    Turkey Tuesday: Creamy Turkey Ham Pasta Bake

    March 1, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Turkey Tuesday is back, baby! I’ve missed a few weeks because of work commitments and my travel schedule, but I’m excited to share a new turkey pasta recipe that I tried over the weekend. It’s another comfort food entree (I know, I know – of course!) that Teacher Man and…

    Weekend Snaps | I Miss You Guys!

    February 28, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Oh my word, I absolutely can’t stand it when I don’t have the time to blog regularly.  If you follow me on Facebook, then you may have caught this picture I took last week – captioned, “What I feel like when I don’t have time to blog!”  And it’s true.…

    How I Met Teacher Man

    February 14, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    My mother gave me many good pieces of advice as I was growing up. I’d like to think I followed her direction on most occasions; that her insight has, in part, gotten me where I am today. There is one piece of advice, however, that I didn’t follow and it was…

    High Five for Friday!

    February 11, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’m torn about being super excited it’s almost the weekend and super panicked because – oh my God, it’s the weekend but I have about a zillion things to do at work between now and mid-March and how in the world is it all ever going to get done? Did…

    Chinese Chicken Wings

    February 6, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    You know what constitutes a nearly perfect Saturday for me? (Besides the Chinese Chicken Wings recipe below – ha!) No schedule. Getting a morning run in. Grocery shopping and the obligatory trip to Target. A blog post. Early happy hour. And cooking a fun meal at home for my boys.…

    Turkey Tuesday: Easy Turkey Pot Pie

    February 2, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    This is the funniest coincidence, actually. My mom texted me over the weekend, showing me this gorgeous photo of her turkey pot pie. I asked her to send me the recipe and she emailed me the exact newspaper clipping I had saved many years ago. This is my go-to turkey…

    February 1, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    You know what makes me happy right now? The Good Wife – Good grief do I love this show. It’s smart, funny, emotional … and the music is kick ass. I watch very few other network television shows, but I rarely miss this one.  Bitmoji – Have you checked out this free…
