Easter Brunch

For the most part I use ground turkey in my recipes instead of ground beef.  I was pleased to find this Easter brunch recipe in, The Twelve Teas of Celebration, by Emilie Barnes.

Turkey Sausage

Mix together thoroughly with a fork:

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon sage
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Shape into 12 small patties. Fry in ungreased skillet or bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes in shallow pan until done. Do not overcook or patties will become tough. Oven baking produces juicier patties and is easier when feeding a crowd. Makes 12 patties (serves 6).

Challenge to Create

“There needs to be a homemaker exercising some measure of skill, imagination, creativity, desire to fulfill needs and give pleasure to others in the family. How precious a thing is the human family. Is it not worth some sacrifice in time, energy, safety, discomfort, work? Does anything come forth without work?”

― Edith Schaeffer, What Is a Family?

Holidays of the Past

Wired to reminisce,

past Easter seasons are revisited in my thoughts

Grandmother Mollie’s treasured

scrapbook drew me to 1943

three of her sons

are serving overseas, defending

our nation

Mollie watches for mail everyday

she opens the envelope

anxiously looking for a sign of their

well-being

her heart is comforted by the love of her sons and

touching verse….. read over and

                                                              over again   

Easter Is in the Air

Christ arose!  What better excuse could there be to add ‘life’ to my home with colorful reminders of the celebration!  The beauty of flowering buds with their transforming petals as the colors shout out their own form of praise, is room-changing.  And I have a lot of fun with my wreath of eggs each year.
