Day 13

Thank goodness it's Friday.
This week has been so busy, finding time to cook was nearly impossible.

But, I managed to channel my inner-chef to whip out a quick dinner this evening.

After work, I had about 40 minutes to freshen up, change, and make dinner happen before heading to the church's youth group bowling night.

I hadn't really cooked all week and I really didn't want just eggs again.
I decided on meatballs using a package of ground turkey.

Mix 1 lb of ground turkey, 1/2 cup of almond meal/flour, 2 eggs (probably could have gotten away with one), about 1/2 cup of fresh parsley, garlic, minced onion, and pepper.

Roll into balls and toss in a pan.



I made mine pretty small so they would cook quickly.
Meanwhile, I defrosted a container of tomato sauce.

I raced to get ready - running back and forth between my room and the kitchen.
Finally ready to go and meatballs fully cooked, I tossed a few in a bowl with tomato sauce.

A Lara bar on the road to the bowling alley kept me feeling full throughout bowling and being surrounded by cheese fries, pizza, and candy.

This week was a little more difficult - not with wanting to make good choices, but with being able to create well rounded meals with limited time.
I'm really looking forward to hitting the grocery store and having a more solid menu and plan for next week.

Let's consider Day 13 a TGIF moment.
