Crockpot Turkey Breast

Around Easter I decided I would try my hand at making a Turkey Breast. I quickly realized I did not have a roasting pan and was honestly kind of afraid to make it. Instead, I decided to look for recipes that would use a crockpot. When I landed on this one I seemed perfect! The big question was "will it actually fit in the crockpot?!" Thank GOODNESS it did (just barely)! This make for the most moist and savory turkey and GREAT for sandwiches to get you through the week!

This recipe is soooo simple! All you will need is olive oil, pepper, seasoning salt, paprika, Italian seasoning and my personal favorite garlic powder. Oh and of course, a turkey breast. Mine was about 8 lbs, but I definitely could've gone for a smaller one closer to 6 lbs. This one made LOTS of slices!
Picture
This spice mixture is EASY! 1 tsp of each spice and mix together! 
Picture
Add in a 1/2 cup of water
Picture
Coat the turkey breast in about 1 tbsp of olive oil and the seasoning mix. Be sure to get it on all sides. Cook on low for about 6 hours. I ended up cooking it on high or 1 hour and low for 5.5 hours. But low for 6 hours should be plenty!

After 6 hours and a carve later this is the delicious result! Let rest for about 10-15 minutes before carving too. ENJOY!

One of the most hated vegetables by kids has gotten itself a really great publicist! Cauliflower is one of the most versatile vegetables and essentially takes on any flavor you give to it! 

This particular recipe for mashed cauliflower is soooo good! And much lighter than your traditional mashed potatoes. It is a great way to sneak veggies into your kid's dinner! 
Printable Recipe

You'll need the following ingredients: one head of cauliflower, garlic, heavy whipping cream, grated cheddar, butter, salt, pepper and mozzarella cheese. 
Picture
Start by cutting your cauliflower into florets. Then bring to a boil and let cook for about 20 minutes. 
Picture
Now, I'm not going to lie. I read the recipe like 10 times making sure this was correct, but it does work! Place two WHOLE garlic cloves in with the cauliflower to be boiled. 
Picture
Once the cauliflower is tender enough (think potato fork-tender) drain the water. 
Picture
Place your butter in the pot 
Picture
Add in milk
Picture
Add in grated parmesan 
Picture
Salt & Pepper
Picture
Picture
Blend together with an immersion blender or using a traditional blender and do in batches 
Picture
Make this extra cheesy by adding in some shredded parmesan 
Picture
Finish it off with dried (or fresh) parsley
