Not your grandma's Turkey N Biscuits

So recently we had a recipe swap and a friend of ours Jamie made these turkey and biscuits things.She made single servings by placing a biscuit in a cupcake/muffin mold.  They were pretty good, but Art thought  it was too much bread and not enough meat, so I thought I would switch things up a bit and tweak the recipe to fit something my whole family would like. My children love this and don't know they are getting a ton of veggies. So this is the way I make it but you can pretty much change it to something your family would enjoy.

1 can Pillsbury Biscuits (8 count)
20 oz Ground turkey
1 cup BBQ
1/2c zucchini (shredded)
1/2c chopped colored bell peppers
1/2c chopped mushrooms
1/4c chopped onions
any type of shredded cheese I prefer fresh Parmesan.


Preheat oven to 350

Flatten all 8 biscuits in a 9x13 pan.. you can leave push up all the edges to get a pie effect.



Brown Ground Turkey and throw veggies in.
I use frozen veggies so I throw them in right with the turkey

Drain if necessary

Pour bbq sauce and mix thoroughly. Let simmer for 2-3 mins.

Pour turkey and veggies on top of biscuits trying to leave about half inch space around edge.
place in the oven for 15 minutes or until it looks light golden brown

add some shredded cheese and bake for another 3 minutes.

Remove and enjoy!!


I made this a few weeks back but placed one biscuit in a ramekin and flattened it the shape of the ramekin and loaded it with turkey/veggie mix.

Fire Station Open House

We took the boys to the Fountain Valley First Station Open House. This was a neat little community even that  focused on family fire prevention and having fun. There was free food, moon bounce, face painting and ice cream sundaes. The kids had a great time.



                      Our brave lil guy is going to attempt to conquer the obstacle course bouncer.

                                    
                                                                   Yay I did it!!


 Checking out the Ambulance...I wonder if he remember riding in one like this when he was a baby?

 Dustin finally came around and decided to give the stethoscope a try. He was surprised he could hear his heart.


                                                      mmmmmm. future fireman?




                                             Daddy save me.....

                  The Firemen and their families cooked for everyone, we enjoyed their hospitality.

It was great to see our friend Ryan and his family. By the time we were taking this picture the boys were done.

"Tary" (scary) Toddler Tuesday

Today while Daddy was on a bike ride and Mason was napping, Dustin and I decorated our house for Halloween.


Dustin insisted to do it on his own, because he "wanted to help momma".


After the inside we went to our front yard to rake. Oh boy, was that a tough job


My yard it always full of leaves during fall so I assumed I would have enough leaves to fill both of  my pumpkin bags. Those bags were HUGE! Dustin and I raked the leaves for over and hour and we just barely filled up one bag.


I am grateful I had my son to help me. I really enjoyed our time together. We are always so busy with church, friends, family, work, life that I sometimes forget to take a step back and just spend that one on one time with my children. 
Dustin was very proud of his work, he was more proud when he was able to show daddy. He told art "Me and Mommy worked together"... I sure do love him!!

Monday with Mason

My Mason is growing so fast, I really wish I was able to turn back the clock when it comes to my children. Mason is now 9 months old! I know, I know, i can't believe it either. His first and favorite word is Mama! It just melts my heart to him say it about 1000 times a day. Mason is a great baby and has a ton of personality. I'd like to show you what I mean...
