Who doesn’t love easy and delicious? Healthyish  is a cookbook that focuses on delicious, doable recipes that are, indeed, “healthyish”. I love this book. So many things I’ve already bookmarked.

I made her turkey and chickpea burgers, and I was definitely impressed. They were absolutely delicious.

In addition to the book, OXO sent me some fabulous kitchen tools; their Nonstick Pro Half Cookie Sheet,  Good Grips 4.5 Quart Glass Bowl, 2 Quart Silicone Collapsable StrainerSmooth Potato Masher, and Large Flexible Spatula.

My favorite tool, hands down, was the collapsible strainer. It collapses flat, and can be easily stored anywhere.

A close second is their Smooth Potato Masher. It’s an excellent tool – some potato masher don’t have enough sturdiness to really mash food the way it should. This one does the job beautifully.

You can never, ever have too many bowls. I have some go-to’s in my kitchen, and this is now officially one of them. The size is perfect for mixing, tossing, and even serving. It’s thermal shock resistant and oven, freezer and microwave safe. Can’t get much better than that.

The chickpeas definitely stretched the ground turkey further. I loved them so much, I made two batches and individually froze a batch so we could take one out of the freezer whenever we want one!

The dill and havarti is so good on this, and dijon mustard is always fantastic.

    Once again, you’ve blown my burger-loving mind… This time with a beautifully healthy burger! We enjoy chickpeas in every way, but I never thought to blend them with turkey to make a burger. It’s brilliant, and I can’t wait to try it! (Oh, and now I need to get that folding strainer, and that flexible spatula, and the potato masher that makes so much more sense than any of the ones I have! LOVE IT!) 🙂
