Turkey Burger's with Daikon Fries

Honestly, fries are a major trigger food for me. I just can't have one. So I came up with a substitute! You can find Daikon at any Asian grocery store. 

 I found this recipe at: yourlighterside.com/2013/03/daikon-fries/


I really did not follow the recipe exactly and just fried them in a frying pan. I also had some Ground Turkey to use up so I made some Veggie Burgers to pair it with. (UPDATE: You can also bake these and I highly recommend that!)

 I used this recipe as my inspiration recipe for the Turkey Burgers:

Image Source:  http://paperfly.hubpages.com/hub/Bacon-Wrapped-Stuffed-Sweet-Peppers I got the original recipe from:  http://paperfly.hubpages.com/hub/Bacon-Wrapped-Stuffed-Sweet-Peppers I did add a few ingredients to add more flavor. Here is what I did:  Ingredients: 2 large containers of Philadelphia Cream Cheese (Sorry but I cannot stand any type of generic cream cheese, it's got to be Philadelphia and the low calorie one) 1 bag (about 20-25) small multi colored sweet peppers 1 TBS dried basil 1 TSP dried parsley 1 TSP garlic powder About 1/4 of a cup of Romano cheese 1 Package of regular bacon (I did cut the pieces in half so there would be more but next time I will be sure to just get 2 packages of bacon --  I recommend getting 2 packages.  Directions: Wash the peppers.  Cut around the stem at the top to remove steam and core/seeds. The peppers should be left whole, not cut in half. Set aside.  In a bowl combine cream ...

I'm Still Here!

It's been almost exactly four years since I posted anything. I got talking to someone today and mentioned I have this cooking blog. From time to time I mention I have it but have not done much with it since 2013. Why the break? For several reasons. The first reason, I became single and lost my main taste tester. Going from cooking for two to one for sure effected this blog. I also stopped posting during my break up. I did not want to advertise online what was going on and just needed to take my life off line a bit. The second reason: I moved to a different state, not once but twice. I moved to San Diego, California in October of 2013. I was there for a year and a half. I then moved to a suburb of Dallas, Texas in January of 2015. This is where I currently live and plan on staying. I have extended family here and why I made the move. About a year ago my mom retired and also moved here. She lives about twenty minutes away from me. I also have an aunt two miles away. I still hav...

I found this recipe at:  www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Grilled-Asian-Flank-Steak-with-Sweet-Slaw-242464 But I was in a bit of a hurry and ended up using it more of an inspiration recipe.
