Keep It Simple and Cut Down on Cooking

My simple go-to recipe

Keep It Simple and Cut Down on Cooking
Claudine Williams

I hate it when I'm hungry, I don't have anything around that's quick and not too fattening. I don't use a microwave. I find that my instant pot is a healthier option. I am a big fan of turkey meat, because it's so versatile. I can make meatballs, turkey burgers, or I could use it for tacos and burritos.

I'm also trying to keep an eye on my food proportion. Although I'm not always successful, I want to at least know how much I'm eating, and whether or not I'm overeating. I guess that I like to stay conscious of how much I'm eating (most of the time).

So, to make sure that I always have something to eat in a jiffy. I use my Instant Pot to cook up a couple of pounds of turkey meat every couple of months.


Turkey meat in an Instant PotClaudine Williams


I put fresh turkey meat in my Instant Pot for about 20 minutes with a little water at the bottom of the pot. Sit the raw turkey meat on the trivet, so the water should reach just barely touching the trivet. The purpose of the trivet is to keep the turkey meat out of the water.

Once the meat is cooked, I remove small portions from the pot, weight it, and put it into small freezer bags. Oh, I also label and date the bags. I weigh my meat out so it's around 3.5 ounces per bag. I crumble it with a fork first, because I usually use my turkey meat as a topping for salads or in a burrito.


Once the meat is all packaged, I put the date on the baggie, and put everything into the freezer. Turkey meat will last for several months, frozen, but I always eat mine within a month.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
