Tasty Tuesday Linkup #49 and Exciting Tasty News
Hey guys! Happy Tasty Tuesday Linkup day to you! How was your weekend?
Mine just flew by. Seriously, before I knew it – it was Sunday night 🙁
This Saturday we (just out of the blue) decided it was Christmas – Take #2 at our house, at least food wise.
Hubby made an incredibly delicious leg of lamb! (I have no idea what’s gotten into him, I was afraid I’d spook him if I asked).

Sweet Potato Breakfast Skillet
Hi guys! How was your weekend?
Mine was great 🙂 Hubby and I tried a new workout this Saturday – Les Mills Bodypump™. Our Y just introduced those to the schedule and I was very curious to try it as I’d heard a lot of raving about it from my friends all over the place.
It didn’t disappoint! (I’m still sore)
It’s basically weight training (not cardio) done in a group ex. setting with instructor’s guidance. I loved it! Once my muscles heal, I’ll definitely be going back 🙂
Now on to our normal Tuesday activity – Tasty Tuesday Linkup Party!Continue Reading

One Pot Pasta with Shrimp Recipe
Hey guys! It’s party time here at Lean Lena’s!
So after all that holiday cooking and over-the-stove-slaving I didn’t feel like cooking at all last night.
We still had leftover salmon and mashed potatoes and we almost settled for that as our dinner.
And then my consciousness spoke to me, I lifted my butt off the couch and went to the kitchen. 🙂
But before I did that, I did some Pinterest searching for a nice and easy recipe that I could use/adopt based on what I had in the fridge. I searched for one pot pasta recipes with shrimp (because I had never tried making a one pot pasta before and I had a pack of shrimp in the freezer). I found this awesome recipe for One-Pan Coconut Shrimp Noodle Bowls by Bev Cooks. I didn’t have all the ingredients the original recipe was calling for, so I made my own with what I had on hand. I present to you my twist on Bev’s recipe:

Baked Apple Oatmeal Protein Bombs and GNC PUREDGE Giveaway
Hey guys! It’s Tuesday again!
Which means we’re talking tasty stuff here on this blog.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been indulging in delicious cookies (both at work and at home) lately. With me teaching 2-3 cycling classes a week those are not hard to burn off, but what the what, right? 🙂
So. Since it’s holiday season and treats are mandatory, I’ve decided to make my treats healthy. HUGE thanks to GNC and their PUREDGE line of products for helping me create this recipe for Baked Apple Oatmeal Protein Bombs!Continue Reading

Leftover Turkey Soup Recipe and Tasty Tuesday Linkup 43
Hey guys!
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you had a nice holiday.
We ran/walked the Turkey Trot on the Thanksgiving morning:
And then we got home, put the turkey in the oven and snuggled with the kitty for a bit:
Our turkey was 15lb, but this year it was just the two of us on Thanksgiving, so we had plenty of leftovers!
Since ’tis the season of soups, and our bodies were begging for something lighter after the Thanksgiving feast, I made soup.
But! Before I could make soup – I made turkey broth. The wise and awesome friend of mine named Jennifer had an awesome idea which I used to make my broth. Check it out here – I promise, you’ll never use store bought broth again!
See? I told you that girl was genius!
So, back to the soup recipe. This one is super easy and quick to make, as most of my recipes.

Meatballs Recipe and Tasty Tuesday Linkup Party
Hey guys! How was your weekend?
We took it easy this past weekend and didn’t really do much except for the usual work around the house and weekend errands like grocery shopping and all that jazz 🙂
So I was thinking about what recipe to share with you today for the Tasty Tuesday, and here’s what I came up with. When I moved to the US three years ago I was a little overwhelmed by how much the food was different from what I was used to growing up. So, thinking of this week’s Tasty Tuesday reminded me of one of the things that were different here in the US – meatballs.
Ok, think of how people serve meatballs in the US? Correct! Over spaghetti 🙂 And that’s about the only serving option, unless you’re at IKEA and ordering Swedish meatballs, but that’s a whole different territory 🙂
Wanna know how people eat meatballs in Russia? Read on! 🙂
In fact, there will be two variations of the meatballs recipe in this post – one is my variation on the American version (over spaghetti), and the other variation will be the Russian style meatballs.
Ready?

Turkey-Ginger Breakfast Patties Recipe – Whole30 and Paleo Friendly
Hey, my foodies! How is your week going so far? Hope you didn’t have too bad of a Monday 🙂

Every Tuesday I post a recipe, a collection of recipes, a restaurant review or anything related to food. There is then a linkup at the end of the post where you can add links to your food-related blog posts! The linkup stays open for a week – right until the next one comes around. How awesome is that?

First off, I wanted to let you know that there is now the Tasty Tuesday Pinterest Board where you can pin your posts every week. To be able to do that, please follow me on Pinterest and let me know in comments that you did and your Pinterest username so I could send you an invite.
This week, in light of my latest challenge which is Whole30, I am posting a Whole30-friendly recipe here.
Whole30 pretty much bans all my favorite breakfast foods (oatmeal, avocado toast, PB toast, breakfast sandwiches) – I had to come up with a plan “B” when it comes to breakfast.
So last Sunday I made a bunch of turkey-ginger breakfast patties for an easy grab-and-go breakfast. Add some boiled eggs and vegetables of your choice and you got yourself a wonderful breakfast free of processed crap. Here’s how:
INGREDIENTS:
- Ground turkey
- 2 eggs
- Fresh cilantro, chopped coarsely
- 1-2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
HOW TO:
Preheat the oven to 350°F
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until well combined
Line a cooking sheet with foil and lightly grease with olive oil
Form patties and place them on the sheet (I made 6 big ones, remember they’ll shrink when cooked)
Bake for 20-30 minutes (10-15 minutes on each side).
Broil for the last 5 minutes.
Let cool down, refrigerate or freeze for later.
Enjoy!
And that’s it! How easy is that? Mix, pop them in the oven, take out, eat! 🙂
Spread the love:
Now your turn! Link up your tasty posts below, my dears! I can’t wait to read what tasty foods you ate 🙂
Have a wonderful week and eat well.
