A Smattering
I've been gone a while, super busy!
**Putting new sod down in the back yard is a huge amount of work. BUT, we will have more lawn now and less mulching.
**Rearranged the den a million times and it's finally to my liking.
** Painted the master bedroom the same dreamy green as the bathroom. LOOOOVE!
** Cleaned out all the closets and garage for a yard sale.
** Been sewing up a crazy storm in my sewing room! You can see all the latest projects at http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Snuggled-Stitch/113488372075395. More coming soon
** Nora started her third year of preschool!
** We also had her in the ER for the first time with 105 degree fever. NOT fun.
** The little dude finally found his walking legs. And subsequently, his climbing legs. Lord help me he's a goat in toddler's skin.
** Watched the in-laws animals while they were gone! Craziness, please don't make us do that often. Love the animals, not so much the nights apart from hubby.
**Started very part-time work with a landscaper
** Cooking meals for all the preggos and new baby mommies I know. Driving up to Suwanee every other week to help a twin preggo mommy. Her daughter is just eating up the 4-5 hrs of play time with Nora.
That should about cover it. This post is about as disorganized as my brain these days.

Szechuan Turkey Meatballs.
Another great experiment that got the hubby's approval!. Keeping with the theme, of 'use what I have' I found some frozen ground turkey breast in the freezer and went from there.
1 lb ground turkey(1% fat)
1/3 c. chopped green onion
2 Tablespoons Szechuan stir Fry Sauce(not the paste!)
1 egg
4 T. sesame seeds
1 T. soy sauce
1/2 c. red bell pepper, finely diced.
1/2 tube whole wheat saltine, crushed.
1 T. Szechuan Stir Fry Sauce(Mix with water below)
3 T. water.
In large mixing bowl combine ingredients and knead together with hands or wooden spoon. Feel free to use your Kitchen Aide with a meat hook, I just don't like messing up another utensil.
On stove, heat up 2 T. olive or sesame oil in large skillet, on medium to medium low heat.
Form 16-24 meatballs depending on preferred size and place in hot oil. Cook on each side approximately 8 mins. When nice browned on each side add additional sauce and 3 T. water and gently stir meatballs to glaze them.
I served this with a mix of Chinese veggies steamed in soy sauce and garlic. You could always add some plain brown rice if you want.
