Pesto Parmesan Turkey Burger & Meal Planning Monday!
If you think that turkey burgers are dry and have no flavor, I am here to prove you wrong. I know I’ve mentioned that I steer more towards turkey/fish/chicken over beef, so I am no stranger to a turkey burger.

Meal Planning Monday & a Little On Organics
Wow did this week go by fast! I can’t believe it’s already Sunday and time to plan meals. I’ll have to admit I am going to be a bit lazy this week on my meal planning. I attempted grocery shopping on Saturday along with the rest of the people on post. Super irritating. Everyone was…

If you haven’t done your shopping for the 4th, here are some recipes to give you some ideas apart from the usual burgers & hot dogs. We have decided to test out our new smoker with a brisket! One, we’ve never smoked anything. Two, never cooked brisket. Being from Texas, it is very important to…
