Turkey Burgers with Apples and Gruyère

November 9, 2026November 8, 2026 RefreshHerLeave a comment

Turkey Burgers have become a favorite for Dale and me in recent years.Like a traditional beef burger, there are so many ways to fix them and zhuzh up the flavor!

I found a recipe for Turkey Burgers with Apples and Gruyère on Skinny Taste’s site, and was sure that the combination of flavors would be delicious. I was not wrong!

I served it without a bun, so my daughter told me it was technically not a “burger,” it was a patty! Whatever you want to call it, you can be sure that with or without a bun, this is a fantastic meal!

Another Reason To Shop Hobby Lobby

November 6, 2026November 6, 2026 RefreshHer6 Comments

Maybe you don’t need another reason to visiit Hobby Lobby, but I have to share some great sale items and deals I found while shopping recently that can be used long after the holiday season is over!

Yesterday while I purusing the aisles of Hobby Lobby’s Thanksgiving and Christmas sections, I realized that there are so many items that aren’t “holiday specific” that are such a good deal at 50% off. You have to walk down the aisles and look through the lens of practicality. There are so many items that are sitting innocently amongst the holiday merchandise just waiting to be noticed and used beyond Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Let me show you a bunch of items I found that could serve anyone at other times of the year!

Apple Cider Pork Tenderloin

I love a good pork recipe! Some years back, Cracker Barrel served an Apple Cider Pork Tenderloin. It was so delicious! I knew I had to try to reinvent the recipe at home. I remember that when I served it, the platter was cleaned!

I recently went through my recipes here on my blog and stumbled across that recipe that I came up with. I had a pork tenderloin in the freezer, as well as apple cider and jars of apple butter, so I put this in the crock pot for our dinner. It came out tender and juicy!

Transformer Mommy

As a follow-up from my recent podcast on The Grace-Filled Home, I want to share the other side of motherhood – the side that shows our nature that gets frustrated, and not at all like Christ. I pray it will encourage you as a mom.

I’m a mother of daughters, so I’m not too familiar with the Transformer toys that I see the boys playing with at church, but I understand that they can change from one thing to another. I recently saw a “Mommy Transformer” when I was in town.

Hash Brown and Turkey Sausage Casserole, perfect for breakfast or brunch

October 26, 2026October 25, 2026 RefreshHerLeave a comment

Most mornings my breakfast consists of Greek yogurt, fruit and granola. But about once or twice a week I’ll make something warm and a little more filling. Last week was a new recipe that was delicious, substantial, but also light!

I found a recipe for a Hash Brown Casserole with Turkey Sausage and Cherry Tomatoes in my Cooking Light Cookbook. It suggested serving it as a side dish for a casual meal, or a main dish with coffee and fresh fruit at breakfast or brunch. I put it on my menu to serve for breakfast, and it made enough to freeze half and use the rest for a few breakfasts for my husband and myself! This is what I’d prepared when a friend came over for our bread-making lesson. She enjoyed it, too!

Here’s the recipe:
