One of my favorite blogger’s Katie, from Yes, I want Cake lost her sweet mother on Mother’s Day. My heart breaks for her. If you read Katie’s blog, you’ve read about her adventures in food and fitness, but also in motherhood. The joy and excitement she finds in being a mom is inspiring and makes me want to be a better mother.
To think she has lost her own mother at such a young age is heart-wrenching. Even though we just celebrated Mother’s Day, I feel an even greater sense of gratitude for my own mom. Visit Katie’s blog and read her beautiful tribute to her mother and send her words of encouragement and love!
And tell your mom you love her, and you appreciate her every single day.

These Turkey Taco Burgers were a great change up to our weekly Taco Tuesday night. We were getting slightly bored with taco salads and fajitas. They are as easy as mixing a packet of taco seasoning into your ground turkey (or beef), making hamburger patties, and grilling them up! Then just top with your favorites; lettuce, avocados, onions, tomatoes, and of course some cheese….
The addition of a simple Green Chile Sour Cream sauce gave the burger a little spice and flavor! You could also pile on a heaping spoonful of salsa.
I loved the Mexican flavors of this burger, it’ll be perfect for summer grilling and makes for a very quick week-night meal!
