Too Darn Easy...

This dinner is so easy, I don't know if it really even counts as "cooking." I was thawing a package of ground turkey, wondering what to do with it, when my husband suggested Sloppy Joes for dinner. Brilliant!

Sloppy Joes

1 lb. ground turkey
1/3 of a large onion, minced
1 T. butter
2/3 to 3/4 c. BBQ sauce (your choice)
1/2 c. water
bread or hamburger buns

1. In large skillet, sauté onion in butter until slightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
2. Place ground turkey in pan and cook until browned.

3. Add onion back in, along with BBQ sauce and about half a cup of water. Mix well and allow to simmer—to soften onions and blend flavors—until some of the water evaporates.
4. Serve on buns with tater tots on the side (a better/healthier choice than potato chips or French fries, believe it or not).

GONE!

The first flower of spring!

A little blurry, yes, but this is the first little bloom that has come up in my front flower bed. It's a viola, which is one of my very favorite flowers. Isn't it adorable?

Violas and pansies always look happy, in my opinion. It's hard for me to look at a viola or pansy and not smile. So I just thought I'd share this little bit of spring with you.

I hope it makes you smile too.
