I will probably continue this over on Tumblr for the month of March, but I have been pretty bad at it over here. I'll try to come up with a creative way to combine the month's photos and post in a collage over here. Anyway. Here's the last two days of February - the useless change in my desk drawer, and the Bonnaroo playlist on Spotify that I can't stop listening to.
So we've noted in the past my aversion to ground beef.
But, the more into cooking I get, the less inclined I seem to be to murmur "ewww," in the grocery store whilst selecting ground sirloin.
Nonetheless, I still prefer ground turkey in some dishes. And while I certainly cannot boast the healthiest of lifestyles, I do tend to eat in a somewhat balanced fashion during the week (until Friday afternoon, usually, when I deem approximately fourteen beers between 3PM and midnight my "dinner"). These made for a delicious dinner, and a great light lunch stuffed in a pita with greens the following day.
I've always loved turkey meatballs, and I usually like to add some sort of crumbled cheese and veggies of some persuasion (chopped spinach is always a good call). These, I constructed from lean ground turkey and diced bell peppers, and stuffed with feta cheese in the center. Served with some dill-yogurt sauce and cous cous, they were met with rave reviews.
I’m not sure how any of you made it through the weekend without knowing that my medicine chest holds contact lenses, Chaser pills (do not work all that well. Or perhaps I drink more than any little pill could cure?) and a bunch of random cold medicine and tablets without original packaging in a Tiffany box. You were really dying for this, huh?
I’ll have the recipe involving said Dill up soon, don’t you worry.
And no, that’s not my jalopy with the fancy GPS gypsy machine in the dash.
1 t mayo (my mom always used mayo instead of butter inside grilled cheese when we were kids. This was usually met with a skeptical eye among friends, but it's really so delicious and makes for a much creamier grilled cheese. Apparently the trend is catching on across the interwebs as well! It is also worth noting that I generally do not like mayonnaise and never get it on sandwiches when I have a choice. So. Even if you’re averse. Give it a go.)
2-3 slices cooked bacon
3 slices tomato
Several thin slices fresh jalapeno
1/2 cheddar, 1/2 jack cheese
Assemble accordingly, you know what to do.
And if you can panini press that bitch (we know how I love my panini maker) afterwards, definitely do it.
And if you don't like jalapenos then we should probably not be friends. Sorry I'm not sorry!
