Turkey Chili Bake

I'm always on the lookout for quick recipes

that easily make a double batch

and that freeze and reheat well.

 This Turkey Chili Bake

hits all of those

and is one of my family's favorite meals.

Ingredients

2 lbs. ground turkey

2 pkg. taco seasoning mix

1 can (19 oz) black beans, drained & rinsed

2 cans (11 oz) peaches & cream corn

2 jars (16 oz) mild salsa

4 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese

Heat oven to 350F.

Spray two 8x10 pans with cooking spray.

In a non-stick skillet, cook turkey

until no longer pink.

Add taco seasoning & blend well.

Add beans, corn & salsa; mix well.

Divide between both pans.

Top with cheese.

Cover pans with tinfoil sprayed with baking spray.

At this point you can either bake or freeze.

Bake at 350F for 40-45 minutes.

To bake from frozen cook at 350F for 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hours.

There are so many variations that you can do with this recipe.

You can switch up the salsa to add more kick.

I've also used Italian cheese or marble cheese

and both are super delicious.

I also like to make a double batch of cornbread muffins,

one for the meal and one for the freezer.

My hubby prefers to eat his in a wrap,

which is also a good way to eat leftovers.

Whichever way you decided,

this is quick, easy & delicious.

Early Spring Wreath & Evening Work

What a winter we have been having.

It has been hard to get into spring mode

while everything is still buried under a few feet of snow.

It is very unusual for us for this time of year.

With the snow, cold weather and short days

I have to admit that all I want to do

when I get home from work is be a couch potato.

But, I want to be more productive

so I am trying to do a small evening project each evening.

Did I mention I am a morning person?

This evening project is a challenge for me

but when I get it accomplished

I feel awesome!

This evening's project was to make a wreath

for my back door.

I wanted something that said "early spring".

I am not ready to do florals yet

with all the snow.

It just doesn't feel right.

I did, however, fall in love

with the pussy willows

and light shades of green

while I was browsing at Michaels.

I was very pleased with the finished look

and it feels just right

for the season we are currently in.

How about you?

Are you ready for spring?
