Turkey Meatballs (21 Day Fix Approved)

These were fantastic! I didn't even need any sauce to go with these! I served it with spaghetti squash and a little Parmesan cheese. I found the original recipe at fitmomangelad.com. (Portion Fix: 4 meatballs is 1 red and 1/4 yellow.)

Bonus: I actually prepped these on Monday and put them on a sprayed cookie sheet and then put them in the freezer. I took them out this afternoon, let them thaw and then cooked them up for dinner!

Ingredients: 

• 20 oz lean ground turkey
• 1 tea sea salt
• 1 tea dry mustard
• 1 tea paprika
• 1 tea parsley
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 T pasta sauce or tomato sauce, low or no sugar
• 3/4 cup quick oats

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, spray and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.
4. Take 2 T (or half of a 1/4 cup) and roll into balls and put on cookie sheet.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.

Hidden Veggie Baked Mac and Cheese

I made this mac and cheese for my family for dinner and everyone really liked it! Not a single person noticed there was a little boost of butternut squash in there!

I added chicken and broccoli to mine to round it out, but it is yummy solo. Use one yellow to measure a serving. The 21 Day Fix containers used with just the mac and cheese are: 1 yellow and 1 blue. If you serve it with broccoli and chicken it would add 1 red and 1 green.

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat elbow macaroni, dry (or 4 cups cooked)
• 2 eggs
• 10 oz bag frozen butternut squash
• 1 cup almond milk
• ½ tea salt
• 3 cups sharp cheddar (yes, sharp!)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x13 pan.
2. Cook macaroni according to package directions, drain.
3. Thaw butternut squash in the microwave. 
4. In a blender, combine eggs, butternut squash, milk, and salt until smooth.
5. Put half of the cooked macaroni in the bottom of the 9x13 pan.
6. Cover with 1 ½ cups of cheese.
7. Put the other half of macaroni on top of the cheese.
8. Cover with the rest of the cheese.
9. Top with the milk mix.
10. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until bubbly.

Flat Out Pizzas

When the weekend comes, I really like to have something that feels more like "weekend food" and something that I know my kids will like. These pizzas fit the bill perfectly! You can make these with whatever toppings you like. You could also use whole wheat pitas or whole wheat English muffins.

One package of Flat Outs serves 6 and the 21 Day Fix container count will depend on what you put on your pizza, but it would probably be 1 yellow, 1 green, 1 blue, and 1 red.

Ingredients:

• 1 package Flatouts
• 1 jar marinara (low or no sugar)
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• Your favorite toppings (ham, chicken, green peppers, pineapple, tomatoes, etc)

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Put Flat Outs on a cookie sheet (or 3).
3. Bake Flat Outs for 2 minutes, flip, and then bake for 2 more minutes.
4. Put desired toppings on the Flat Outs.
5. Bake for an additional 4-7 minutes until done.
