Bloody Damn Turkey

So this morning as I was rushing out of the door for work. I opened the fridge to grab my yogurt. And I noticed some leaking. Stupid strawberry yogurt I thought. So I go back to the fridge to get another yogurt and realize the strawberry yogurt is innocent. It's my %$#* Thanksgiving turkey leaking all over the top shelf of my fridge. So I have to toss all my yogurt and a jello pudding and Clorox spray the bottoms of my expensive french sodas, because I am not throwing those away, I had to drive an hour for those bad boys. I finally shimmied the heavy turkey into a roasting pan. And then proceeded to clean up all the disgusting blood. Did I mention I am a vegetarian, which makes this extra disgusting?
I had to sop up all the (gag) liquid before I could remove the shelf and then had to clean my entire fridge, just to be safe! But it gets better.
After all the fridge mess is cleaned up and I text work to say I will be a little late due to Turkey-gate 2013,
I proceed to start a laundry load of contaminated towels and spray every inch of the kitchen and wash my hands 50 times. Then I put on my jacket, grab my coffee and purse and finally head into work. So as I am backing out of the driveway, I notice blood spots all over my winter white peacoat. Naturally I have to return to the house and try to scrub out the turkey blood, I start with a hot wet towel from the laundry and then get out the tide pen. I have to set my alarm again and then can actually get to work. And all this before I even had a sip of coffee. I am sooooo ready for Thanksgiving break!!!!

But to that Bloody Turkey I say, You better run boy!!!!!!

Crocktober-Simple Veggie Chili

It's October, cooler weather should be on it's way, but it's still over 80 degrees. But that is not going to stop me from pulling out the crockpot and making chili. What makes it even better is that it is only 4 ingredients. 1 pkg veggie crumbles (like the kind by morningstar farms) 1 can diced tomatoes 1 can kidney beans 1 pkt chili seasoning Mix all in crockpot and cook on high for two hours and 1 hour on low. Serve with your fave chili toppings.

A simple kind of Pizza

Hot gooey cheese, burning the roof of your mouth sauce, and crunchy, crusty bread. Yum! It started with a pizza in fifth grade home economics. The recipe was French Bread Pizza, the ingredients were simple, bread, sauce, cheese, and meat. But that was all it took, my culinary spark was lit. I went home and wanted to give my school recipe a try. The actual ingredients were French bread probably from the local grocery store's bakery. The remaining ingredients were less than wholesome, a can of salty tomato sauce, a block of mozzarella you had to shred yourself, and greasy pre-sliced pepperoni you simply had to taste. Hopefully you managed to save enough for the pizza. And Voila, I felt just like a chef! Did it matter that the only chef I knew was Chef Boyardee? Of course not, because I could make my own food. And even got to use the oven much to my mother's disapproval (for fear I would burn the house down). I didn't care because even at that moment I was a better c

Doritos Pumpkin cheese ball

1 Block cream cheese ½ C salsa (pace salsa works best) 2-3 C crushed nacho doritos Bell pepper stem Small round bowl Press and seal wrap Non-stick spray Mix with an electric mixer the cream cheese and salsa. I mix it well and until it is quite creamy/fluffy. Place a piece of press and seal over a small bowl and spray with nonstick spray. Put in cream cheese and salsa mixture and wrap up. Let chill overnight or at least 2 hours. When ready to serve unwrap ball and roll in crushed doritos and top with a bell pepper stem. I like to serve it with blue tortilla chips for Halloween, this is also great for Thanksgiving.
