Turkey Meatballs, Homemade Marinara & Pesto Bread Twist


I am so excited to be sharing this cooking video with you! After a long day of work in the studio sewing up a storm....I needed to unwind in the kitchen. Cooking relaxes me and puts me in another mind space of pure enjoyment. And the other night I made a meal that was so incredibly delicious I could have eaten it for a week straight. But of course when you live in the house with grown men, that is only a dream! I'm one that LOOOOOVVVVVEEES leftovers but this meal barely made it to the next day. I guess that how you know it hit the spot!

I made turkey meatballs packed with fresh herbs in a homemade marinara sauce, paired it with pesto fettichini and followed it with what my son calls "green bread" which is a pesto bread twist! SOOOO GOOD!!! At I will be covering it all in the video below.

If you make this yummy dish, let me know how your's turned out!

*I've been asked by several people about the infused oils that I have used. I received a gift set from my mother from a company called O'lilve a Little. They are based out of Connecticut but they ship all over! Today I used two of their products in this video, the italian herb infused olive oil and red wine vinegar (which I can't seem to find on their website, but I'm sure if you called them they can hook you up!)
