    Turkey Burgers with Cranberry-Apple Relish

    Happy Hump Day! I have a confession… With the wedding coming up, still in full force renovating Patrick’s and my home, traveling…I am just distracted. My life has been a bit of a whirl wind lately and because of that I have had to take a step back from things to try and remain sane. Having to not be involved in some of the things that I love to do! Which is really hard for me. Like this little blog here. She has gotten neglected. Not because I don’t love her so, I do! It’s just. My priorities have shifted a bit. Sheesh, why didn’t someone tell me that Weddings…

    Quinoa Turkey Meatballs

    Well hello! Good Wednesday morning to you all, hope your hump day is treating you well so far. October is going to prove to be a very busy month for Patrick and I, and I have to say I don’t know that I am super excited about it. I am feeling amazed that it is almost the end of September. Holy shmokes where has the time gone?? All of the things that are happening are SO exciting, however it is a jam packed month that is going to leave me feeling like I got spun around in circles. At the beginning of the month we have a friend that is…

    Thank you all for the Top 9 today! So nice of you all to have buzzed my post for my mom with the Cinnamon Chip Scones. 🙂 The Lenten season has begun…I have always taken part in Lent. Something my family and I have been doing ever since I can remember. Do you give anything up for Lent? I know a lot of people say they take Sundays “off” during Lent so they can indulge in that they gave up, I am not one of those people. I do stay away from meat on Fridays during Lent, but then again I don’t eat a lot of meat to begin with.…

    White Turkey Chili

    Well hello there. Finally got power back last night! That brings the total to 8 days without power. Still don’t have phone or cable at my house, so that has been interesting. Just lots of movie watching going on :-). Thank goodness the power is back though. There are still some people who do not have it, so I am lucky. Remember that chili cook-off I was telling you about? It happened the night of the horrible snowstorm we had. And guess what? (no not chicken butt Patrick) I won! The chili I am sharing with you today is award winning! Ok, well not really award winning, but I did…

    Jalapeno Turkey Burger and Baked Potato

    Once again another week comes and goes my friends. Another busy week has come and gone and I must say, I am pretty exhausted. But I can’t be!! I have rehearsal tonight for the next show that the dance company is in. We have 2 shows Saturday and I am sure they will go extremely well, I just need to get some energy in the next few hours before I jet off to rehearsal. 😛 Do you ever have one of those days where you just want a meal that is super comforting and satisfying? I had one of those nights and I wanted to make something that was going…

    Hello all! I am on Day 8 of the detox! I am trusting you are having a grand start to your week. Mine was not so grand, I have to admit. Work has been less than desirable for the past 2 days. Lots of issues and stress that has been really keeping me very very busy. I wanted to update you all on my progress! So far so good! We are still going strong and it is Day 8. I can’t believe that things are still going so well but they are. This weekend was very hard for me. I am used to baking on Saturday. That is normally my…

    I am 26 today! OH MY GOODNESS! Where on earth did the time go?? I definitely do not feel 26 that is for sure, well I take that back…sometimes after I work out or after dance rehearsal I feel like I am 26slash50. hehe 😉 A special thanks to all my family and friends for wishing me a Happy Birthday today, it means so much that you all think of me. Thank you, thank you!! 🙂 This past Christmas I got a panini maker in a Yankee Swap that happens every year. If you have never had a Yankee Swap, consider doing it with your family next Christmas. It is…

    Turkey Burgers

    I would just like to point out to all of you that there are 12 days until it is Christmas…ah! I know! Is it just me or does it feel like it was just Halloween? I mean don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas! I love winter and all that jazz, but it just seems to be going so fast. I think it feels like it isn’t winter time yet is because we have been having such warm weather here in CT. I mean today it is 49 degrees with rain! What the hell mother nature?! I am ready for snow and cold and sweaters and mittens. Can I plllleeeaaasseeee…
