Today is Tuesday, June 24

Let me just start off by saying I actually had to hover in my bottom right screen corner to find out the date. How sad.

TODAY, I :

slept in until 930. diiii-vine.
ate DRY cereal for breakfast because I forgot we were out of milk
left our newly-purchased box of diapers under the cart
retrieved the diapers after making a mad dash BACK to wal-mart.
(they were still there! incredible)
skipped milo's nap until 4:00.
participated in Impromptu Swim Party for Isa's Birthday.
it was fantastic. 8/10 grandkids were there.
by accident.
taught makayla how to blow bubbles in the water
stayed in my swimming suit allllll day
made
Not-Guac Bacon Turkey Burgers.
They were ahhh-mazing. Want the recipe? I made it up :)
Just got startled by a shirtless body bobbing outside my window....
no fear. just my father-in-law. whew.
will be waking milo up shortly.

today gets 4 stars.

Not-Guac Bacon Turkey Burgers

You'll Need:
1lb. ground turkey
1/2 pkg spicy taco seasoning
5-6 crisp bacon slices

(could use turkey bacon)
1 ripe avocado
1/2 c. sour cream
1 lime
Cheese slices of choice
(I used Pepperjack and American)
Hot sauce (to taste)
Red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper
1 jalepeno, sliced and seeds removed
Hamburger buns
Lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, etc. to garnish burgers

Not-guac:
Scoop out the insides of the avocado and mash with a fork
Add sour cream, juice from lime, hot sauce, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper to taste.
Stir to blend flavors
Chill in refrigerator until serving time

Turkey Burgers:

Scoop meat into large bowl
Add 1/2 pkg of taco seasoning (can be mild - I like spicy!) and red pepper flakes (optional)
Mix together thoroughly and separate into patties
Season with salt and pepper

Grill burgers, turning once and adding cheese last

To assemble:
Spread Not-guac on bottom bun, top with jalepeno slices
Add burger, bacon and more Not-guac on the top bun
Garnish as you like with lettuce, tomatoes, etc.

Enjoy :)
