How to make turkey lettuce wraps

We are currently trying to use up all of those random things in the freezer a d cupboard and staying away from the store other than milk and bread. Tonight I used up a package of turkey for lettuce wraps.

What you'll need:

-turkey, seasoned to your liking
-romaine hearts
-salsa (I used homemade black bean salsa and guacamole)

Easy peasy! Even got Launa to eat some veggies without complaint! Can't be too bad on the calories too.

Phoenix Zoo

We spent last weekend's 102 degree day at the zoo. Thankfully they have two splash pads to cool off the babes.

Arizona BBQ fest

We hit up the Arizona BBQ Fest as an anniversary present from my in laws. We arrived a little early so got to see some pig roasting while waiting for the gates to open. Charlie was impressed. Launa was not.

There was quite a crowd all day and it started to heat up so we didn't stay too long. But we still managed to try our fair share of food.
