If I had to think about one person that I would love to look like, it would be Jamie Eason. She maintains her femininity and yet looks very strong. I admire any woman that can take care of herself and maintain a successful business/career. But especially her. You can tell she’s the sweetest thing, and she’s a breast cancer survivor and still going strong. Much to admire!
I am going through her Live Fit 12 week program and found some of her tips and recipes interesting. This one is essentially turkey meatballs large sized….turkey muffins is really kind of a scary term, but that is what we will call them. The serving size of these guys for women is 2 and for men 4. You can really make them as big or small as you like but you will need to portion and adjust your cooking time accordingly.
These are very tasty. Just enough seasoning, moist enough where you do not need a topping. Smokey from the cumin, spicy from the flakes, and garlicky with the garlic powder. Feel free to add in anything you’d like. I have thrown in some red bell peppers and roasted or sun-dried tomatoes. Yum! You can also use something else besides quick cooking oats which I never have on hand. Today, I used plain bread crumbs, but these really taste best if you have garlic croutons and crush them up to replace the quick cooking oats. Add mores fat but much more tasty. Besides, these little guys are already figure friendly. You can freeze these too, and they will stay in your freezer for a few weeks so you always have something tasty and low fat ready to go. NO MORE EXCUSES!
