Blogger Week #2- Post 5 Gold Coast French Toast-101 Cookbooks

I love the blog 101 Cookbooks. I know you probably do too :). Heidi makes the most incredible food- its fresh, its unique, its just plain amazing. I grabbed one of her breakfast recipes to make tonight (note: Josh also had some leftover lasagna ;).

Gold Coast French Toast

Ingredients:
1 egg
1 cup undiluted evaporated milk (I used 2%)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 slices bread

Directions:
Beat egg; add milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix thoroughly. Dip bread into mixture. Brown on both sides on a well-greased griddle or frying pan. Serve with desired toppings!

Again, not a beautiful picture but it was wayy yummy.

On another note- the Frankster is sick :(. I fed him some turkey last night and apparently it didn't go over well. I think he was fearful today of getting sick on the floor and looked for any other place to relieve himself. He choose one of my duffel bags. haha I literally came home to #2 in my duffel bag. Poor baby. I hope he feels better!

After getting the monster all cleaned up (bath), I went to the gym and ran 4.5 miles and then did 15 minutes on the elliptical. What'd you make for dinner tonight lurves?

Blogger Week #2- Post 4- Aggie's Little Meatball Soup

I recently discovered Aggie’s blog and LOVE it! I look forward to all of her posts- she always seems to make things I really like to eat! When I saw her Little Meatball Soup, I knew I had to give it a try. I switched around the soup veggies, as Josh isn’t a fan of carrots and celery. Here is the slightly adjusted recipe (keep in mind I made a half size version):

Aggie's (AWESOME) Little Meatball Soup

Ingredients:
Frozen Peas and Edamame
1/2 onion, chopped
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
1 TB Olive Oil
1 32-oz cartons of low sodium chicken broth
1/2 bag of fresh spinach
salt and pepper

Meatballs:
0.5 lbs of ground turkey (or ground beef)
1/2 TB of garlic powder
1/4 cup oinion, finely minced
1/2 cup paremesan cheese
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1 TB milk
salt and pepper

Directions:
In a large pot with 1 TB of olive oil, combine onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for about 5-8 minutes until they start to soften. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add spinach, peas, and edamame and let simmer for about 20 - 25 minutes.

For turkey meatballs: In large bowl combine garlic, onion, cheese, breadcrumbs, eggs and milk, stir into a paste. Add ground turkey, salt and pepper and gently combine till completely mixed. Shape mixture into tiny balls, about 1 inch, and drop them into simmering soup. Cover over low heat, stirring gently until meatballs are cooked, about 20 minutes. Taste for seasoning.

Serve with grated Parmesan.

Aggie! This soup is so yummy! It also makes your house smell fabulous! What a great recipe!

Did you have a good day guys? My day was super busy! Frank was up barking allll last night so I didn't get up for the gym this morning :(. Work was very busy. After work, I picked up the dry cleaning, ran to the store, did stuff around the house, and then Josh and I had an appointment to walk through our future new house! By the time I got home and got dinner made, the gym was not happening :(. I will have to work extra hard tomorrow! Getting back after a long weekend is too hard!
