I enjoyed cooking last Sunday so much that I decided to try it again. I used my nifty healthy cookbook once again and decided to make "Healthy Joes", a healthy twist on the good 'ol Sloppy Joes.
I used ground turkey instead of beef and surprisingly you could not tell a difference! Ingredients such as paprika, diced tomatoes, onions, bell peppers and garlic added so much flavor to the turkey. For a side dish I made potato wedges, using a bit of seasoning salt and olive oil. These too were healthier than tator tots or french fries.
Ryan LOVED it! I told him to be completely honest because it would not hurt my feelings. I need to know if he doesn't care for something I cook so I won't make it again! He said he would eat this meal once a week. I laughed and said "maybe every other week, honey" :) I am just so glad it turned out and was very flavorful. He actually went out the next day and brought home the same ingredients so I could make more! I will have to make some next week now that I have mastered the recipe.
I know sloppy joes and potato wedges are not a difficult meal to make, but hey, I am taking baby steps. Remember, this gal has never really cooked before. :) Tomorrow I am going to go through my recipe book to find some other meals I think Ryan would like so that I can cook a few times this week. I love being a wifey who cooks! haha
