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!

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

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

Absolutely Magical butterfly Den Discovery! In Lake Balboa!

So, the butterflies have emerged once again now that the weather has warmed quite a bit. They are everywhere, BUT I have discovered the mother of all butterflies dens. A truely magical place hidden away from the main paths. While out for a bike ride today I decided to take a semi-dirt path, almost completely hidden off the main street. I had accidentally stumbled across it before, but hadn't the time to explore it. Today upen entering the bike path, off Burbank Blvd, I was completely taken aback by the sheer amount of butterflies, seemingly attracted to the bright yellow wild flowers growing along both sides of the path. I stopped for quite a long while to video tape them, but upon viewing the footage, I realized it does not compare / do the place justice. I hopped back on my bike and rode a little further, which is when I saw a closed off (barred) path to my right, with a small opening, large enough to walk a bike through. This hidden jem of a path contained even more
