Welcome to My So-Called (Mommy) Life. For many years I had dreamed of writing a food blog; a place where I could share my favorite recipes and and my thoughts on local restaurants. Three years ago I became the mama to a feisty, voracious baby girl, and my life has been a beautiful chaos every since. This year I welcomed a sweet, smiling baby boy to my brood, and life has gotten even more colorful! Like my life, the blog's concept has evolved into something bigger, messier, and better. It's a mix of recipes, toddler food, restaurant reviews, and more. Hopefully this Table of Contents will help you navigate the chaos that is My (So-Called) Mommy Life.

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 x 13 pan.
2. In a large skillet, cook the ground turkey until no longer pink. Season to taste with garlic and chili powder and salt, and then spoon the turkey into a bowl and set aside.
3. In the empty skillet, melt the butter and sauté the kale over medium heat until wilted. Pour kale (with any butter and/or grease left in the pan) into the bowl with the turkey. Stir in the chopped bell peppers with the turkey and kale.
4. In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs.
3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and 1 tsp salt. Once combined, pour into the large bowl and mix with the eggs until smooth.
4. Stir in the cottage cheese and shredded cheese; followed by the turkey/veggie mixture. Pour mixture into the greased baking dish.
5. Bake for 60 minutes, or until cooked through and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
6. Serve immediately or alternatively you can cut it into 12 servings and once cool, it'll keep in the fridge for a week or you can freeze it.
