Savvy with Abbie

I made this recipe a few weeks ago but just now getting to write a blog about it. Inspiration found through Best Recipe Box . I always try and add a healthier touch to recipes, as much as I possibly can so my version is below. This recipe was enjoyed by my entire family, including 13 year old Jace. I love that he enjoys healthier options :) Sometimes he doesn't realize the healthier options I use but in this recipe, I included - whole wheat panko breadcrumbs, 90/10 ground beef (compared to 85/15 or 80/20, this one is way healthier), unsalted butter (we try and eliminate salt when and where we can), whole wheat flour, and low sodium beef broth. We also used milk which is way better than heavy cream (I didn't realize this until I looked at the carton but heavy cream has loads of calories). This was unlike the regular Swedish Meatballs recipe that I usually make but I liked it and will make it again. We used spaghetti noodles but you can also use egg noodles as well.  Ingredients

Is anyone else so excited that Monday is a holiday? I love what I do but it is nice to have a little break and, every once in awhile, a 3-day weekend. I have two blogs to catch up on and hopefully I'll be able to get both completed this weekend. On a happier note, it is Valentine's Day so I hope everyone has an amazing and special Valentine's Day! Kevin and I went to the casino last week so that was our early Valentine's time together. We may take Jace to go see the new Sonic movie - he has been talking about this movie for months! What are your Valentine's Day plans? A few nights ago I made delicious healthier Swedish Meatballs. I used Ground Turkey and Ground Beef as well as seasonings, egg, and breadcrumbs. I didn't have the noodles that you normally use so I just made Shells and it worked perfectly. The sauce was beef broth and cream cheese and who knew that combining those together would make an amazing and delicious sauce! Ingredients: 2 Tbsp olive
