ceviche recipe that helped me to the finish line.

Avocado Cream for Quesadillas

March 27, 2014 by Kristin

It’s been quite some time since I’ve done the quesadilla thing. The beany, cheesy, spinachy quesadilla thing that makes me all sorts of happy.

And tonight, the quesadilla thing got even better because I didn’t go for a typical dollop of sour cream. And maybe it’s because I couldn’t {for the life of me} find the sour cream at Whole Foods. So I headed to the Greek yogurt area, grabbed a small 2% plain, and headed to the produce department.

It was there I found the tiniest, ripest avocado that I would later season and whip with yogurt to make my new favorite thing to dollop.
