Happy Canada Day!
I love being Canadian.
This year was even better because Sis, BIL, SweetPea, SIL and JQ were here!
I am JUST getting into the summer swing of things and getting the house ready for the next big thing. LOL I have been thinking short term lately. Getting through 1 week at a time. Last week of activities. Last week of school. July Long Weekend!!!
The weather has been Mis.Er.Able.
Today is July 5th. It is my Grandparent’s Anniversary. We always had family reunions on their big Anniversaries. The whole family was here and I NEVER remember the weather like this! Rain and cold 🙁
Even with the crappy weather, we still had a great time! **OK so it was still warm but it was mostly overcast, windy and we had a few rain showers 🙂
We started our weekend on Canada Day, at the Park!
For dinner we headed over to RibFest!
My Inlaws took HBear to the fireworks! A friend (Terrah Parkin) took this picture. She said it best, “And this my friends, is why I live in the Okanagan..”
Sunday was SPea’s birthday! She turned 3! We are very fortunate to have been there at her birth, her 1st birthday and now her 3rd! We had a wonderful Paw Patrol birthday party at the beach. The same beach we grew up going to when we celebrated weddings, anniversaries and birthdays 🙂
And like *poof* the weekend was over. What sun we had left and so did my Sis, BIL and SPea 🙁
We had a great family fun weekend. I hope everyone had a terrific Canada Day! We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful country, I feel very full 🙂
This is a delicious skillet! Mexican food is 1 of our favourites and I like to try different ways of using our favourite ingredients. This is a great dish that we all loved. It is filling, flavourful and under 400 calories.
Burrito Bowls
1 pound lean ground turkey
1 cup rice
1 1/4 cup chicken broth
2 cups salsa (I like the Peach Salsa from Costco)
2 teaspoons taco seasoning
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained
1 can corn
1 large can diced tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 cup cheese, grated
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Over medium heat, in a skillet, cook the onion and ground turkey. The turkey should be cooked until it’s no longer pink.
Garnish with tomatoes, cheese, salsa, and green onions. You can also garnish it with sour cream, fresh avocado, and lettuce.
