One to many prunes
Ok, so I swore that I would never be the mom to discuss my childs bowel movements all over the internet..but this one was the poops of all poops! I am guessing that this mama got a little carried away with the prunes..and well, today, of course as I am just getting ready to leave the house I pick the poopy princess up to discover that we have a "up the back" situation going on:) But this isn't just an over the diaper situation, maybe staining the top of her shirt..oh no, this is an all the way up to the neck situation! oh my, it was nasty:) I was going to get my camera, but it just wasn't going to happen:)! So yes, it always works out that its when i am running late, or all by myself;) So I think for a few days, this mama is going to lay off giving her baby the prunes and will trust that her bowels are working just fine;)

Indian Summer Turkey Chili
SO considering it feels like an indian Summer out there right now...ok, well maybe not that warm, but it sure is beautiful I thought I would try this one last night! I guess Tuesday is officialy my recipe adventure night! So here you go..another big hit in our house! I served it over rice, and topped it with sour cream and cheese. I probably will add more hot sauce and chilli next time cause we like heat, and it is a sweeter chilli with the bbq sauce and such..but the great part about it is you can adjust the heat as you like! enjoy...we sure did!!!!
Ingredients:
2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
1 1/4 ground turkey breast
3 tbsp of dark chilli powder
1 tbs of Grill season(we use McCormicks Montreal steak)
1 tbsp of ground cumin
2 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp of hot sauce
1 large yellow onion
2 bell peppers(I used one red one orange)
3/4 cup of beer..oh and a little swig for you while you cook:)*grin*
1 28 once can of tomato sauce or tomato puree
1/2 cup smokey barbeque sauce
1 cup of frozen corn kernels
Directions
Heat a pot over medium hight heat. Add the EVOO and the ground turkey. Season the meat with the chili poswer, grill seasoning, cumin, worcestershire, and hot sauce. Break up the meat with the back of a wodden spoon into small crumbles.
Chop the onion, reserving one quarter of it for topping the chili.(chop the reserve onion extra fine). Brown the meat for 5 minutes, than add the onion and bell peppers and cook 10 more minutes. Add the beer and deglaze the pan, scraping up the drippings and cooking off the alcohol. Add the tomato sauce or puree, bbq sauce, and corn and bring the chili to a bubble. Let the chili simmer for 10 minutes. Adjust the sasonings and heat level to your taste. Remove from heat and serve with your choice of toppers.

Korean BBQ Flank Steak and sour slaw salad
Here is fantastic dish I made last night from my new cookbook:)! I try to make it my plan to try one new recipe a week..so this was this weeks! Its got some heat, so if you like hot and spicy foods this one is for you! Delish!!!
Ingredients
1 tbsp of McCormicks Meontreal steak seasoning
1/4 tamari(Dark aged soy sauce)
2. tbsp of honey
2 tsp of red pepper flakes
4 large garlic cloves
2 tsp of seasame oil
Vegetable oil for drizzling(I use Extra virgin olive oil)
2 pound flank steaks(I used striplion)
Cabbage(I used the coleslaw mix)
1/2 red pepper
salt
Directions
In a shallow dish, combine the grill seasoning, tamari, 1 tbsp of the honey, 1 tsp of the red pepper flakes, half the chopped garlic, the sesame oil, and a drizzle of oil. Couat the steaks and let stand for 10 minutes.
Preheat an indoor grill, a stovetop grill pan, or an outdoor grill to medium heat. When the grill pan or grill is screaming hot add the meat and cook for 5 min on each side for medium rare or 7 to 8 minute on each side for medium well.
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tbsp of the oil, the coleslaw mix, and the pepper. Season with salt and stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Add a drizzle of the honey, the remaining red pepper flakes, and the remaining garlic and toss to combine with the cabbage.
To serve, let the meat rest for 5 minutes for juices to redistribute. thinly slice the meat on the heavy angle against the grain, pile of the slaw, top with the sliced korean steak and serve.
I also made risotto to go with it because i love my carbs..its was delish, oh, and a fantastic glass of red wine isn't to shabby either t0 add on the side;)

Post three of the day!
Ok, so apparently I have lots to share:) Scroll down for two other post that I posted today..just some fun ones! This post is to warm a mama's heart. If you need encouragment today, if you feel like your job is worthless, or you feel worthless, please read the lyrics to this Steven Curtis Chapman song..and be blessed!
You’re up all night with a screaming baby You run all day at the speed of life
And every day you feel a little bit less like the beautiful woman you are
So you fall into bed when you run out of hours and you wonder if anything worth doing got done Well maybe you just don’t know or maybe you’ve forgotten
That you, you are changing the worldone little heartbeat at a time
Making history with every touch and every smile
Oh you, you may not see it now but I believe that time will tell
how you, you are changing the worldone little heartbeat at a time
With every, “I know you can do it”and every tear that you kiss away
So many little things that seem to go unnoticed
they’re just like the drops of rainover time, they become a river
And you, you are changing the worldone little heartbeat at a time
Making history with every touch and every smil
eOh you, you may not see it nowbut I believe that time will tell
how you, you are changing the worldone little heartbeat at a time
You’re beautiful, so beautifulhow you’re changing the world,
yeah you’re changing the worldYou,
you are changing the worldone little heartbeat at a time
Making history with every touch and every smile
Oh you, you may not see it nowbut I believe that time will tell how
you, you are changing the worldI believe that you, you are changing the world
one little heartbeat at a time
You’re up all night with a screaming baby You run all day at the speed of life
And every day you feel a little bit less like the beautiful woman you are
So you fall into bed when you run out of hours and you wonder if anything worth doing got done Well maybe you just don’t know or maybe you’ve forgotten
That you, you are changing the worldone little heartbeat at a time
