Happy Mothers Day!!!

Happy Mothers Day to all Moms Everywhere, especially mine. I Love You Mom!

I love Mother's Day, mine usually starts with breakfast in bed, and homemade gifts from my children. We spend the day together, maybe a picnic in the mountains or a trip to the beach. I Love this special day with my kids and husband.
My Mom usually joins us, but this year she is going on a remote camping trip in the desert. There is no running water or electricity. My Mom loves nature and being out in it, but we will miss her on this Mother's Day. We will still have my Mom in Law to spend the day with us.
Celebrate the Moms in your life. Enjoy your weekend fellow Mom's.

Kale Chips

Homemade Kale Chips Try these @ home they are a fun finger food, that is a healthy snack for the entire family. INGREDIENTS 1 bunch of kale, washed and dried thoroughly olive oil, for drizzling sea salt, for sprinkling DIRECTIONS Preheat the oven to 275 degrees Remove the ribs from the kale and cut into chip size pieces. Lay on a baking sheet, make sure to not crowd, I used 2 rimmed baking sheets. Toss the kale with the olive oil and salt, I found this easier to use your hands to toss the kale to make sure each leaf was coated evenly. Bake until crisp, turning the leaves halfway through, about 20 minutes. Serve as finger food. Let me know how your family likes this one!!

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.
