The City of Angels & recipe revamped

It's been so long! Last week I spent in the beautiful city of angels chillin with my homies. Homies meaning six college students and three missionaries from all over the country, the homeless of Hollywood & Skid Row, some awesome friends in Hollywood, and former gang members who are in the program at Homeboy Industries. 

I can't tell you how blessed and healed I feel by the conversations, the smiles and the encounters I was able to have. Words really just don't do it justice. 

These are a few of the moments that captured my heart. My birth state never ceases to amaze me. My heart was so sad to leave but I know that the coast of California is like my Trevi fountain and I will be back again. 

 

As promised I also have a recipe for you all. I'm currently gearing up for another week of travel, this time to Indiana. So cooking hasn't really been happening as much as I'd like. So this was literally the one meal I made this week. In retrospect I think it'll be good to give myself a break before Easter and the cookig frenzy that will ensue. 

Revamped Veggie Turkey Meatballs

 

What you'll need: 

1 pkg ground turkey 

2 tbsp chopped celery

2 tbsp chopped carrot

2 tbsp chopped broccoli

1 tbsp diced garlic

1 egg

1 tbsp agave nectar 

1/4 c oats 

2-3 dashes of ground salt & pepper 

Method:

Combine egg, ground turkey, oats, chopped veggies, salt and pepper into a bowl. Once mixed well form into small balls and place in oiled pan skillet. Brown all sides until well cooked (no pink inside obviously) so about 15 mins. 

I ate mine with marinara sauce from a can 😇 and a side of sautéed broccoli.
