    Turkey Tuesday: Luau Turkey Tacos

    January 20, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Tuesday is just made for Luau Turkey Tacos, I think! And before we get to that, let me say I’m super excited to share with you that I’m now part of Jennie-O Turkey Store’s “Switch Circle” group of bloggers! It’s a completely natural fit, right? I mean, if you are…

    High Five for Friday!

    January 16, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s Friday night and I’m almost headed out the door to have a little dinner out with my boys, Joe and Teacher Man. Joe is, oddly enough, finishing his homework now because he told me he “doesn’t want this hanging over his head all weekend.” Who is this boy? The week…

    January 13, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    This week’s Turkey Tuesday recipe post is Hashbrown Turkey Ham Quiche – one of my family’s favorites. This all ties into my one of my blogging goals for 2015, which is to more regularly blog great recipes that use turkey.  There is an excellent variety of turkey products available now…

    Salted Caramel Brownies

    January 11, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Anyone watching the Golden Globes right now? It’s a guilty pleasure of mine – although, truth be told, I think I like the pre-show red carpet coverage the best. Dresses, jewels, heels, tuxes … all that fanciness to watch and, let’s be honest, judge just a little bit! And of…

    High Five For Friday!

    January 9, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    This has been a tough week. I won’t get into details, but suffice it to say, my entire work week was turned upside down so what I expected to get done early this week, didn’t happen. That left me playing catch-up, which this time of year, is a scary prospect.…

    Christmas in the Country – Gift Exchange 2014

    January 3, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    This holiday season I participated in the Christmas in the Country gift exchange with a bunch of bloggers from all over the U.S. Each blogger was given another blogger from a different part of the country to send a gift to – and it was all done in secret, so the…

    Keeping Turkeys Warm and Happy.

    December 30, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It was back to work for me this week, as I enjoyed a little calm in the office before the storm known affectionately as “January-through-March.” Most people assume November (Thanksgiving) is my busiest time working for Minnesota Turkey, but the truth is, we’re busy all year long – and especially…

    Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

    December 24, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s Christmas Eve and we’re packing up to hit the road. We don’t travel too far – just a couple of hours to Teacher Man’s family later today and then on Christmas Day, we head to my parents’ farm, another three hours or so. On Friday, we will eventually wind…
