Roxy Tries

I don't eat red meat or pork, so I tend to eat a lot of turkey for protein. I like to think I've perfected the art of preparing ground turkey. The key is to season liberally, while adding extra fat into the meat. Adding cheese into the middle of a turkey meatball, for instance, keeps the turkey juicy and full of flavor - plus, it's fun to eat! These Italian style meatballs make a great appetizer, or topping to your favorite pasta. I'll also share my quick and easy marinara sauce for dipping - most ingredients you'll already have out while preparing the meatballs. Enjoy! What you'll need for the meatballs : one package  ground turkey (a little over a pound) 5 sticks  string cheese cubed one  egg 1/3 cup  bread crumbs 1/2 cup freshly grated  parmigiano reggiano 1/2 diced yellow onion 3-4 cloves of minced garlic  2 Tbsp  sun-dried tomato paste 1/4 cup of  fresh  parsley heaping Tbsp of basil heaping Tbsp of oregano tsp...

 With Super Bowl LII coming into town, I thought now would be the prefect time to share my own twist on a game day staple, buffalo chicken dip! Ingredients: 1 pound of shredded  chicken breasts  (or two 10 oz cans if you're looking for a major time saver) 1 cup of chicken stock  (for boiling chicken breasts) 1 8oz package of cream cheese  cut into cubes 1 cup of hot sauce (I use Frank's RedHot sauce) 1 cup of blue cheese dressing (I use Marzetti's) 1 1/2  cups shredded cheddar cheese (I use sharp) chips (or your preferred vessel for dipping)  green onions (chopped) and blue cheese crumbles for garnish                                          Cook your chicken in the stock. The stock helps lock in the flavor, but you can use water if you like. Cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165° F. The best way to boil ...

I'm Roxy, I'm in my late 20's (who am I kidding, I'm 29, but I'm milking it for all it's worth). I live in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with my boyfriend Matt, our daughter Vela, and our forever puppy Nugget. I've been in the hospitality industry for 12 years. If you ever need help apologizing to animate objects after you bump into them, that's a specialty of mine. I currently work for Delaware North - Sportservice at Target Field; this will be my 9th season. I've made some amazing relationships during my time with The Minnesota Twins, and I absolutely consider it my second home. Go Twins! When I was a little girl, I would start out every diary entry with, "Hello guys!" as if I were telling a story to an audience, even though 12 year old me would have been mortified if anyone read my diary! That's what makes blogging a scary, yet exciting moment for me. I've wanted to start a lifestyle blog for years, but I've always...
