Hello to all my foodie friends out there in web land I hope this finds you sharing your love for family and Friends this holiday season. However if you are alone I say go out and find a friend to cook with and share some laughter hopefully this Christmas. I know that is not always possible to do depending on your family I know at my house when I was little the environment sometimes was not the best this time of year so when I got grown I decided to make sure my kids had a happy time and felt all kinds of love from me especially this time of year. Not only do I try to let them know I love them but I try to share the love I feel this time of year to others. Remember the reason for the season. I will not be posting anymore for 2013 so I'll make this a blog for Christmas and the New Year. Did you know that in the year 1813 what the most popular candy was? It was Peppermint lifesavers every home had to have peppermint candy for the holidays. Petite Madeleine's were popular desserts. In 1813 the Pineapple was introduced in Hawaii. Pride and Prejudice was first published in the United Kingdom. Let's see in 1913 some small events were: The 16th amendment to the United States Constitution is raffied, which also means Income Tax. New York City Grand Central Terminal having been rebuilt, reopens as the largest railroad station.Woodrow Wilson succeeds William Howard Taft as President of the United States. The Camel cigarette brand is introduced by R.J. Reynolds in the United State, Hench, I'd walk a mile for a camel, not me. Well I would go into 2013 but you all know what has been happening with that. No need for a repeat. So for your Christmas dinner let's make some Mashed Potatoes. You all know to cut your potatoes the same size so they cook the same amount of time. You heat up your Milk and butter so your potatoes stay nice and hot and whip up easier for you. Salt and Pepper to taste. You may also want to add some Sour Cream to the mix. However some people add a pinch of nutmeg tot hem to enhance the flavour so they say. Now if you want to lighten up your mix of mashed potatoes, I suggest that you add Buttermilk instead add Sour Cream and Cream and add 1/2 the butter you would normally use. You will add a little more of the Buttermilk. It gives it a really nice flavor with out the calories. Any who what ever milk you use pour it into the potatoes before you mash them. I can't seem to find a photo of my Mashed Potatoes but come on people you do know what they look like. hehe.
Mashed Potatoes
Season 04
5 pounds Potatoes peeled and diced, cook in salted water
1 stick Butter
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 cup Milk more if needed to smooth your potatoes
1 Cup Sour Cream
Cook the potatoes in salted water. Heat your butter and milk on the stove. Drain your potatoes when tender. Start beating potatoes and add Salt, pepper
and sour cream to the mix. Slowly beat
in your heated butter and milk. Serve
hot and if you want to cut the fat heat 1 ½ cups buttermilk instead of using
the butter.
I did find pictures of the Turkey Burgers that I made the other night and my hubby loved them. Very tasty and I gotta tell ya, that when I owned my cafe everyone came in after the holidays and for about two weeks they were all on diets then it all faded away from memory. Any who the top foods googled for 2013 for your FYI trend was the word DIET! Go figure, any who here a diet recipe that you will use over and over again. By the way season two of the TV show I made Black Bean Burgers that were the BOMB I was told, are they still using the phrase? Any who the Black bean Burger recipe is on my blogs as well, no picture because at the time I didn't know how to get it on this thing called a computer. Any who here is your trendy diet Turkey Burgers bought to you by me, Madjon and Cooking is my game. I also want to say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to one and all. Thanks so much for reading my blog and trying my recipes. Please email me at madjon51@aol.com or like my facebook fan page ,"Cooking With MadJon & Friends." Happy trails to you until we meet again.
Diet Turkey Burgers
1 pound ground Turkey
1 tsp. Onion & Garlic Powders
1 TBSP Worcestershire Sauce
Salt and Pepper to taste

Olive Oil for Grilling
I used my George Foremen to grille these burgers and FYI I also use it to grill a lot of Chicken Breast, best thing ever to cook them with, the breast stay moist and cook even. Any who you are the mix all ingredients with the ground turkey meat and foam into patties and grill in a pan or if you are lucky enough to own a George Foremen Grill then use it. I use about 2 to 3 TBSP of Olive oil to coat the pan with.
