Mixing it up

Tired of the same old vegetable stir fry with a meat and either pasta or rice for dinner we decided to experiment a little. An internet recipe idea search and a trip to Fairway Market later, we had a weekend full of delicious, relatively healthy meals.

Friday night: Meatloaf. Used ground turkey with the beef for a lighter dish. Mixed in sauteed onions, green bell pepper, spinach, and carrots to load up on vegetables. A honey-ketchup glaze. So flavorful I didn't even add extra ketchup!

Saturday night: Eggplant Parmesan. My all-time favorite. Dipped in egg and breadcrumbs and then baked instead of fried lightened this dish right up...minus all the Parmesan cheese...yum.
Sunday night: Teriyaki Burgers and Fries. Used the remainder ground turkey/beef mixture to make patties, and rubbed them in teriyaki sauce before cooking. Topped the burgers off with a sauteed mixture of mushrooms, onions, and spinach. A side of potatoes sliced and baked in the oven made for delicious homemade diner fare.
