Ground turkey breast is a good source of lean protein. It's also loaded with vitamin B12, which helps the body use fats and carbohydrates, is vital to cell development — especially red blood cells — and helps the nervous system function properly.

This is such a quick and easy way to do this.
Use whatever frozen breaded chicken you have - breaded chicken fillets are good, they are bigger. Fry them in oil until they are golden brown and cooked through - 5 min.

When my boyfriend and I first moved into together, we had a house warming party that was all skewers (super fun and really easy clean-up, just make sure you have garbage cans handy). The biggest hit of the party was the Caprese Skewers, a simple and colorful appetizer.
Ingredients
Cherry Tomato
Fresh Mozzarella balls (roughly the same size as the Cherry Tomatoes)
Olive Oil (I love Sciabica Basil olive oil - they are the oldest olive oil producer in California)
Fresh Basil
Balsamic Vinegar (optional)
salt and pepper
Skewers

Ripest juiciest tomatoes you can find (mine are home grown...woo hoo)
1 bunch fresh basil torn into pieces
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
a clove garlic minced
smidgeon of anchovy paste
handful of capers (rinsed)
some crushed red pepper if you like it hot
3/4 lb fresh mozarella diced in cubes (you MUST try buffalo mozzarella if you can find it- Whole Foods usually has it as does TJ's)
1 T of balsamic vinegar (or a little more or less to taste)
1 lbs dried pasta (zita or rigatoni work best)
about 1 1/2 hours before serving, stir your anchovy paste into the olive oil in a large serving bowl (you CAN leave it out, but try it even if you think you don't like anchovies....). add the garlic, the tomatoes, basil, capers, pepper, and cheese .... stir and just let it sit
when you're ready to eat, boil your pasta till al dente, drain it and add it to your tomato mixture and mix thoroughly.

Ingredients for 4:
- 11 ounces of pasta (penne or farfalle)
- 3 or 4 tomatoes
- 2 mozzarella balls
- 3 tablespoons of tapenade (olive past)

Cook the pasta (But put a little bit of salt in the water, the tapenade is already salted)
In the meantime, dice the tomatoes and the mozzarella balls.
When the pasta is ready, put 3 tablespoons of tapenade in it. Well mix.

My little Maltese puppy. He is really the cutest dog ever!

My goodness, Mozzy is absolutely precious. He's so tiny compared to my Zena! I love the picture of him next to the rice cooker! At least, it looks like a rice cooker. His little white mustache of fur is utterly adorable.
1His big fluffy mustache is one of my favorite little features of him.
I accidentally
cut them too short one day, and he looked so silly! haha. His daddy (my bf) couldn't stop laughing cause having them not be big and fluffy and instead short and uneven was just too awkward!
2Ha ha, that is funny!
How many times a month does Mozzy have to have his coat trimmed? The puppy coat looks perfect on him. I've never been a fan of the show dog length on a breed like the Maltese.
3Oh for sure! I am not a fan of the show dog coat either, it just takes away from his pure look of innocence!! In the summer I would trim his coat probably twice a month, now that it's winter and it's absolutely freezing here, I probably only give him a trim around his face and tummy (otherwise he'll pee on it, and it just gets nasty! haha). He basically gets a mini bath every other day or whenever he accidentally goes on himself since he's so tiny when he lifts his legs. But he'll get a bath once a week to once every one and a half weeks.
4I know you rarely have to trim or groom Zena huh? My cousin has a dog with fur too and she has never needed to give him a trim! Must be lucky in that sense, but then again I don't ever deal with fur all over my clothes and stuff lol.
Zena gets a bath once a month (typically 24-48 hours after her flea medication). I brush her maybe once a month or whenever I'm bored/stressed. The only thing that gets trimmed at the vet is her toenails. It's WWIII whenever she has to get her toenails trimmed! One strong vet assistant and my former military dad have to hold her down while the vet wields the trimmer.
I haven't given her a bath since December because it's been super cold (we've gone as low as -37 with wind chill. Stupid Lake Michigan). Zena has a short, thin coat so we have to put on a ski puffer jacket and possibly a scarf. The vets love when we bring Zena in wearing one of her sweaters or her ski puffer jacket. She must get a thousand kisses at the vet.
The fur everywhere doesn't really bother my family or me. We've always owned short-coated dogs so fur is not a problem. We've had a Black Lab, Greyhound and a Jack Russel/Rat mix before Zena. I can't imagine not having a Zena blanket (aka fur) sucked into the Dyson!
