So I've been MIA.. .a lot has happened since my last post so lets start with the easy stuff. For 1 business is good with PPBN and I recently got back into Life coaching, an addition to my repertoire you will likely see take shape here. Probably the biggest news is that I'm now a mother of 3. After my miscarriage and swearing I wasn't strong enough to go through another emotional and on edge pregnancy I discovered I was pregnant in April of 2013.
What a roller coaster that was. I am however happy to report that 2 weeks early but not a moment too soon, my gorgeous baby boy was born November 30. He is a gift I never knew I needed and I've never been so in love with anyone. For me it was like a gift, like a greater good saying, you ARE strong enough, you CAN do this, and HERE you go. 9 months have never passed both so slow and so fast. My second rainbow baby. Unfortunately the day I found out was the day after my grandfather took his own life. That scenario no matter how much psychology you study, how many crisis classes you take, how many people you know that have been through it, NOTHING can prepare you for that situation. 2013 was a year where we lost greatness and gained awareness. Awareness for the precious things, that in darkness it is easier to see the smaller lights and that rainbows do come after the biggest storms. I learned that anger really is the best defense, not the most appropriate but definitely the easiest and I taught myself how to control it. How to channel those feeling in and to express them toward something deserving of my focus. I learned how to be a better person. This blog will grow, take on new shape, redirect it's path and I hope you will follow with me.

Turkey Salisbury Steak! EASY. (sooo much better than beef)
So I LOVE comfort foods. Anything hot, cozy, hearty and preferably smothered in gravy. So of course Salisbury steak is a natural romance for me. I love it, the part I love is how soft it is and easy to eat, I don't like all the fat from the ground beef. Grease and gravy isn't really what I am going for.
So of course I had to try my hand at reinventing it with ground turkey instead.

What you need:
1 large egg
1/2 c milk
1 TBSP fresh parsley
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
2 cups of stuffing cubes (those unseasoned crouton things)
1 lb of ground turkey
2 tbsp butter
1 pack of brown gravy mix
1.5 c of water
OPTIONAL (1/2 c mushroom slices, 1/4 chopped yellow onion)
1. In a medium bowl combine egg, milk, parsley, salt and onion powder. Add stuffing cubes and toss. 2. Then let them sit for 5 minutes until softened and when you stir there isn't a lot of crunch.
3. Add ground turkey and combined well.
4. Form 6 palm size balls, roll oblong and flatten. Should be an oval shape almost the size of your hand
5. In a large skillet over med-high heat add butter then add patties. (if you are adding mushrooms/onion add them now) Brown each side for 5 minutes or so, then reduce heat to low.
6. Mix brown gravy and water then add to skillet pouring over the steaks. Heat on low for about 10-12 minutes flipping once until gravy has formed.
