Ground Turkey and Bean Burritos | Friday Foodie Feature

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

Tonight my son and his date will be attending the Appoquinimink Senior High School Prom and he will be staying out much later than he ever has. You know that I won’t get much sleep until he walks back in the door, I’ll be praying that they all have a safe and wonderful time!  

Monday is Cinco de Mayo, which isn’t a major holiday in Mexico; but here in America, it’s an excuse to over indulge in Mexican food and to drink lots of beer.  So in honor of this holiday, today’s Friday’s Foodie Feature is an easy recipe for Ground Turkey and Bean Burritos.

Saturday with the Seniors

Hello Friends and Welcome to the Weekend!

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day and regardless of where you went, what you ate or what gift you received, you were able to spend quality time with people you love because that’s all that truly matters.

Last Saturday hubby and I spent most of the day with our son at Appoquinimink High School’s Wrestling Team’s Senior Day – now that’s a mouthful!  Some of you may know that my son started wrestling after the Thanksgiving break and he finished the season with a 5-5 record due to a knee injury.  Saturday was his last match, which he lost but all in all he enjoyed the experience and bonding with his teammates and the coaches.

Prior to the match, each soon-to-graduate Senior escorted their parents/guardians onto the gym floor and presented their mother with a rose.

Malik enjoyed wrestling this season and regretted that he didn’t join the team during his earlier years of High School.

Wrestling at 170 lbs, this was his last match and you can see the disappointment on his face after the disappointing loss.

But like the good athlete he is, it only lasted a few minutes and after talking to his dad, he was back enjoying the rest of the matches with his teammates.

It was a great day and watching the team knowing that it’s the end of the season was more bittersweet for me than for him.
