Good Morning beauties and happy Tuesday to everyone!
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, and your long weekends for all the American’s out there!
I spent the weekend celebrating a couple of friends’ birthdays, so it was a busier one for me. It was a lot of fun actually, and am so glad I went out to celebrate their special day.
I didn’t get many pictures in because I was having too much fun, but let’s just say it included a few of these.
Yah, not feeling the best the next day, but it was well worth it 
And is that not the most fun cup ever? It’s a huge margarita glass with an awesome pink boa wreath around it with a sparkly bottom. Love.
Since I wasn’t feeling the best the next day, baking was about the productive thing I did.
I made some turkey burgers inspired by this recipe from Courtney.
Italian Turkey Burgers (makes 5 burgers)
- 454 grams extra lean ground turkey breast (1 lb.)
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon italian seasonings
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (if you like spice)
Combine all ingredients together in a bowl and mix until combined. Refrigerate the turkey mixture for about 20 minutes (or longer). Separate into 5 equal sized patties. Cook on a stove or grill about 8 minutes per side (depends on stove). Top with desired toppings and eat! These are really good and perfectly healthy! I cooked these in a little coconut oil, and it gave them a nice crisp side. So scrumptious.
I enjoyed one of these with some spaghetti squash, asparagus, marinara, and goat cheese.
Besides baking and spending time with friends, my Sunday was treated with some hangover toast and a side of starbucks.
I toasted 2 pieces ezekiel bread and topped it with coconut oil, stevia, cinnamon and a little sea salt. It’s a beautiful tasting thing.
Get ready for more of my baking adventures coming up in future posts.
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the day!
What did you do this weekend?

So glad you had a fun weekend! Those are the best. I need to try that coconut oil toast!
It tastes magical!
That margarita glass is SOOO fun, I want it too! The hangover toast sounds great. I too had a headache this morning from a couple drinks yesterday and toasted up an english muffin with Laughing Cow cheese to have with my morning coffee. REALLY made me feel a lot better! It’s amazing how much I crave toasty carbs after drinking
That bowl of squash goat cheese marinara GOODNESS looks fantastic. So do the turkey burgers. I love those and Courtney often has great recipes for them!
Glad you had a fun weekend!
Haha carbs are my saving grace when I’m hungover, they are about the only thing I can stomach the next day! Yah Courtney’s recipes always sound so delicious!
haha I am totally loving that glass
Too cute for words!
hope you are feeling better
I’ve never thought about adding nutritional yeast to a burger. I love that stuff.
It’s so yummy eh
HAHAHHA!! Oh honey, I can relate…I was like that Sunday morning after an afterparty we attended in Edmonton. I thought I was going to die when I woke up at 8am to go meet a prospect at starbucks at 9:30…..I kept thinking “why on earth did anyone schedule this so early!”
Its fun while it lasts then not so much the next day
xxoo
Oh man, yah early in the day is NO fun. I felt like dying haha. The next day I’m always like why did I go out, but the day after I’m a lot happier hehe
Such a cute class!! Hope you’re feeling back to yourself today though!
I had my baby shower this weekend which was so nice! My twin sister decorated everything and it all looked amazing! I definitely felt really blessed!
Definitely better today
I saw the pictures! They were so beautiful! I can’t believe how great and professional it looked! So impressive! It looked like a ton of fun
Brittany from B’s healthy habits does her toast like that too and I have been wanting to ever since she mentioned it! I forgot my coconut oil in London, so I’ll have to pick some up
So happy you had too much fun with your friends to take pics! <3 That makes me happy babe
Oooh twinsies
It’s really good. Coconut oil is my love child these days. <3
I ended up staying in NYC with my boyfriend and went on a 30 mile bike ride! (I’ve been exhausted every since) haha
I’m getting my drink on this weekend since it’s my 26 (eeeek) Birthday!
xo
Oh gosh, I’d be pretty exhausted too! That’s crazy! Oh happy early birthday! That’s exciting! Birthdays are the best
I’ve never tried putting coconut oil on toast. It’s really good??
Yah, its really good. It tastes a bit like butter, but with a slight coconutty tone to it, if that makes any sense at all, which it probably doesn’t hah..
So nice to hear you were living it up this weekend, and that you were baking- since I’m basically obsessed with your yummy recipes. I think I’m going to try these burgers, with chicken in the very near future- love that you added nooch to them:).
Xxx
They rock! I love the nutritional yeast because it binded them and I didn’t have to use cheese. Which I love, but its better on top!
This is the kind of burger I was craving at my family barbeque! Unfortunately all that was there was regular burgers and hot dogs. I didn’t settle though! I got myself a veggie burger on way home. Next time I’m making these for the healthy people.
Oh and i’m proud of you for actually baking something while having a hangover! I’ve been there and I know it takes alot.
Oh man, don’t you hate that hah. Next time though! I know I’m quite impressed I got the motivation to bake stuff, usually that never happens!
