Slumber Party

My daughter is 8 years old already. Since she is such a big girl we decided she could have her first slumber party! Check out the invites, inspired by www.tinyprints.com



cousin Kerry : Turkey Burgers

No one will ever know how simple and healthy these burgers are. They look just like a burger and taste great!


Just mix ground turkey with butternut squash and cook on frying pan.


TIP: Use more ground turkey than butternut squash or they will be soggy.

TIP: Add a little worcester for  "real meat" flavor

Cousin Kerry : Tex Mex Chili

two for one: I saved a little ground turkey on the side to make turkey burgers for the kids dinner that night. My daughter really like this chili though. She topped hers with yogurt and fresh salsa (diced tomato, onion, cilantro)
  • onion/garlic clove diced
  • mushroom diced
  • ground turkey
  • red wine
  • large can crushed tomatoes
  • tomato sauce
  • anaheim chili pepper roasted then diced
  • large can of hominy (about 1/3 can)
  • can of beans (pinto, kidney, black) only 1/4 of each 
TIP: freeze the rest of the beans and hominy for next time

  • spices: garlic salt, black pepper, cumin, cinnamon, bay leaf
  1. sauteé onions and mushrooms in olive oil
  2. season ground turkey with spices then add
  3. deglaze with red wine (or beer)
  4. add crushed tomatoes, peppers, hominy, beans, tomato sauce and bay leaf
  5. simmer.
