MORE TURKEY BURGERS

It is really unfortunate for my "loyal readers" that I have commited myself to a cooking blog, but have somehow lost my motivation to cook.  I would have never expected this, but it is true.  I find myself battling demons that say things like "pop a frozen pizza in the oven" or "heat up a microwave meal for RL".  I most certainly obey these orders at times which is simply the reality of life.  I have no problem with these foods, I just feel guilty about serving them to RL.  These are the types of foods she is served at school (understandably), therefore, I feel it is my duty to provide fresh and less processed food at home.

One of the problems with being a full-time working mom that also maintains part-time chef and housekepper employment, is the time available to have fun.  I am admittedly jealous of the time D gets to spend with RL when I am in the kitchen creating master pieces for the family's enjoyment.  I miss out on that very little weekday time slot before the dinner, bath, bedtime routine begins.

Changes are on the horizon, I am just not sure what they will be.  I need a new meal plan.  I am leaning toward giving the Once a Month cooking a try. 

One of my go to meals at all times is a good ole turkey burger.  It's such an easy choice since you can cook them from frozen. I plopped them straight on the grill. 

I chose a ranch and parmesan flavor and seasoned with ranch powder and dried chives and then melted grated parm cheese.

Mushrooms are cheap at this time of year, so I try to use them often.

 I know....so exciting.  :(

RL has been sick, therefore, we have spent sometime at home.  Welcome to my home....

 We have continued to stick to our "directive play" plan and typically do something everyday.  Here is a dance party we had during music play.

Put your hands up! Put your hands up! Woot! Woot!
