I'm a huge Rachael Ray fan and when I was going to the gym after work during the week, I always made sure I was on the elliptical to catch the evening episode of 30 Minute Meals. I've decided to take on a few of her new recipes and impress anyone and everyone with my version of her dishes.
First recipe I decided to try was the Bocconcini Stuffed Meatballs with Tomato-Pesto Sauce.
I didn't get a picture of my masterpiece but I was happy with how much my version looked like the awesome photo in the book. I made a few minor changes, using ground turkey and regular mozzarella cubes (do you know how hard it is to find bocconcini in my part of St. Louis?!?!? Nearly impossible!) and dried herbs, but overall, the meatballs were delicious. Broccoli gave it a thumbs up as well and we'll probably add this to the list of dinners I will make again.
Being extremely ambitious, I also decided while I was grocery shopping today to pick up ingredients to make a few more dishes next week. Nothing too outrageous, but some items out of my normal range.
Seems like this is going to be a fun project, one that will hopefully cure these winter blues!
