Gluten Free Turkey Meatloaf Cupcakes

{Ingredients}

1 cup of carrots 

6-10 mushrooms of choice 

1 medium zucchini 

1/2 onion 

4 big cauliflower florets

(These veggies can be replaced with so much! I always try to pack at least 4 in and use what I have) 

1LB of lean ground turkey

Sea Salt/pepper/cumin/ thyme/rosemary/celery salt/garlic 

Normally I replace the egg in traditional meatloaf recipes with salsa, but since I'm nursing and my bebe doesn't do so well after I eat anything tomato or acidic I changed it up! 

So here is what I did:

After cutting excess junk off of the veggies I roughly chopped and tossed them all into a food processor until they are evenly minced I took a paper towel to blot up any extra water in the mixture so it doesn't water the cupcakes down. 

(If you do not have a food processor don't worry! Use can use a ninja or a blender too, or what I do too is just chop and minced everything by hand. It doesn't have to be finely cut either! We've done them where there's chunky veggies and it's delish too) 

Mix the veggie purée and the ground turkey together, season and ball into a greased cupcake pan and bake at 400• for 25 minutes. 

Top with homemade mash potatoes! A lower carb option would be cauliflower mash! Something I'm trying next time! 

These are veggie packed and toddler approved! 

{GLUTEN FREE! FOOTBALL FOOD!}It's been quite a while!!!

Wow it's been quite a while. I've been up and down since my RA diagnosis late may but on my good days I've been cooking up a storm. Today especially I've had quite a bit of fun making some football yummy's for my hubby {and my 9 month preggo self!}

 Learning how to cook or eat with a corn allergy and being celiac has not been easy, or fun. But when I find ways to move around those {BIG} obstacles I feel like I've moved mountains! 

This morning was one of them! All my food is from scratch {gluten & corn free of course too} which I prefer. It tastes so much better, is fresher and is way healthier for you. Even when it's something bad. 

Today I woke up too energized which makes me feel like this baby is a coming soon. I made gluten free/corn free Belgium Waffles. So delicious, they've been a staple the last couple of weeks. I found a recipe that I tweaked to my preference and taste. So good! 

I will post recipes separate from this post 

:-) 

Next up since I can't have bagged fries or safe fries anywhere for that matter thanks to the corn additives and the cross contamination of oils and breaded junk I resorted to making my own from scratch in a personal deep fryer. What what! SO GOOD. I can not say that enough. 

Turkey chili was next, then hot wings!! My husband decided chili cheese fries was a good football snack so he's devouring those now. Hah! 

What a good food day! It's gonna be yummy! Turkey chili, fries, waffle and hot wings recipes to follow!!!
