Alright guys, here's the recipe from our dinner tonight. I'm lucky that Kelli loves to cook and is damn good at it. She's also a 100% partner in this health improvement for life.

Kelli's Scrumptious Spaghetti & Meatballs (With Kelli Moderating)

Heat 2 tablespoons of EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil in a large saute pan on medium low

Saute 4 chopped garlic cloves for approx. one minute

Add 1/2 chopped (Red Bell Pepper, White Onion, Zucchini)
Add 1/3 chopped egg plant
Add 1 chopped Jalepeno(If you like spice)
Add 1 chopped Tomato
Add some salt and pepper
Saute until veggies are tender

While veggies are cooking make the meat balls and boil water for pasta in a separate pan:

Mix in large bowl:
1/2 lb of EXTRA LEAN ground Turkey
1 egg white
1/3 cup of bread crumbs
1 teaspoon of basil
1 teaspoon of oregeno
Salt & Pepper

Make Golf Ball size meat balls

Take cooked veggies off heat and into bowl

Put two tablespoons of EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil in the pan and brown the meatballs on all sides. After the sides are browned then cover to cook them throughly for 10-15 minutes.

After meaballs are cooked, add cooked veggies back to pan.

Add one 15 OZ can of Hunt Tomato Sauce (ALL NATURAL/NO Preservatives)

Simmer around 5-10 minutes

Somewhere towards the end put WHOLE WHEAT pasta in boiling water.



This was EXCELLENT guys and healthy.
