First up. . .  Turkey Meatballs!

Gather ingredients!

1 20oz package of Extra Lean Ground Turkey

Spices

1 egg

 Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

In a large bowl mix all ingredients together

Roll into 1 oz balls

Place in a shallow baking dish 1 inch apart

Bake for 20-25 mins until center is 165 degrees

 I didn't have a picture after they were cooked, they got eaten so fast! I had salsa and low fat sour cream out for dipping!

Next is CornFlake Chicken

Gather ingredients: 

Chicken breast

Egg Whites

Corn Flakes crumbled

season to taste

This is pretty cut and dry.

Cut the chicken breast into strips, dip in eggs, then dip in cornflakes. I have a cookie sheet liner so food doesnt stick and I highly recommend one! Place on cookie sheet and cook for 20-25 min until 165 degrees.

Dont forget a simple veggie tray with low-fat ranch!

Valentines Day & My First Day of Work in 6 YEARS & A Store Announcement!

                              Happy Valentine's Day!
Tuesday was a very busy day! Valentine's Day is not usually celebrated in our house, nothing against the holiday but it is just a commercialized day. There shouldn't be one day a year for your special someone to make you feel special, or one day for you to make someone else feel special. The best days are the days when someone makes you feel and it is a total surprise. Anyways, today was a good day! I got a job that I totally didn't expect to get and today was my first day. Now it has been almost 6 years since I have "worked". *disclaimer, I have been an at home mom and a homemaker. I also started my online store this last year! So I guess I have been working. Working so much I can finally say my business is now consistently paying my mortgage!  This is such a HUGE accomplishment for my family! Also February 14th is Oregon's Birthday! Here are some fun Oregon Facts!
1.Oregon has more ghost towns than any other state.
2. Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States. It was formed more than 6,500 years ago. Its crystal-blue waters are world renowned.
3. Discovered in 1874 the caves located in Oregon Caves National Monument are carved within solid marble.
4. Eugene was the first city to have one-way streets.
5. At 8,000 feet deep Hells Canyon is the deepest river gorge in North America.
6. Oregon and New Jersey are the only states without self-serve gas stations!

7. The world's tallest barber shop pole stands in Forest Grove, Oregon.

8.Oregon is home to the world's shortest river The D River is only 121 feet long.
