Turkey Loaf

This is a good easy meal, and EXTREMELY cheap (like maybe $3). Turkey Loaf.

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 box of stuffing (I like the "cornbread" variety)
• 3 slices of bread (I like to use a rye or wheat)
• 1/3 cup of chicken stock
• Olive Oil
• Salt and Peppa

Combine the turkey, stuffing, bread (tear it up into quarter sized chunks), and chicken stock. Use your hands and really get in there, it takes some effort to get all the bread absorbed, add more stock if needed. On a well sprayed baking sheet form the turkey mixture into a "loaf" like shape, about 3 inches high and wide. Drizzle the olive oil over it, and sprinkle salt and pepper on top. This makes it all nice and crusty. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes, I always like to use my meat thermometer to make sure it's at least 160 degrees internal temperature. I like bloody meat - but NOT bloody turkey. Use your bread knife to cut, top with a white gravy. (I make mine out of the same chicken stock.)

CheesePANcake

Today in an attempt to bake a cheesecake - I invented something new. I read a recipe in a magazine that I had been wanting to try, I swore it said 4 ounces of cream cheese, but it really said 4 packages of cream cheese. 4 packages of cream cheese equals 32 ounces. So I used only an eighth of what I really needed. It turned out very flat - so I call it cheesePANcake.

Mine came, they are awesome...took about 3 weeks.

Frosting

How yummie is this? Red Velvet cake with butter frosting. I know, I live way too north to be eating red velvet cake, but there is something about it I just love.

The secret is the frosting...make it with real butter. Not that low-carb, no sugar, no salt, reduced fat, Atkins friendly crap. But feel free to use the Wal-mart brand. 1 stick of butter to at least 3 cups of powder sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla and a tablespoon of steaming hot water. Stir it till there is no chunks left. Your arm will get tired, but you need the exercise to burn off all the calories you are about to eat.

Shirt Bag

Today I was getting crafty! I hate it when I go shopping at Wal-mart or where ever, and you get all those plastic bags! Some are alright, I use them in my little trash cans, but I always have way too many of them, and you can't recycle them, so they just end up taking up trash space. So I am taking all my old tshirts that I never really wore to start with (you know, the ones you get free like this one for getting a Sprint phone). I turned it inside out and sewed the bottom part closed. Cut off the sleeves and a larger hole where the neck was, and that's all. It took me longer to thread my sewing machine than it did to make!

Shirt bag fits well in my purse and I don't have to deal with all those nasty plastic bags.

*******UPDATE**********

My husband thinks this I am crazy for using these bags, bug I don't care. I used them all last weekend, and got no crazy looks. And I was watching for them!

Spiral Frog

Check out this web-site, Spiral Frog. It offers free music downloads to lots and lots of songs (old and new). The music is free because it's supported by sold ads, and the download time is speedy. It downloads in .wma format, which is not compatible with Ipods or Zunes, but if you are smart you can convert these in to .mp3s. This site definitely gets a "FABULOUS FIND" rating in my book!
