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...

Discover the Picturesque Longridge Park Hiking Trail (Sherman Oaks, CA)

Me and the hubs out to discover new hiking trails in the San Fernando Valley, hit up Dixie Canyon Park first, in Sherman Oaks. First of all, Park??? There is a clearly marked trail that leads to, well, nowhere. At a certain point, after hiking about ten minutes, the trail (?) becomes WAY too narrow and dangerous with loose gravel and mud pockets. We had to turn around and head back the way we came. This is a charming little spot if you live in the direct vicinity of the "Park". It is very green and shaded over. On the plus side, the drive up is VERY pretty. Dixie Canyon is tucked into the hills of a picturesque, upper class neighborhood, full of McMansions, and all around beautiful homes of varying architecture. After Dixie Canyon I wasn't ready to go home. So, I chose for us to visit Longridge Park (?)  Longridge Park Trailhead is located up in the hills of Sherman Oaks, at the end of a lovely residential street. Again, the drive up was spectacular, through a fairy tale ...

Hiking Among the Beautiful Wild Flowers in Malibu

Getting out in nature is good for the soul, to unplug and get away from it all for a few hours. As you know contributes to peace of mind and emotional well being. What could be better than hiking by the ocean with it's spectacular views, light ocean breeze and fresh air. Located off PCH Highway, both hiking spots are within a couple blocks of each other, and very easy to find.  Malibu Bluffs Park: One of my all time favorite places to go. Is always a pleasure, especially during the spring time. I have fond memories of taking my son there as a kid, picnicking and flying kites. There are two cool playgrounds, a sand pit and a zip line area.The place has changed a lot since I've been there last (about a year ago). They have cleared away brush from the walking path around the grass, allowing for additional views of the ocean and homes on the hillsides (which are fabulously covered in yellow wild flowers at the moment). To my absolute delight, they have created a clearly marke...
