Ingredients

 

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 3/4 cup crushed butter-flavored crackers
• 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 6 tablespoon Dijon mustard, divided
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1-1/4 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
• 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
• 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine the egg, cracker crumbs, cheese, onion, ginger and 3 tablespoons mustard. Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well. Shape into 30 (1-in.) balls.
• Place meatballs on a greased rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until juices run clear; drain.
• In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and onion powder. Stir in pineapple juice until smooth. Add pepper and honey. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; stir in remaining mustard until smooth.

Brush meatballs with about 1/4 cup sauce and bake 10 minutes longer. Serve remaining sauce as a dip for meatballs.

Cauliflower with Dijon Sauce

 

Original recipe makes 4 servings

1 head cauliflower, separated into florets

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Place cauliflower florets in a large glass bowl or casserole dish, and cover with plastic wrap. Poke a few holes in the plastic with a knife. Cook in the microwave for 5 to 7 minutes, or until tender.

2. In a cup or small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Spread over the top of the cauliflower. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Return to the microwave, and cook just until cheese has melted, about 2 minutes.

This was really good.  I don’t seem to find very may cauliflower recipes.  It’s to bad because we love cauliflower.

We used the sauce as a gravy.  Instead of cooking the meatballs longer.  They were done in 25 minutes.

I got to leave early from work.  They had a power outage last night and so the computers weren’t working.  I got paid for two hours because I showed up.
 Still haven’t heard any thing from Jonathan.  I have to admit that I am disappointed in him.  He wants to get together but refuses to call.  We finally got his new phone number and we have called and emailed him but, still he hasn't called.  All I can say is that it's too bad.  It would have been fun to have gotten together with him.

 We got an invitation to his birthday.  Don't know if I can go because of work.  My hours are down to almost nothing.
