Homemade Sloppy Joes

Every SINGLE time I make Sloppy Joes - I can't help but break out into the Adam Sandler, Lunch Lady song. It's seriously annoying and I know this, and I don't care. I usually mix in a little dancing, such as the running man, cabbage patch and my all time favorite: the sprinkler. So, needless to say, I enjoy making a Sloppy Joe dinner and I the kids, well...they wonder what the heck is wrong with me (this is potentially video making worthy, hmmmm).… Continue

Harvest Turkey Burgers

In an effort to eat healthier, we usually opt for Turkey Burgers in our house versus Ground Beef. Turkey has always been a bit tasteless to me, so I fell in love with the recipe from Rachel Ray that brings a lot of flavors to your otherwise boring Turkey Burger. You can serve it with all your favorites, I like putting them on Artisan Rolls with red-leafed lettuce, red onions and thousand island dressing. It is also great to eat protein style with no… Continue
