Tasty Turkey burger

In my journey to get healthy I have given up most red meat.. I have turned to ground chicken or ground turkey. From my research from various online sources I have found that ground Turkey is better as far as low calories and ground chicken is a better source of protein.

However, you are better off if you buy whole chicken or Turkey breast and grind it yourself. Because the dark meat is just as…

Air-Fryed Chicken and home fries...

Air-Fryed Chicken and home fries…

In this busy world, we are all quick to stop at any of the hundreds of fast food restaurants, or order food to be delivered. Did you know that you can make a quick and cheap meal in just 25 min, for half the cost of a fast food meal. Which is about the same time that it would take most of those delivery services to deliver your food.

This meal cost me a total of $8.00 to make, on average for me…

What would people say....

What would people say….

Do you live? Or do you just exist? At the end of the day can you sit back and feel good about what you accomplished? Or is it a feeling of yep another day done.

Imagine if you were to die today, what would people say? I imagine my eulogy would be something like:she was a big hearted person, loving mother, daughter, wife, and sister. She worked hard for what little she had. And never gave up when…

My brother is different, but I love him…

“My brother is different, but I love him.”

I recently sat down with my 8 year old daughter and asked her if she understood why her Brother is like he is. I think some time parents get so wrapped up in the child who needs that extra help, that we forget how it affects the other children.

She told me that she knew that had Autism and he was special. She loved him very much, but it was very…

My brain won’t let me sleep…

It’s 2am, and once again I am wide awake. My mind running around and not letting me sleep. Do I feel tired? Well yeah, I had a long day with work and home life. Sooo why can’t I sleep?

Teething jewelry... Are they dangerous?

Teething jewelry… Are they dangerous?

I recently read a news article about the dangers of using teething jewelry. The news story basically is saying that the use of these teething necklaces and bracelets are dangerous because it is a chocking hazard.

My issue is just this… Unsupervised everything and anything is a choking hazard to a small child. This is just common sense. It states that you should not let your child sleep with the…
