Looking for an impressive dish that is easy to make, healthy, affordable, AND pretty darn tasty?
 Look no further! Turkey Marsala with Cauliflower and Spinach Mash is a gourmet meal made on a budget! The creamy Cauliflower and Spinach Mash is a flavorful and healthy side dish in place of heavier mashed potatoes. 
I originally found this Turkey Marsala recipe, a take on the more popular Chicken or Veal Marsala, in a cookbook by Bobby Deen. I have since made it numerous times at home. It is delicious with the Cauliflower and Spinach Mash but mashed potatoes or pasta are also tasty accompaniments.

🦀 Check out our lunch yesterday at my parents favorite local spot, @soiasianbistro . We tried a variety of items off of their massive updated menu.
🍣 The sushi was by far the best thing we ordered. Another must try is the Shiso Mono appetizer, which is tempura fried Japanese basil leaves stuffed with spiced tuna. 
🍤 We also ordered cucumber salad, pork ramen, udon noodles, and chicken katsu curry. All were tasty and big enough to share with the sushi appetizer. 
🍜 I recommend checking out Soi Bistro if you are in town and enjoy fresh seafood and Asian dishes like we do. But save it for a date night or special occasion b/c their price point was pretty high for a casual meal. ❤

Happy Mardi Gras! We enjoyed a delicious Cajun inspired meal tonight at home. We started with Shrimp and Grits and ended with Bananas Foster to share. We may not live in Louisiana anymore but we can still celebrate #FatTuesday ! Here's hoping the parades will be back next year. 📿❤ #mardigras2020 #bananasfoster #whatsfordinner #mardigras

It's one of those days...furnance went out (but was fixed), kids took over my bed, husband had to leave early for work, dog barked non stop, and it's a snow day... again. But the sun is shining, the kids are happy, and I'm stocked up on coffee and new books. So it's not so bad after all. #staypositive
