    Turkey Tuesday: Mexican Turkey Corn Chowder

    September 29, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Tuesday isn’t over yet, folks, so there’s still time to sneak in a Turkey Tuesday recipe with Mexican Turkey Corn Chowder! The calendar this time of year has a pretty typical effect on me – October gets closer and suddenly I crave soup, chili and comfort foods (all while I’m wearing boots and…

    So I guess it’s my birthday.

    September 25, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I turned 47 yesterday. This is not, by the way, meant to be a big announcement of my birthday, although I suppose it kind of seems that way. Gifts completely optional, I promise. If you are (much) younger than this, you might automatically assume this means I’ve got my adult act…

    A September Sunday.

    September 20, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Before I get to Sunday, I must share some Saturday photos. Yes, I know. This doesn’t quite match up with the title of this post, but hey – work with me here. For us, Saturday meant watching our niece, Miss Morgan, while her parents worked. And let me tell you,…

    High Five For Friday!

    September 18, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s been a long while since I’ve written a Friday post, but I’m feeling inclined this morning to get a head start on the weekend. We don’t have big plans – just a little babysitting of our niece, Miss Morgan, tomorrow (yay!) and then catching up on life, otherwise known…

    Turkey Tuesday: Buffalo-Blue Cheese Turkey Burgers

    September 15, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I was totally craving a really good turkey burger today, so I made sure I had the ingredients and made Buffalo-Blue Cheese Turkey Burgers tonight. Teacher Man wasn’t home from school yet (he had parent open house tonight) and Joe was completely starving at 4:45 p.m. (so weird for an…

    Middle School.

    September 9, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    This guy started middle school – 6th grade! – yesterday. He didn’t seem overly nervous about it. Yes, he was a little anxious, declaring it seemed awkward to walk down to the end of the street by himself to catch the bus. (He actually has never ridden the bus to elementary school; I…

    Pasta with Garden Veggies & Turkey Sausage

    September 8, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Today I bring you … Pasta with Garden Veggies & Turkey Sausage! I know, real creative name. And I call myself a writer? đŸ™‚ Okay, so the reason for the somewhat vague-ish name is because I adapted this recipe from something Giada (yes, the Giada) calls “Round and Round Pasta.” It’s…

    Our State Fair Traditions.

    September 7, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’m going to admit something to you. Growing up, my family didn’t seem like we were really a “State Fair” kind of family. We didn’t go every year. We weren’t in 4-H so we didn’t have anything to show. We didn’t really miss the fair if we didn’t go. In Minnesota,…
