Grammy's Old World Turkey Casserole

This is my Mother in laws recipe for turkey and cabbage casserole. She makes it with instant white rice, and cambells condensed tomato soup. You could defiantly make this healthier by using brown rice and your own tomato sauce topping, for our family we make it just like Grammy does.

Ingredients
1 lb. ground turkey
1 Cup instant rice
1 small head of cabbage, chopped
1 can instant cambells tomato soup
1 medium onion, chopped

Directions

Brown the turkey and chopped onions, adding salt and pepper to taste. Once the turkey and onions are done cooking remove from the heat and stir in the instant rice.
In a large casserole add chopped cabbage to the bottom, then place the turkey and rice mixture, top with the can of soup, spreading it on top of the entire casserole, finally add a can of water.
Bake uncovered @350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

Had it for dinner last night and leftovers for my lunch today! Mm, mm. But I've come to substitute the high-sugar Campbell's with my own organic tomato soup brand. Shhh.

Chicken Ceasar Salad Burrito This is a quick and easy weeknight meal your whole family will like. First you need to grill chicken breasts. I do this on my inside stovetop griddle. Second you need Ceasar Salad. You can buy the bag of ready to go caesar salad, or as in my case use fresh romaine lettuce with a bottled Ceasar Dressing with your favorite croutons. I used white flour tortillas from Trader Joes, (my family prefers them to the whole wheat), use what your family likes. Layer the Ceasar Salad in the tortilla, top with sliced chicken breast. Roll the tortilla around the salad and chicken. Enjoy! My daughter calls these green burritos.

As clients of Functionetiks you all have a designated time each day that you work on your function. Your individualized menu. This is amazing and makes everything you do for the rest of the day a bit more functional. How functional can you be if you spend the majority of the day sitting? It wasn't long ago in our history of humans that our survival was determined by our ability to move. As humans we are designed to move; we can walk, run, jump, climb, carry heavy objects etc... In the past we did not have to think about it movement was built into our day. Today our modern life dictates that we sit. So I challenge you to change that, think of ways to increase movement throughout the day. Stand up when you are working on your computer (stand on both feet with weight equal) Sit down on t...
