In a large bowl, add onion, sun dried tomatoes, breadcrumbs, cheese, ketchup, egg, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Mix together. Add ground turkey, lamb, and turkey sausage. Use hands to mix thoroughly but do not over mix.
Use small ice cream scoop or small spoon to place meatloaf mixture into muffin tins filling them to the top, making sure they are flat at the top.

Spoon mashed potatoes into pastry bag with desired tip. Pipe mashed potatoes onto mini meatloaf cupcakes and enjoy.

Red Beans and Black Rice Soup with Turkey Sausage
Apr 18th
Red Beans and Black Rice Soup
Yields: 6 servings
Ingredients:
3-4 spicy Turkey sausage links
1/2 cup uncooked black rice or 1 cup cooked rice
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes (undrained)
1 (14.5 oz) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
4 cups vegetable broth
1 large onion, diced
1 carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
3 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, divided (again, adjust accordingly based on spice preference)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions:
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Place the sausage in the pot and cook until nicely browned, stirring often. Remove from the pot with a slotted spoon. If there is an excess amount of fat, drain it from the pot.
Reduce the heat to medium, and add the onion, carrot, celery, and half of the Cajun seasoning. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the diced tomatoes, broth, bay leaf, remaining Cajun seasoning, and kidney beans into the pot. Return the sausage to the soup and bring to a boil.
If rice is uncooked, add the black rice to the soup, and simmer over medium-low until the rice is cooked, about 35-40 minutes. If you are adding cooked rice, add to soup for the last few minutes to warm through.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and serve.
Chocolate Stuffed Raspberries
Apr 17th
This isn’t really a recipe but these chocolate stuffed raspberries are a big hit with kids and adults alike. You can use them as a tasty treat, an afternoon snack or on ice cream and other desserts. I simply stuffed chocolate chips inside each raspberry with a bit of caramel and voilà the perfect snack!
Ingredients:
1 cup of fresh raspberries, washed
Chocolate chips (I used vegan chocolate chips, but regular chocolate or even white chocolate chips would be great)
Caramel
Directions:
Clean raspberries then lay them on a paper towel to soak up the excess water. Using a tooth pick, dab a little caramel in center of each raspberry. Then gently push a chocolate chip into the center of each raspberry.
Serve immediately and enjoy.
