When I Look in the Mirror I See…5 minute Friday and a recipe.

I am again joining in on a blog hop over at the gypsy mama. This week’s thought starter is When I Look in the Mirror I See…And I’m not really sure. I see a woman who is kind of a blonde but kind of has brown hair. And I actually just barely see my face because I am only 4 ft 9 and a half(!).

I see someone who is lumpier than she used to be. Her hubby is a great cook and having three kids in 4 years doesn’t give a lot of time to smooth out the exterior before the next baby comes and makes it lumpy again. And I see a mama who would not trade those three girls for anything. And would be lumpy a dozen times over if it meant having more children running around.

I see a mama who has changed a great deal since welcoming her third daughter and who is still trying to figure out this new person, but wouldn’t trade Patrice for all the peace and tranquility in the world. Just a moment of my girls lives is worth every moment of sadness, frustration, confusion, all of it.

What can you say in 5 minutes about the woman you see in the mirror?

The above was written by the rules of 5 minutes, but then I was hopping to another person’s blog and found another hop.  This one was looking for a recipe so I thought I would share that too. 

Super Easy Turkey Chili

Mix 1 tsp chili powder in with one pound of ground turkey.  Brown turkey.  Add 1 carton mild fresh salad (found in the refrigerated section often near the deli).  Stir.  Add 1 can black beans.  Smash beans into chili to thicken up a bit.  Simmer for 10-15 minutes.  Serve with rolls and enjoy!
