Eating Healthy for me is a challenge. Especially while I’m on the road  for work. Being a Flight Attendant in the Airline industry is so fun, but it has its challenges. Especially when It comes to food. Finding an affordable place to eat can be a challenge depending on which city I am in, and after a few days of eating out of my lunch kit, my food grosses me out. Every time I have a Hot meal I am the happiest girl alive. Sometimes I am deprived of the basic necessitates such as warm food while  I’m at work . 🙂 While I was overnighting in Edmonton Alberta I had this amazing hotel room that’s bigger than my apartment, and that came with a stove. yay!! I was so excited to be able to have the chance to make a warm home cooked meal. I had an amazing work out at the hotels gym and then walked to the Grocery store to get started on my meal. The fresh air felt so nice since I had such a long flight the night before. Long flights are great but I often feel trapped in a metal tube towards the end of the night.

I got to Save on Foods grocery store and had no idea what I was going to make. Then I realized I could make Meatballs Yay!!!! I was inspired a week back by a colleague of mine named Laura who shared her Meatball recipe. I didn’t have all the spices so I improvised and made my own recipe, something very similar.

 For $6 I found Lean Ground Turkey Breast, and I added chai seeds to the meat along with sea salt that I found in the Bulk section, and Romano Cheese which I also found in the Bulk section. Chai seeds are packed with fiber, protein, minerals, Omega-3, and antioxidants. I always have some with me in my lunch kit and I sprinkle Chai seeds on everything from my Salads to smoothies. Save on Foods Grocery Store carries Quality foods at great prices. With me being on the road finding spices and cheese in the bulk section allowed me to buy these ingredients so cheap and so I was able to make a yummy dinner. I bought Organic tomato sauce, garlic, Organic Basil, and I couldn’t resist on buying some delicious looking Olives to go with my meatballs.

I was so Happy that I had this day to myself to sleep in , workout, cook, and relax. I am always on the go, and trying to get so much stuff done in such  small amounts of time. The fact that I had all day In Edmonton with nothing to do made Cooking so relaxing and fun. It felt so good to have these quality ingredients that were so affordable. I didn’t have oil to cook with so I just used water to cook the meatballs and it worked great. I kept adding water as I needed. Once the meatballs where almost cooked I added the Tomato sauce, and Romano cheese . the flavor from the meat blended into the tomato sauce so perfectly. with little ingredients the Meatballs were so flavourful. once I plated these babys I sprinkled on some more cheese, and Yum!!!!!

As I ate these meatballs I didn’t have a care in this world. 🙂 the gratitude I felt to be able to have this warm meal while at work was beyond words. I also bought some Kiwi which is a produce from the clean 15 produce list and had that as my appetizer. I was also able to buy a Banana, some organic Almonds, and some fresh Sushi to take with me to work for the next day. Save on Foods carries Sea Choice seafood. Sea choice is Ocean friendly seafood that’s made with sustainable fish and seafood.  www.seachoice.org . I also bought  Happy Planet Broccoli soup some dried Peas, and dried sugar snap peas to take with me as well. the total for all this food was 43 dollars. A good amount of these items were Organic. I hope there will be a Save on Foods grocery store near me soon!!!! you could also make this in a slow cooker if your at home and having one of those crazy days that comes with a never ending “to do list “. Leave it to cook in your slow cooker while you get your day done and have a nice warm meal ready for you by dinner time !!! if you try this meal. I hope it brings you as much joy as it did for me 🙂 Thanks for listening !!!
