A delicious meal...really!

I've posted about the crazy things we feed Ellie, so I thought I should post about the truly delicious too! Last night, we tried a new recipe (which we made up)...turkey burgers with spinach, roasted red peppers and goat cheese. We sauteed the spinach with a ton of garlic, chopped up the red pepper, a bit of onion, and a little bit of goat cheese -- mixed it all together and made it into burgers. Oh. My. Gosh. They were DELICIOUS! We made an extra, slightly smaller one for Ellie (we both considered eating it ourselves for breakfast, but decided to at least let Ellie try it). She had it today at lunch and loved it! She ate an entire burger, a couple grape tomatoes, a cutie, a bit of apple (she likes eating BIG slices of apple), and some avocado. After several days of not having much of an appetite, it was so great to see her eat such a big, healthy lunch...even if Damian and I were salivating over her burger the entire time!

Very cool! What a wonderful thing to have a recipe that you will all eat so happily. I wonder if you two standing there waiting for Ellie's leftovers had anything to do with her decision to eat it! :)

Sounds delicious!!! We make the same burgers but also with mushrooms and tons of herbs. . .and meat not turkey. So, not exactly the same:) But reading this makes me want to eat one right now.
