Back? Hopefully
So it has been a long time since I've even thought about my blog, but I really do miss it. I miss talking about my feelings and my life and hopefully resonating with someone, and maybe even helping someone. I know it started to feel like a chore, but I was trying to find content that would be beneficial for you all, like inspiring quotes and recipes... but is that what you really want? So I'm ready to come back and be in your radar... tell me what would you like me to post about?

Tasteful Thursday - Healthy Ground Turkey Pasta Bake
Healthy Ground Turkey Pasta Bake
Ingredients
- 16 oz whole wheat spaghetti noodles
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- 1/2 Tbsp avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cups broccoli cut into florets
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 24 oz marinara sauce no sugar added
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan divided in half
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- Fresh cracked black pepper and Italian seasoning to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cook spaghetti according to package instructions using a large pot.
- While spaghetti is cooking, cook ground turkey in a large skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Use a wooden spoon and/or spatula to break the meat up and stir it until cooked through. When meat is cooked and no longer pink, drain any grease if necessary, and transfer to a bowl. Set aside.
- Rinse out the same skillet and wipe with a paper towel. Return to medium-high heat. Drizzle ~1/2 Tbsp avocado oil and add broccoli florets. Cook for about 5 minutes, until broccoli starts to brown, then add chopped onion and garlic, stirring with a spatula to incorporate. Cook veggies for an additional 5 minutes or so, or until onion is translucent.
- When spaghetti is al dente, drain water using a large colander, then transfer cooked spaghetti back to the large pot. Add all ingredients to the pot with spaghetti: cooked ground turkey, broccoli, garlic and onion, marinara sauce and 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Transfer spaghetti, turkey and veggie mixture to a greased 9x13 pan. Top with 1 cup mozzarella cheese & remaining Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle evenly over the top. Add dried Italian seasoning and fresh cracked black pepper, to taste, if desired.
- Put in oven to bake for 20-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and pasta bake is hot throughout. Serve immediately.
- Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Recap Tuesday - 11/10/20
Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a great week training last week. I did ok, not exactly where I want to be yet, but getting there. Here is my recap -
Monday - body pump
Tuesday - 3 mile run
Wednesday - Run Club
Thursday - rest
Friday - rest
Saturday - Nuun virtual 1/2 marathon
Sunday - rest
My Nuun 1/2 Marathon was a lot of fun. A friend was doing her Disney virtual 1/2 at the same time and it was her very first 1/2 marathon, so we made it into a physical race with aid stations and cut outs to take pictures with. Here are some of the fun pics we took -
I would've preferred to have some more strength training in there, but body pump is still kicking my butt :D Plans for more this week.
Tuesday - 3 mile run
Wednesday - run club
Thursday - 5 mile run, strength train
Friday - strength train
Saturday - spin class
Sunday - 10 mile run
Now to hold myself accountable. What are your plans for this week?
