Get the deal here.  Hurry because earlier today it went back up to $199!

Whole Wheat Penne tossed with left over turkey, broccoli rabe, spinach and red bell peppers

I try to eat as healthy as I can and I'm always trying to create new recipes.  Anyhow, I didn't want any more turkey, gravy etc and decided something quick and simple would do.  Came up with this:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup chopped left over turkey breast
• 2 cups broccoli rabe chopped
• 1 cup spinach
• 2 bell peppers chopped
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 pinches of kosher salt
• fresh cracked black pepper
• 1 box whole wheat penne pasta

Bring water to a boil, add a few dashes of olive oil and a pinch of salt to the water.  Once water boils, add the penne pasta and cook until al dente. 

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add garlic, turkey, broccoli and stir for a few minutes, until broccoli starts to turn a darker green.  Add bell peppers, spinach, salt and pepper.  Add a half cup of chicken stock (I made turkey stock this morning, so I used that).  Once all the veggies are cooked,  turn off heat.  

By this time, pasta should be cooked.  Measure out 2/3 cup of pasta, toss with one cup of the turkey and veggies.  I like spicy foods so I also added crushed red peppers.  Serve.  NOM NOM NOM.

Fast, easy and healthy to boot.

Friends that love you for being you.

I'm blessed.  Truly blessed to have not only the best family in the world, but to have 2 sisters whom I consider the best friends in the world!  On top of my sisters, I have a small group of girlfriends who I can tell anything to and who I know would love me just the same no matter what.  They don't talk about me behind my back but instead encourage, chastise with love, laugh with me until my insides hurt, cry with me when I'm sad and most importantly are just there no matter what.  I can't even express how much I love these girls.

Family time

Picture is from this past weekend. I love that my sisters and I are so close. I hope to pass the love and relationship down to my kids.  We have dinner and hang out at least once a week and I could not be happier than when I get to see them :)
