Diary of a Sweet Tooth Fairy

Not a writer. Not a chef. Just a dentist with a sweet tooth and a passion for food, traveling, and all the crumbs in between.

Cooking for one is always hard for me. I feel like I spend a lot of time cooking and end up wasting a lot of food. This last year I really got into prepping and storing pre-cooked ingredients in the freezer. Tonight I used turkey meatballs I had already made and froze to inspire a crazy good "pasta" dinner.

Ingredients:

- one zucchini (20 cals)

- one yellow squash (20 cals)

- 3 turkey meatballs (50 cals each)

- two tablespoon of organic marinara sauce (24 cals)

- one tablespoon of goat cheese (~78 cals) - seasoning to your liking

1.) Heat up the meatballs in the microwave or conventional oven. 2.) Use a potato peeler to peel your squash and zucchini to resemble noodles. 3.) Heat a sauté pan on low and spray with coconut oil. Cook the veggies until they start to resemble pasta. This is really a fast process and something you can't really mess up. Make sure to season to your liking. 4.) When the vegetables are almost fully cooked, add the meatballs to give them a little sear on the outside. 5.) Transfer the veggies and meatballs onto a bowl, mix in the marinara sauce and goat cheese until it's melted and mixed well. 6.) Enjoy!

Easy, really low calorie, and absolutely packed with flavor!

Snacking away at work today. Prepped this tuna salad for the next two days last night while catching up on Hulu. I added diced red onions, diced tomatoes, shredded carrots, and baby seedless red grapes for some sweetness. I mixed everything with greek yogurt and seasoned with a little EVOO, salt, pepper and lemon. #HealthyEats #DiaryOfASweetToothFairy #DRPrepping #BikiniSeason #TunaSalad #Food #FoodBloggerReturnedFromTheDead

@dredds43 gets the royal treatment when he comes to visit. Transported us to a much warmer Miami with a little cafecito Cubano. #CubanCoffee #Cafecito #CafecitoCubano #Espresso #Coffee #Barista #CafeBustelo #DiaryofASweetToothFairy
