Crock pot Turkey and Veggie Spaghetti with grape tomato and minced garlic muffin



I was really in the mood for Spaghetti. I usually make mine from scratch but I used what I had and it turned out yummy!
1 package of 93/7 Ground Turkey. I believe it was the 1#.
1/4 White or yellow onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic chopped or minced
Few dashes of garlic pepper
2 handfuls of spinach
1 yellow squash
3-5 handfuls of broccoli slaw ( I have a big bag and needed to get rid of it, but I really liked it).
**Use whatever veggies you have or like, don't be afraid to try something!
1/4 C Diced Italian tomatoes (All I had. I just had a little left from night before. You can use a whole can).
1 Jar Classico Mushroom and Ripe Olive ( I always like to keep on hand a jar of sauce. I use Fooducate App and Classico is graded good but there are better ones).

Brown up the turkey, onion and garlic is a pan. Stir and break it up occasionally.
While that is browning, spray your crock pot with cooking spray. Cut yellow squash and place those and the tomatoes and sauce in crock pot, give it a stir.
Once turkey is mostly cooked, add to crock pot. I know mine didn't have much oil, so I just poured it into crock pot. If your meat has lot's of oil, then drain. Give it all a stir, put on low for 3 hours and it will be nom nom good!
**I served mine with a Hodgson Mill Insta-bake Muffin. See Bread**
Enjoy!

Baked Burrito

1 10oz can chicken, drained
1 can minced olives
1 shredded zucchini
1-2 can tomato w/green chilies (I can't remember but start with one. Just want mixture moist)
I had 12 frozen turkey meatballs that were already defrosted and needed to be used. So I crushed them up and added them to mixture.
Mix all together in a bowl
I used a whole wheat wrap because they are the only ones big enough and are truly 1000% whole wheat.
***First ingredient should be whole wheat if looking for 100% whole wheat. If its not, it had white flour***
Roll mixture up in tortilla
Bake @350 for 25 minutes
I added some salsa on top!
ENJOY!

Lemon Lover!

Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.7

I love lemon! I wanted to make something lemon but different. I found this website for a diary free lemon filling...
I used Egg whites and Truvia Sweetener
Something went wrong and it never got thick like the recipe said it would.

I already created a fun little crust. I smashed 1 whole honey graham cracker and placed it in bottom of a pie dish. I then broke up 1.5 (if that, my daughter was eating most of it) frozen Triple Chocolate VitaTop. Mix the graham cracker and VitaTops, pressed them down a bit and just left it.

I decided that I would just experiment with the filling. I poured it over the crust and naturally the crust lifted into the filling since it wasn't thick. I then figured I would place it in fridge for a few hours. I noticed it still wasn't setting so I placed it in freezer. 4 hours later I looked and it was starting to set but it was also turning white. I then had to sample it. I loved it! Tons of lemon flavor, with just enough chocolate. I placed foil over the top and returned it to the freezer. It seems to melt fast, so don't leave it out long.

I will be trying the recipe again, with real sugar and see if that is what happened. But, I must say, I do like what I created on accident as well!
Enjoy!
