Crockpot Turkey Casserole

Renew Yourself! Check out the Find Your Energy: 10 Day Cleanse.  A simple whole-foods cleanse for the body, mind and soul.Sunday is a day of rest in our home. We often wear our pj’s and watch movies right in to the night.

There are exceptions to the rule of course. Like when there is no food in the house or when you know Santa is at the mall waiting for your son to arrive. Or how about when everyone else has their Christmas tree up and you haven’t made time for that yet. Yesterday was one of those days.

The boys set out to find a tree in our own yard. Mama wouldn’t have that though. So my dad offered a lend of his van’s roof rack to bring home a tree from a lot. The tree came and it was perfect.

Meanwhile I strolled down the isle of a local market looking for something warming, seasonal, healthy and easy to make. I found it and this is all that is left over to show. “It must of been good,” your saying to yourself. Well, it was! So good that I had my parents over for supper.

Did I mention easy?

This is a great dish to share with others. We all need a break this time of year. Go ahead invite the parents. They’ll think you spent hours on a special meal made just for them.  It won’t last.  This is all that’s left!

1 local boneless turkey breast, chopped
3 organic celery rib, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 heaping tsp Celtic sea salt
2 bay leaves
1 tsp sweet basil
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp curry
1/2 cup of organic chicken broth

1 head of broccoli with stems, chopped
2 small-med potatoes, diced
1 can Amy’s mushroom soup
pepper to taste

Set your crock pot on high. Add all ingredient in the first section. Allow it to cook for about an hour. Add in the broccoli, potatoes and mushroom soup. Cook for another hour. Serve over rice with a nice green salad.

Now to decorate my tree!

Mushroom And Artichoke Pasta

Getting meals on the table can take hours for me.  The thought of running to the store for one ingredient then cleaning so I can prep and then cook and serve the food is exhausting.  There are nights that I don’t want to cook.  In fact, there are a lot of nights like that. I’d rather have a bowl of cereal and plop myself down in front of the TV for the night.

Last nights meal was a combination of left over ingredients that I didn’t want to see go bad.  It was easy, healthy and tasted great. I conserved my time and energy so that I could enjoy my family.  Isn’t that what we all want?

Mushroom And Artichoke Pasta

1 package Eden Artichoke Ribbons (or substitute for other pasta)
1 box button mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
3 kale leaves (or other green), de-stem, torn
1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp olive oil

Dressing: 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 lemon, sea salt and 1 tsp dried basil and mix well

Top with: olives, caper, parmasean cheese

Follow the package directions to cook pasta.  Saute mushroom, onion, salt with the oils for 5 minutes on low-med heat.  Add kale in for 2 minutes.  Pour the dressing over strained noodles.  Serve pasta in bowls topped with capers, cheese and olives.

I love my pasta served with a Lemon Perrier water!  Cheers Mama!
