I’ve been toying around with recipes A LOT lately, and I haven’t been sharing too much because I am trying to write a book. The basis for the book is that it’s full of healthy, EASY things to make that can cater to a family, as well as an individual, and really goes along with the lifestyle of a weight loss surgery patient. (Low carb, lots of protein, and easy to portion out!) The book will be low on “extra” carbs, high on protein, and again, super easy things you can make for your whole family.

I hope you guys are here for something like that. I am pulling together the list of recipes, writing them, compiling them, and trying to find a kitchen pretty enough to take some photos in since mine just won’t do! (If you’re in the Indy area and have a gorgeous, cool-toned, bright kitchen, let a sister know!)

My latest food brain-child is this Taco Meatball recipe. It’s got 4 simple ingredients, takes maybe 30 minutes total to throw together, and it’s so versatile. I love this recipe for a family because it can be served with some spinach for someone like me, who doesn’t do much carbs, it can be made into a full-fledged taco salad for guests, or it can be served up in tortillas for Taco Tuesday! It’s sure to please everyone in the family, so it will definitely have it’s spot in my book. Consider yourself gifted with a sweet early peek at the type of recipes you will see in my COOKBOOK!

For the recipe, see below. If you’re interested in the delicious guacamole recipe that I served with the meatballs, you will have to wait until next week! I promise, it’s worth the wait!
