Ground Turkey Sloppy Joe's

The month of August has been filled with family, birthday parties, retirement parties, pizza, delicious food, the beach, and so many memories! My sisters came into town the beginning of August, my uncle had a retirement party this past weekend, my cousins Timmy and Rosie had their birthday party this past Sunday and my mom will be in town this upcoming Sunday! It's probably been the busiest I have been in quite some time. Jace also started school last week so that has taken some time to get used to as well. When I am at home (which I feel like hasn't been much this month!) I have been focused on healthier dinner options. Last night was no different. I made an easy Ground Turkey Sloppy Joe recipe. Of course since it's a healthier alternative, it's not as full of flavor as regular, greasy, ground beef sloppy joe's but it was still good and a great alternative. The original recipe can be found HERE from Davita.  

Ingredients:
1 tbsp onion powder
1.5 pounds ground turkey
1 tbsp Mrs. Dash Chicken Grilling Blend seasoning
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 cup tomato sauce with no salt added
3 hamburger buns

Directions:
In a large skillet on the stove, place ground turkey and onion powder. Cook over medium heat until done, about 5-8 minutes. Do not drain. In a small bowl, combine the Mrs. Dash seasoning, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and tomato sauce. Add seasonings to turkey mixture. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Put on hamburger buns and enjoy!

Book Review and Summary - Prince Harry - "Spare"

Image
I may be one of the few, but I was intrigued by Prince Harrys' story, which prompted me to pick up his book "Spare." I have to say, as I first started reading, I couldn't put it down, I think I read 50+ pages the first day. I was aware of Prince Harry but knew very little about his life. I remember negative things in the news, all of the negative stories of him. He sounded to me like the "troubled" brother, and, unfortunately, he and everyone else believed he was. I also now understand the meaning behind the book title. The name "Spare" is a name that is described as the one that isn't important. Think of a spare tire, you are kind of pushed to the side until you are needed. As Prince Harry said, his brother was the "Heir" and he was the "Spare" and it was very unfortunate events throughout  the book that describe how and why he felt like this. He mentioned Willy (Prince William) and him were, "The Heir and the Spare. I

10 Ways to Make Parenting a Middle Schooler a Little Bit Easier

Image
My cousin and I were spending some time together a few days ago and she asked about Jace and how he was doing in school. After a few minutes, she suggested that I blog about it. Initially, I wasn't too keen on the idea, but after doing some research, I realized that parenting a middle schooler can be tough for a lot of parents (I got lucky and he is probably one of the easiest ones) at times so I decided to write down what I do to make our days better. Having a middle schooler is so different than having a child in elementary, to me. Here are 10 things that I/we have done that has really made our days easier and better together.  1. Be consistent - every morning I ask my son how he slept and when he comes home, I ask him how his day was. When we eat together as a family (2-3X per week), we each go around the table discussing our highlight of the day. If I somehow miss or forget the questions, he asks me what my highlight was or how my day was which I absolutely love.  On the same t
