We’ve got balls!

Hey everyone. It’s been a rough last couple of months having to cook without Gina because of her 2-10 evening shift. She is now changing to a new schedule where she’ll work the day shift (7am to 7pm)! In celebration of Gina’s recent change in schedule, we decided to cook up a storm this weekend. Here’s a taste of the first installment! So, as I had mentioned in our last post, my Grandma and Grandpa bought me a meatball cookbook (a bible, in fact). Our first recipe that we’re trying out of it is Bombay Turkey Meatballs.

This recipe uses pine nuts, cilantro, and apricots along w/ a little egg, some bread, onions and garlic, and turkey to make delicious meatballs! Here’s the dudes below (pre oven):

So we posted a little while ago about the plants that we’ve been growing. Well, this week is an exciting week because they’re starting to actually produce fruit! Below is a picture of the first batch of lettuce and our first ripe tomato.

And our first ripe bell pepper!

Here’s the tomato cut open, yummy.

Okay, back to the meatballs: we made a nice tomato yogurt sauce with some cumin to put on top:

And our meatballs once they came out of the oven:

And the finished product all plated and beautiful. Served the meatballs in a pita w/ lettuce and topped with our yogurt sauce. Also, the salad next to it with our own yummy vegetables.

More to come! Keep cooking!
