Quick Update

Life has been very busy so I just wanted to give you a quick update (more will come later). I haven't done a world dinner in awhile because I couldn't find any lamb anywhere (that wasn't crazy expensive or in HUGE packages) but I am going to try to do one tonight. I am counting down the weeks until I graduate. 40 :) I have a paper chain because I am still dorky enough to want one. Life is great. Lin and I are excited about the future and still as busy as ever. I know this wasn't a great update, but I promise to post more soon.

New food idea

So if you haven't figured out by now I love food! I love to eat it, but mostly I love to cook it. I am not however a spender when it comes to food. I like and buy good food, but that doesn't mean name brands. I always try to buy things on sale. This past week I decided to get ground turkey instead of beef. I have tried turkey before and liked it, but then I couldn't find it at Maceys anymore. This past week when I did my shopping I  found the ground turkey in a bulk pack of four 1lb packages for $6 when I compared it to the beef it was a no brainer that I should try the turkey and see if it worked in the meals I was planning.
I am still not sure if I will get it all the time but it is cheaper, plus it is much healthier because it is so low in fat. The taste isn't much different, but it does have a smoother texture which is a little strange. I think we could get used to it though. To try it out I made taco salad on Monday and meatloaf tonight. The texture difference was more apparent in the meatloaf because it was a lot softer and didn't crumble quite like ground beef does.
So I would recommend trying ground turkey especially if you are trying to cut down on fat or just cut some costs it might be a helpful way. Let me know if you try it!
