You may or may not be stunned to know there are a ton of meatloaf recipes floating around the internet. This is good news for me because I am constantly searching for new meatloaf recipes to keep my old pup Nathan happy. When you’ve made a variety of meatloaf recipes, you come to realize there…

Ground Turkey Meatloaf
Well, folks, it’s back to meatloaf at our house. We had a good run with dog food for about a month or so. At first Nathan would eat the dog food with renewed veracity, but that veracity died down as the weeks passed and now he has informed me that he’s off dog food and…
{one pan} Sausage Patty and Fried Eggs Breakfast
At work we celebrated one of my coworker’s service anniversary (30 years) by going to Stacked in Huntington Beach. Everyone was drooling over the burger I built that had cheese, bacon, avocado, and tomato and was topped with a fried egg. (Some of my coworkers had never heard of having an egg on…
Shallot and Rosemary Sausage Patties
There’s something I love about breakfast sausage. I like almost every kind. Pork sausage. Chicken sausage. Turkey sausage. Sausage packed into a casing. Sausage without a casing. Ground sausage. What I never really eat is sausage patties and I’m not quite sure why. They’re basically like mini hamburgers you have at breakfast and I love…
Eggs and Breakfast Sausage in Pato Sauce
I once dated a guy whose mom would make eggs in Pato sauce for breakfast on Sundays. It was something I had never had but was a favorite of everyone in his family. Recently I found a recipe that reminded me a bit of the eggs in Pato Sauce at Lexi’s Clean Kitchen. Lexi’s recipe…
Fajita Style Ground Turkey Tacos
I resurrected an old recipe for Homemade Taco Seasoning last night and tonight set out to make some healthy ground turkey tacos. I normally don’t add much into taco meat besides meat and seasoning. Maybe some onion. But tonight I was inspired to add in some veggies. I’m not big on veggies so I need…
Southwest Shepherd’s Pie
I have an overwhelmingly large amount of ground turkey in my home. I bought two pounds today on sale at Smart & Final along with a pound of ground turkey breakfast sausage. When I came home I discovered I have four more pounds of ground turkey in my freezer. So I set out to find…
Pizza-Style Meatloaf
I have been obsessed with meatloaf recently. I don’t know why. I never ate it as a child. I never liked it. I don’t like ketchup in general and my generation grew up eating meatloaf with ketchup slathered on top. But I didn’t. I rejected anything that had ketchup on it. To this day, I…
Lightened Up Slopped-Up Spaghetti
When I was a kid, my grandma watched my sister and I quite often. She lived about a mile from the Catholic school where we attended grade school and I remember walking to her house after school or being dropped off there so she could watch me when I was sick. We would watch Days…
Taco Soup
One of the reasons I really like this soup is because it reminds me of one of the soups the day kitchen manager, Christine, used to make when I worked at the Wauwatosa Chancery.
Thanksgiving Day Shepherd’s Pie
This is probably the worst time of year to be living in temporary housing. It’s the holidays and I don’t have any of my own kitchen stuff to cook with. To improvise this year, I decided to put together a few dishes that required very little prep work. You gotta have turkey on Thanksgiving. It’s…
Spinach and Feta Turkey Burgers
My grandma and I have good taste. We both clipped this recipe from the Penzeys Spices magazine! I made these turkey burgers when my dad was in town (in an effort to eat “healthier” with him). I ate mine on Brioche Buns bought at the Portland Farmers Market (the buns were the BOMB) and topped…
Turkey Pesto Meatballs in Pesto Cream Sauce
Last weekend I made Herbed Meatloaf and ate all three pounds of it (with the help of a few coworkers and my boss) all week long, in preparation for the American Red Cross blood drive on Thursday. Traditionally I’m rejected 50% of the time I attempt to donate due to my blood iron level. I…
Turkey-Feta Meatballs
Dad eats a lot different when he’s at home in Wisconsin versus when he’s visiting me and Sis. Part of the reason is that we tend to eat out more when we’re together than we otherwise do. The other part of the reason is that I cook so much. I’ve been digging through the hundreds…
Triple Cheese Turkey and Sirloin Burger with Chipotle Mayo
I used leftover ground turkey and ground sirloin to make a turkey-sirloin burger. And it was tasty.
Turkey Burgers with White Cheddar Cheese, Sliced Avocado and Spicy Mayo
A whole new take on our usual turkey burger patties.
Pasta Bolognese
This dish is simply amazing. The best part? You can’t tell it’s loaded with veggies.
Spicy Chipotle Chili
After eating this dish, I decided I am in love with chipotle pepper.
Ground Turkey Stroganoff
My mom made this dish often throughout my childhood.
