    Turkey Tuesday: Fajita Turkey Burgers

    June 2, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Turkey Tuesday is baaaaack, people, with Fajita Turkey Burgers! Truth be told, I felt downright guilty for not posting my usual turkey recipe the past two Tuesdays. (I’m very good at the self-guilt process.) But life happens – and I just didn’t have a lot of time to prep a…

    June is Turkey Lovers Month!

    June 1, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Hey ya’ll, it’s June is Turkey Lovers Month! What? You didn’t know? Wow, that’s weird, but no worries. It’s not as famous – yet – as June is Dairy Month, but we’re working on that. And I think dairy and turkey make a great combination, actually. What’s not to love?…

    Sunday Round-Up.

    May 31, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Another weekend is almost in the books. And it’s June 1 tomorrow. Whaaaaat? Do you know what this means? It means that by Friday, I will officially have one husband and one son out of school for the summer. Both are fairly excited about this prospect. Me? Well, it’s all…

    Memorial Day Weekend.

    May 25, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    So the unofficial start to summer – Memorial Day weekend – is nearly over. The sun came out on Friday and tonight, but in between it was cloudy, cool, and rainy in Minnesota. (I give you Exhibit A above – a look at my brother’s shed on the farm from…

    Sunday Night Rituals.

    May 17, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Sunday nights almost always mean two things to my family: 1) Dairy Queen Blizzards for the boys. Oreo for Joe and peanut butter cups for Teacher Man. Always. Sometimes a Blizzard for me, too, but sometimes not – depends totally on what I feel like. And if I do have…

    High Five for Friday … Garden Variety.

    May 15, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s Friday and I’m feeling particularly energetic today because I took the day off. I clearly needed to mentally check out from work for a few hours – a “little” something called avian flu remains on everyone’s mind here in Minnesota so I think it’s fair to say our work…

    Turkey Tuesday – Turkey A La King

    May 12, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’m so old school when it comes to recipes. And comfort food. In May. Which is why I bring you Turkey A La King, one of my old school faves! I know this may seem like an odd recipe to post in May. It’s spring, after all, and this is…

    Mom’s Best Blueberry Coffee Cake

    May 10, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Happy Mother’s Day! Since we had just seen my mom last weekend at the farm for a little pre-Mother’s Day get-together, we stayed a little closer to home the last couple of days. Well, kind of. Okay, not really. Friday night was cool but lovely – no wind! – so…
