Healthy, and Delicious Turkey Bowls

Turkey Bowls

A family Favorite

By Dahlia Acevedo

You will need 1 1/2 lbs ground Turkey. Feeds 4 to 5 people.

Make 1 1/2 cups rice on the side. Tonight I used half white / half brown.

Directions: In one pan fry, in olive oil, chopped onions (red is usually best), and whatever fresh or frozen vegetables you have on hand. Add your spices (i used pepper, garlic salt, and red pepper mix) Once nice and cooked / browned, add fresh garlic (pressed preferably). Remember, if you are adding fresh spinach, wait until the other veggies are cooked first. Spinach cooks up fast. AND, you will want to use a couple handfuls, as it shrinks.

Pressed for time?, simply add frozen vegetables to the cooked meat, and cook for 20 minutes

In the other pan brown the ground Turkey till all red disappears. Drain the fat juices. And add the veggies. Add a couple table spoons bouillon powder, or one cube chicken flavoring. Add one cup water, or one and a half, depending on your preference. Mix it all together, bring to a boil, stir, cover, and lower the heat to a simmer. Cook 10 minutes, stir, cook another ten minutes.

Soy sauce and water can be substituted for bouillon powder. Also tastes delicious.

In a bowl, place a good amount of rice in a bowl. Place Turkey mix atop the rice and enjoy!

Ocean Trails Reserve - Rancho Palos Verdes (Ocean views galore)

Ocean Trails Reserve - Palos Verdes By: Dahlia Acevedo Where has this Ocean trail been all my life?! I viewed several posts about the place, as well as photographs, which did not do this place justice at all! We are talking 360 beautiful views of the golf course (which runs parallel to the trail at first), gorgeous homes in the distance, the mountains, as well as constant ocean views. Let me just take a moment to comment on the color of the ocean (really colors), A deep blue with turquoise pools, crystal clear in spots, exposing the algae below (coastline). There are four paths, two that lead down to the beach area, which is completely covered in small, grayish white rocks. Making it totally unique and picturesque. I've never seen anything like it. I've posted a picture of the awesome looking zig zag trail leading down to the beach. Once you descend, you will see the bottom half of the cliffs are covered in rolling green, gra...

Color Street Nail Polish Strips

I wasn't expecting to like Color Street Nail polish strips as much as I do. If you've never heard of Color Street, they consist of real nail polish in a dry strip form. They are long lasting, durable, and come in many beautiful and fun designs, for all seasons. For a long period of time I couldn't live without going to the salon once every three weeks to a month, to get my nails done. At first I sported acrylics, then switched to gel nails. I was getting both a manicure and pedicure, throwing a lot of money away. Sure, I felt I deserved it, I work hard and wanted to pamper myself. Plus, I felt more feminine and attractive. Unfortunately my polish would start to chip off a couple days later, driving me absolutely batty! I felt the need to rush back to the salon to have them repair a nail or two, which would cost even more money. I finally just grew tired of it and stopped going to the salon. I felt happy, like I was saving money. Fast forward several years later, and I was ...

Intermittent Fasting, and My Personal Experience

By Dahlia Acevedo My mother was actually the first person to enlighten me about intermittent fasting. I remember her being really excited about the prospect of not being on an actual diet, and having to constantly think about what you put in your mouth. She explained that participants in a recent study continuously lost weight every week without changing anything about their daily routine (this includes what they ate and how often they ate). They simply stuck to a 12 hour on / 12 hour off fasting period. For example, if they had their first meal or snack at 9am, and their last meal or snack at 9pm. They would then refrain from ingesting anything but water, from 9pm until 9am. This means, no liquids (milk, juice, soda), no alcohol, and no sugar. And let me tell you, this is doable! The last time I saw my mother (a few weeks back), she told me she has lost seven pounds fasting twelve hours a day. I was so excited for her! Now, to be fair, I asked if she has been eating any dif...
