What's a Turkey Joe, you ask? Don't be confused by the name of this recipe! Turkey Joe's are my lightened up take on the good old-fashioned sloppy joe. I started calling them Turkey Joe's the first time I made them because there's something about the word "sloppy" I just don't love and the name has stuck. They're still a make-a-mess-of-yourself-when-you-eat-it kind of meal. Like, seriously, this is a two-handed sandwich and you're going to need a stack of napkins 'cause you're probably going to ...

Cookies just make me happy, ya know? My fondness for cookies definitely goes back to childhood, ...
Peanut Butter & Strawberry Oatmeal
Start your day the PB&J way! I've been enjoying a bowl of this Peanut Butter & Strawberry Oatmeal for breakfast a few times a week for the last couple of weeks and guys, this might just be my new favorite way to do oats. Seriously. Since spying the first in-season displays (!!) of organic strawberries with in-season prices (!!) at the markets I frequent, I've been dreaming strawberry dreams. Okay, not really. But I have had strawberry recipes on the brain. They're one of my favorite ...
Chicken Veggie Noodle Soup
So, there's an old saying... When it snows in April, make yourself a big old pot of Chicken Veggie Noodle Soup. Or something like that. It did, indeed, snow in my part of the world this past weekend. It was kind of pretty, in the way freshly fallen snow always is. But mostly it was cold...and wet...and the type of precipitation I firmly believe we should be well beyond at this point in the year.
