eggplant and turkey stacks

This recipe for eggplant and turkey stacks is much easier that it looks at first glance. Plan to make this 1 hour before you want to eat as the sauce needs an hour to simmer. The actual work and prep that needs to be done is minimal compared to the time waiting for it to simmer or bake.

This is a delicious option for dinner as it is very filling and a great use of eggplants from your garden or farmers market.

asian turkey meatballs with lime sesame dipping sauce

The original recipe for Asian Turkey Meatballs comes from Gina Homolka's blog skinnytaste which has amazing, healthy, easy recipes and I highly recommend checking out her blog or cookbook The Skinnytaste Cookbook.

This recipe is great for getting dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes. It's easy to make, tasty and goes well with zucchini noodles.

south of the border loaded sweet potato

I saw this recipe for South of the Border Loaded Sweet Potatoes while watching an episode of The Biggest Loser and found that it's a great meal to make when you are short on time. It's filling, requires only a few ingredients, and you can serve it with some steamed veggies or a side salad and have dinner ready in 15 minutes.

elvis burger

I want to use amazing words to describe this Elvis burger but I'm failing to find the perfect description. You would think that by looking at the ingredients it's going to be weird and I even asked my husband how adventurous he felt before I assembled his burger but you just have to go for it. You will enjoy a sweet taste from the plantains and almond butter, a salty - crunchy taste from the bacon and a plump turkey burger on top of lettuce to bring it all together. My mouth is watering just thinking about how good this is. If I had one day to live and was preparing my last meal - this would definitely be in the running.

mexican turkey burgers

I saw this recipe on an episode of Biggest Loser and thought it was a great twist on a way to make a plain turkey burger more exciting. This recipe has been a repeat in my house because it's tasty and easy to make. I prefer to eat mine without cheese but it's a great addition if you'd like. Make sure to dice everything up small so the pieces stay in your burger and don't fall out while cooking.

Top them with salsa, avocado, yogurt & a bun & dinner's ready!

spaghetti & meatballs

You might start to notice a theme that I eat mostly Paleo as that is my personal preference but by all means if you have different restrictions or are just craving some actual pasta then swap it out.

I prefer to avoid sugar and while this tomato sauce will take longer then just grabbing a jar of pre-made sauce, it sure does make me feel better not having all the extra's added in. If you are short on time, look for a sauce brand with no added sugar.

pizza spaghetti pie

I came across this recipe for "pizza" and gave it a shot. I love pizza but I usually end up tired, eating more slices than I should and feeling guilty about how much I ate. I am also trying to stay away from cheese and this is cheese free!

This recipe is easy to make and I usually double it up so my husband and I are set for 4 dinners.

I think it tastes super duper yummy, so I'm passing it on to you!

Hope you enjoy!
