Yummy Turkey Sausage

Fryin Up In the Pan!!

My first time trying this recipe and boy was I surprised!!!

They tasted great!  I am hooked on making my own

turkey sausage!

and  healthier too!!

Draining on paper towels.

Easy recipe, but next time I will mix together in the morning or day before,

so that the spices and meat blend together.

Recipe follows.....

Turkey Sausage

About 2 lbs. ground turkey meat

1 tsp. ginger

1 1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. sage (think I will use a little more next time)

1/4 tsp. cayenne ( will use a little more of this too)

1 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

Mix well together until blended.

Make into patties.

Fry in non stick pan, coated with cooking spray (like Pam)

Fry until brown on each side and no longer pink in the middle.

Enjoy!!!

Could also crumble and fry for pizza topping!

Happy Anniversary

Matt and Allison,

Our son and daughter-in-love!

Can't believe it has been

5 years already...



Look what You can Make with Pallets!

I just wanted to show off some of the

furniture my son has been making.

He has started making furniture out of pallets!

I think he has done a pretty good job considering he

has been doing most all the cutting and putting

together by hand.

Can't wait to see what he will come up with next.

Maybe something for Mother's Day or Birthday! (hint,hint) :)

Strawberry Pie Season

I am not sure where the day went today,

I have managed to only get a couple of housekeeping things

done on my long list.

But I did get this lovely strawberry pie made.

When I make this pie recipe, it kinda reminds me of the

old Shoney's Strawberry Pie, but better.

I have had this recipe for about as long as we have been married

which will be 38 years in August! It is hard to

believe how the time has gone by!

Back to the recipe, it is pretty simple and I have listed it below.

Make sure your strawberries are nice and ripe.

The recipe calls for whole berries, but I always slice them up. 

It sure makes slicing the pie easier.

Strawberry Pie

1 qt. strawberries, washed and hulled.

1 c. sugar

1 c. water

3 T. cornstarch

one baked pie shell, it can be either pastry or graham

Take one cup of soft berries, the sugar, and 3/4 c. water.  Bring to boil in a sauce pan over medium heat, so that the sugar dissolves.  Run the berries through a sieve and return to the saucepan. 

Take 1/4 c. water and dissolve the cornstarch.  Add to the berry/sugar mixture, return to pan and cook to thickened.

Slice the strawberries if desired.  When the sauce has cooled slightly, add the strawberries and stir gently to coat.  Pour into the pie shell.  Let it cool in the refrigerator.

Top with whip cream, cool whip or your favorite topping.

Enjoy!!
