Tater Tot Casserole

Being a food blogger means that I look at many different sites when finding new meals to try. I am not talking just one or two website. Sometimes I have looked at a dozen different sites before I look at Pinterest. O, the hours and dozens of websites that Pinterest have provided. One of the joys I get when looking for meals is the variety of sites and even more the variety of people behind the sites. It is one to hop on a website, printing off the meal you like to fix for dinner, and walking away. But it is another thing to try and take a moment and look around the website and try to get to know the person behind the meal. Us bloggers come from all different walks of life. Some are stay at home parents, some blog about more than just food, and some of us have a full time job but enjoy cooking as a hobby (I am in this group). This week I found my meal on a site called Simply Being Mommy. Like always, I roam around the site looking for other meals, find out about the author and any fun facts about the site. Well this time I came across something that I was not expecting. Crystal, the author of the site, is a surrogate mother. To me that is pretty interesting. In my opinion that takes love to a whole new level. And as I do not know any surrogates personally, following her blog will help educate me on what it is like. Plus, she has fun recipes :) (like tater tot Casserole).

1 lb. Ground Turkey

1 bag of tater tots (32 oz. Bag)
