Working moms doing the best we can, one moment at a time
To mix up the monotony of scrambled eggs (over-easy, oh how I miss thee), we seasoned the pan by first adding leftover seasoned ground turkey from Thursday night’s taco salad.
Scramble eggs as usual, and top with your choice of taco-friendly ingredients. In my case, that was avocado, tomatoes and goat milk yogurt.
With a limited window of time to make dinner and workout, I whipped together this super quick meal: oven-roasted squash and zucchini paired with homemade turkey meatballs.
Preheat oven to about 400 degrees and then prep the veggies:
Toss two sliced summer squash and two zucchini with olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme in an oven-safe casserole dish.
Next, prep the meatballs:
Mix 1 lb ground turkey with a generous scoop of almond meal, a scoop of unsweetened and shredded coconut, 1 egg, salt, pepper, olive oil and thyme. Scoop 1/4-cup or smaller spoonfuls into a buttered casserole dish.
Bake both dishes for about 30 minutes, or until veggies are tender and meatballs are cooked through.
More thyme for you!
David loves bacon, I love broccoli (really I do, it’s a texture thing). Scrambled eggs can get boring after a while, so I decided to kick things up a notch using the best part of bacon: the fat.
1. Cook bacon (3 slices was enough for the two of us)
2. Remove bacon and use same pan with bacon fat to cook chopped, frozen broccoli
3. Remove broccoli and use same pan to cook eggs
4. When eggs are set, add chopped bacon and broccoli.
Optional: if you’re feeling extra indulgent, top with shredded cheese
