Kickin Meatballs!!!!

There is nothing like a little spice to add that extra kick to a dish! I was shopping and ran across this HEB Habanero Jack shredded cheese and I had to get it. I know some people may be a little intimidated about habanero peppers, but don't be! This cheese provides just a slight "KICK" and not an overwhelming "PUNCH" of the pepper.
I had a recipe for low carb meatballs (no breadcrumbs) that called for cheddar cheese, so I decided to substitute it for the habanero jack cheese. I ate my meatballs in a tomato sauce on Shirataki noodles, which was really good!!  I really enjoyed the meatballs and I hope you will too.

Habanero Jack Meatballs

1/2 pound of ground turkey
1/2 pound of lean ground beef
1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup of Habanero Jack Cheese
1/4 cup of chopped parsley
3/4 cup of ricotta cheese
1 egg
1 tbsp of garlic powder
1 tbsp of onion powder
1 teaspoon dill weed
2 tsp of Bold Tony's Chachere's Cajun Seasoning (or to taste )

Preheat oven to 375. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl making sure to work all of the ingredients together well. Roll meatballs to about golf ball size. Place meatballs on baking pan and bake for about 15-20 minutes.



Enjoy!

Gotta love Kale!!!

I have to admit that I just learned about kale. I would see it in the store and I would walk right past it. Kale was introduced to me by my friend/boss one day and I have loved it since! 

Last night  I made grilled salmon (seasoned with Ty's Gourmet Spice Seasoning zesty) and I made kale as my side! It came out delightful!!! If u have not tried kale, I must insist that you do. The recipe for the kale dish that accompanied my salmon is below!!! Enjoy!!!

2 bunches of kale (stripped from stem)

4 oz of sliced baby Bella mushrooms

1/2 of medium onion (sliced into thin strips)

2 cloves of garlic (minced)

2 tsp. olive oil

Heat oil in deep skillet or wok, add onion and mushrooms and sautée until tender. Add garlic and sautée for 1 minute. Add kale and cook until slightly wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Review on Ty's Gourmet Spice Seasoning

I have found a new love!!! This seasoning is amazing. It is full of awesome flavor and it is like a party in your mouth!!! You can sprinkle it on chicken, fish, beef, lamb or even veggies and it adds an amazing burst of flavor to every bite. I ran across this product at the Sugarland Farmers Market. The gentleman selling the item had a sample of grilled chicken seasoned to perfection with the low-salt zesty seasoning and I had to get it. I recently used the seasoning on a beef roast, and it was to die for. 

The product comes in a 6 oz. re-sealable bag. The asking price was $6.00, which is an excellent buy. Be sure to check out the website at www.tysspice.com!!!!

Let me know what you think!!!
