The Healthiest Chocolate Pudding!!!

I've always enjoyed chocolate. It has been my favorite flavor when it comes to many things, but these days I no longer crave the Snickers bars of the past. Now that I've acquired a taste for raw Cacao beans, I'm totally addicted to this pudding. It's a healthy addiction. One that includes an energy boost, mental clarity and a release of those feel-good endorphins! I highly recommend you give this a try. If you do, please share your thoughts with other followers of this blog by commenting below.

Until next time, Live Well!!!

Turkey Meatballs in November?

Thanksgiving Week is quickly approaching, but that doesn't even stop me from getting my weekly dose of homemade Turkey Meals. For the most part, Turkey meatballs are a staple in our home. My 2-year-old toddler can't seem to get enough of them and I just love the fact that it takes me all of 10 minutes to prep, then plop in the oven for 30 minutes. Since so many people have requested this recipe, I thought I would add it my blog. I don't measure the ingredients when I make this dish, but I've tried to be as precise as possible here. Use your judgement and let me know if you made any adjustments. Gobble, Gobble!! =)

1 package of free range, hormone free, antibiotic free ground turkey meat.
1 egg (organic is always best)
1/4-1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (we use gluten-free)
3-4 cloves of freshly chopped garlic
1/4 cup grated cheese
2 tsp of fresh parsley (finely chopped)

Preheat oven to 350
combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix together with your hands.
Add 2 tablespoons of Extra Virgin, Organic, Oil Olive to a baking pan, or cookie sheet
Use an ice cream scooper to scoop out balls of meat and drop into pan
Bake on 350 for 30 minutes!
