    May 17, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Finally. Gardening season is here! Time to get my hands dirty. Time to get planting. Time to create beautiful pots of flowers to pretty up the front porch. Time to get out the chicken wire to deter the bunnies. Hey, not everything about gardening is fun. 😉 Here are a…

    Turkey Tuesday: Turkey Ricotta Meatballs

    May 16, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I found another favorite turkey meatball recipe! I know, I know …. I kind of have a thing for turkey meatballs.  These are moist, flavorful, and hold up well – without being too firm. I most recently served them with an alfredo-marinara sauce over penne pasta, sprinkled with Asiago cheese.…

    I should’ve gone for a run tonight, but my mind wasn’t into it and my body felt tired. Rather than fight it, I decided to walk instead to help clear the clutter from my day. And you know what? My eyes suddenly opened up to my surroundings and realized my…

    Mother’s Day Weekend

    May 14, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I had way too much fun this weekend – starting with the fact that I took Friday off and turned it into a three-day weekend. Plus, the weather was GLORIOUS. It felt like summer – finally! Here’s a rundown of everything we packed into the last three days: Thursday night…

    Egg Recipe: Key Lime Angel Pie

    May 11, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I love key lime pie but I rarely make it. I have no idea why that is? And I’m bent on changing this ASAP. Key lime pie is everything we need in a summery dessert – plus it reminds me of an awesome trip we had with my brother’s family…

    New Recipes to Try Turkey

    May 10, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I am sitting in the Detroit airport right now, enjoying – really enjoying, actually – a little quiet time to reflect on the meeting I just attended. I’m tucked away near Gate 12, with no more than a handful of people around me and CNN running on the big screen above.  …

    Turkey & Gravy Noodle Bake

    May 9, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Today’s recipe for turkey and gravy noodle bake is courtesy of my Mom … and it is certainly a classic comfort dish. We talk a lot at my work about making sure people realize turkey isn’t just about the whole bird, mashed potatoes, and gravy. But sometimes you just need…

    Egg Recipe: Burger Eggstraordinaire

    May 8, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Put an egg on it, folks. That’s all I’ve got for you this time around. And yep, it’s that easy. 🙂 Actually, here’s a little story. I didn’t even know an egg on a burger was a THING until I went to Ireland in my early 30s. Teacher Man and…
