    Toddler Time!

    March 29, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    We spent time with our niece, Miss Morgan, on Saturday and Sunday morning. She’s just over 15 months and quite the little toddler now. Tonight, as I was going through all the photos I took, I realized I had captured quite a few different looks. So tonight, I bring you…

    Does USA Today know how your chicken got to the table? (No, they don’t.)

    March 26, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Honestly. Sometimes I just want to watch House Hunters on HGTV and not worry about the demise of critical thinking in this world. But no, invariably something happens to mess up the best of plans. Like this USA Today opinion piece that was posted last night: “Know how that chicken…

    Turkey Tuesday: Turkey Enchiladas

    March 24, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s time for another Turkey Tuesday recipe, folks! And this one for Turkey Enchiladas is a sure-fire winner because 1) I taste-tested it on our good friends, Teresa and Scot, who came over for dinner last Saturday; and 2) it’s a version of a Pioneer Woman recipe. If you know…

    High Five for Friday | Or How Laziness Ensues

    March 20, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I figure it was 16 hours tops. That’s how much sleep I got total on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights.  Some people don’t need 7-8 hours of sleep a night, but I happen to not be one of those people. This is why it would be more than a slight understatement…

    The weekend before … the big week.

    March 14, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    When I leave the house on Monday morning, I will be heading into Saint Paul for what is easily my busiest week of the year. It’s almost time for the 2015 Midwest Poultry Federation Convention, an event our office spends months planning for and the thing that accounts for probably…

    Sunday Night Summation

    March 8, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    You guys. It’s supposed to hit 55 degrees tomorrow. 55 degrees! That makes Monday seem almost … celebratory. But first, a quick recap of the past week: My post on Wednesday – Food Shaming – went fairly ballistic for me and I was excited to see it shared by so…

    Food Shaming.

    March 4, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Well, that was stupid of me. I woke up this morning, was checking Facebook on my phone (don’t judge me), and came across an article link that screamed, “10 Processed Foods to Never Feed Your Kids,” posted on the website Mamavation.com. Of course I clicked into it. I could say…

    Turkey Tuesday: Turkey Salad Sandwiches

    March 3, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Here’s why this classic, pretty simple Turkey Salad Sandwich recipe is going to be your go-to from now on: I have always loved a really good chicken salad sandwich, but I’m also super picky. (Um, yes, as much as I hate to admit it, there is likely a reason my…
