Raspberry Jam

Oh- Its August and kids go back to school. And you know there was a really great sell on Raspberries. I bought a case and used 1/2 of them for some Jam. Just the regular recipe on the Pectin. Nice new jars (lids are polished nickel now how sweet)
I was surprised that I got 9 jars out of the batch.

Roasting Red Peppers

I went to a cooking class and one of the extra things she did was Roast a Red Pepper on a gas stove. Turn it and let it turn black. Top to Bottom and place in a brown paper bag to cool down and eat it later. My husband thought that was crazy but he ate it along with my daughter. Sure quite a few of us missed out on this dish.

Turkey Mini Burgers

Ok, This was good. When children eat things up that is a good sign that they like it.
How quick and easy these are to make too.

Turkey Mini Burgers

Buy one package of soft rolls from the bakery (8 count)
You will need:
1 pkg. 1 lb. ground turkey
2 green onions diced
Mix together and form patties about a large scoop dropper did the trick.
Next fry them in a pan & top with cheese to melt. so cut a regular slice of cheddar cheese into four servings.
Cut rolls and spread one side with mayo (I love best foods) top with a lettuce leaf, put turkey burger ontop and place a pickle slice on top and a small cherry tomato so it pops open.

Easy Spinach Pasta

go ahead and use some.)

Incredible Spreadable Butter!

I always like buying the spreadable butters and margarines but go through them way too fast. Well, I came across this and it works well.
So-You need to try this...

Incredible Spreadable Butter

1 stick salted butter (just out of the fridge works)
1/3 cup canola oil

Use an electric mixer- whip the butter on high til its fluffed up.
Slowly add oil. Add while mixer in on medium. Scrape down sides. Put
mixture in container allow to chill. Overnight is best!

Dig in- whipping & adding canola oil to your butter produces more butter for
the buck and butter that is lower in saturated fat.

Absolutely, adore her and yes she is growing up too fast. She loves to take pictures with my phone.(Alot of Max)So while were waiting for her bus to come I asked her if I could take our picture to put on my blog. Oh yes! She was delighted.
