Sloppy Joes...new and improved

Here's a Monday funny I lost a windshield wiper driving down I-95 today...while it was raining. Praise the Lord it was the passenger side. I'm praying this is no hint of how the rest of my week will be.


Okay so we all know of man which right delicious when you were a kid but now maybe not to much. Well I found a recipe for Grown up sloppy joes! And they are super easy and super delicious...here's the recipe

You will need:
1lb ground turkey( or chicken)
3 large carrots washed and peeled
1 yellow onion chopped
1 small can of organic Tomato paste
3/4 cup water
Oregano
Cumin
Pepper
Paprika
Chili powder
Cilantro
2 tbs honey
And of course buns...I went with Rudis while wheat organic they are good.


Okay so first,
shred the carrots I use a potato peeler and Chop the onion
-toss them in a skillet with a little bit of grape seed or olive oil.
-sautée them until the onions are transparent(kinda see through)
-add the turkey and brown it
-add the spices
-mix it all up
- in the mean time take the tomato paste and mix it with the water and cilantro(I forgot the cilantro an it was still good)
-once its all mixed add it to the meat and veggies
-add the honey
-serve on the buns (toast if ya want or refrigerate for later)

See, so so easy...side dishes
Corn on the cob
Or a salad
Fruit

***with the spices I just added what my personal preference is for amounts but if you want a gauge 1-2 tsp per***
Enjoy!!!!

It's exhausting being fabulous

Rachel came to visit! Best surprise of the summer!!!

Okay so I've been really really really lacking on the whole blog thing. No excuses this time, simple fail. I am going to make a more conscious effort to post more now and stop being lazy. In the past few months I haven't been up to much other than work and traveling to see friends and family.



Me & the man friend



Bridesmaids!!!

This past weekend was Danielle's wedding shower so I got to see all the best friends minus mad and Rana...(we missed you). The shower was so fun we played games, ate way too much food, and drank mimosas, sangria, and Bellinis...yum. Oh and present of course. Labor day we are having a getaway Bachelorette in SC hosted by the awesome MOH, Kelsey. She and her mom definitely paid their dues this weekend along with olive, britt, and em.



Austin, TX

These activities are so nice because it brings everyone together and we always always have fun. Tomorrow everyone is back to work and school. Good luck! I get to drive back to NC tomorrow were getting ready for the field(terrible camping) for a week.

In the mean time I'm gonna post some recipes this week of some good food...I've been makin more of an effort to eat and COOK lately. I bold cook because it's not as easy as it seems when you work 12-14 hour days and have no one to cook for...
I'm also getting back on the exercise horse. I had to take a month off due to a foot injury and am back as of the 24th of August! (this only added to my laziness)
Wine n paint with Kinsey!
Anywho, I hope everyone had a great Sunday funday! Keep your fingers crossed that mad can come to the wedding in October! I miss you!


And as always...Stay Fabulous!
