Last night, I picked up ground turkey from the gourmet market on my corner and I couldn’t resist creating a tasty dinner with it…I debated a turkey loaf, turkey mini loaves and turkey balls. Well, the balls won out and they were amazing.
I crushed a handful of gluten-free pretzels for a unique texture to these balls…I also opted for a touch of sweetness by incorporating the sherry, agave nectar, stevia and dried cranberries. These turkey balls were a perfect dinner served atop a bed of sauteed vegetables and Greek yogurt dipping sauce. The best part? I made just enough to bring the leftovers for my lunch tomorrow…
My philosophy: Cook once, eat twice…can’t beat it!

After a relaxing weekend at my parents home by the shore, I arrived home late last night to my tiny Manhattan apartment to find three perfectly ripe pears on my counter top and a half full bottle of POM Wonderful in my fridge…Needless to say, I was yearning for a bit of sweetness and I created this fabulous Pommy Pear Treat. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did..it surely is a ‘tasty treat.’

Last night, I had a bit of time on my hands and decided to once again get creative in my kitchen. I recently purchased a few beautiful squash blossoms and I was yearning for a guacamole to have in my fridge for the weekend, therefore I decided to make the best of my blossoms and whip up a tasty guac with a pinch of saffron and chili powder to add a nice kick. The end result: Delishhhy. Let’s just say there isn’t much left as I was tasting it all night long…

Last night while walking home from work, I passed not one but two Crumbs Bakery’s, which are famous for their cupcakes…one glance into the adorable bakery is all it took for me to scurry home and bake these tasty gluten-free red velvet muffins…I opted for a pinch of coconut and a handful of pistachios to add a sweet n’ crunchy kick. These babies are made with roasted beets for an all-natural rich, red velvet hue.

Last night, I created a deliciously simple sweet potato and almond soup that warmed me up after my chilly walk home. Let’s just say that it hit the spot and paired perfectly with a side of grilled vegetables and tofu smothered with organic tomato sauce and sprinkled with nutritional yeast…delicious is an understatement.
Dig in, this is a tasty protein-packed soup with a nice dose of beta carotene that is sure to fill you up (and warm you up) on a chilly March evening.
