Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Yum!!! I love sweet potatoes and so does Gray. These were a fun and different way to make them for a crowd! Everyone loved them, but what's not to love? This recipe is from Vintage Victuals.

4 sweet potatoes
2 tbsp butter
1/4 tspn salt
3 tbsp milk
1 egg
2 tbsps brown sugar

Boil the sweet potatoes in water until they are fork tender. Remove from water and remove the pulp from the potato, cut the potato pulp with a knife to prevent it from being stringy. Place the pulp into a bowl and add butter, mash well using a potato masher. Let the mixture cool off for a few minutes. Add the remaining ingredients. Mix together well. Pour into a greased baking dish. Heat oven to 375 and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Greek Turkey Meatballs

Okay, these are one of my new favorites! They are adapted from Skinny Taste, I love that I can eat them and not feel guilty! Plus I adore Tzatiki Sauce so these were perfect. You MUST make the tzatiki to go with them!!! Gray and I both really enjoyed these, they were so much lighter and will be a great summer recipe!

1 lbs lean ground turkey
1 cup zucchini, grated and liquid squeezed out
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1 large egg
2-3 cloves garlic, grated
1/4 red onion, grated
1 tbsp dried oregano,
2 tbsp dried parsley
kosher salt and fresh pepper

Mix ingredients together, be careful not to over mix. Form meatballs. Cook the meatballs in a frying pan with a tiny bit of olive oil. Serve warm!

Crescent Chicken

Oh this was delicious!!! The recipe was found on Comfy in the Kitchen and it was simple and I had all the ingredients on hand! Love recipes like that!

1 package refrigerator crescent rolls (regular or jumbo)
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can of milk (using soup can to measure)

Heat oven to 350. Roll out the crescent rolls, place a few pieces of chicken in the center along with a bit of cheese then roll up. Repeat and place the bundles into a 9 x 11 dish. Mix together the chicken soup and milk in a separate bowl then pour over the crescent bundles. Bake for 30 minutes.
