Here's the simple Sunday lunch that sparked me to toss out most of the spices in my cupboard. I'm looking forward to getting a cool rack, however.

First, I started with an iceberg wedge, I love iceberg, even though it's not very nutritious, at least not as much as kale or romaine or other greens. But I LOVE iceberg texture, so I love ordering "wedge salads" when I go out to dinner. I drizzled a simple Paul Newman's Italian dressing on top and that was it. It really was delish.

I also made sloppy joe's with turkey. YUM. That's when I realized I could really use cayenee and paprika and oregano. The oregano looked really old. I added a little but then started googling and came across that really great McCormick Web site that told you everything you ever wanted to know about spices.

This turkey reciple turned out good. I didn't use buns, although I think it would have tasted even better with buns, but I'm trying to avoid carbs as much as possible. I started with olive oil, about two tablespoons and three or four cloves of garlic. With that delicious smell in the air, I was in heaven as I started getting ready for the rest of the dish. After a few minutes, I added about one pound of ground turkey and I used about a half teaspon each of oregano, paprika and cayenee. I kept stirring for a few minutes and then added a 28 ounce can of organic tomatoes, a tiny can of tomatoe paste, and about two cups of water. I kept stirring, maybe 30 minutes longer. That was it. It turned out great, eaten as sort of a stew/soup. I even took some to work for leftovers. I actually tasted even better today.
