Swedish Meatballs

Tonight Texas met Sweden with my first ever attempt at Swedish meatballs. My take on this classic dish used 96/4 lean ground beef rather than the usual mix of beef and pork. The result was lower fat, but still tender meatballs.

I've posted the recipe on the recipe page. I made extra cream sauce because I was serving the meatballs over brown rice. With a side salad this was a fairly light and delicious meal. Butter and cream in the sauce were the only decadent elements to a healthy from scratch meal.

     Tonight's Daily Plate features adobo pork loin chops grilled along with Cajun spiced fresh zucchini from my garden. Watermelon completes the entree for a fresh, spicy summer meal.   Adobo Pork Loin Chops      The zucchini was marinated in olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt and Cajun seasoning. When grilled, it blackened slightly, adding a nice grilled flavor. The zucchini was not a favorite with most of the family, but I personally thought it was delicious. Of course, most of the family thinks vegetables are limited to potatoes, English peas and broccoli.

  Breaded Chicken Breasts with Lime Butter      Tonight's daily plate features bread crumb and wheat germ crusted chicken breasts pan fried in a bit of olive oil.

Finally, I had a serving of simple potato crowns for a bit of crunch. A quick, simple but delicious meal.
