Coat the bottom of a large skillet with olive oil and place over medium heat; cook and stir the turkey until crumbled and evenly brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the onion, garlic, and jalapeno pepper into the turkey and continue cooking until the onions begin to caramelize, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with the chili powder, cumin, Cajun seasoning, and salt. Pour the salsa over everything; fold the sweet potatoes into the mixture. Allow the mixture to cook until the excess moisture evaporates. Garnish with the cilantro. Serve with the warm tortillas.

First Baby Food: Peas
Peas make a great first baby food. This is an easy recipe that's great for busy moms and dads to make ahead and freeze. This can be used with other first foods for your baby. Apples or pears are fun or even green beans. Make sure it is mild enough for your baby's developing digestive system.
Homemade Vanilla Pudding
I love pudding and this homemade pudding with vanilla is a rich and delectable dessert. There is no substitute for the butter!
Romano Bean Salad
There are two ways you can do this recipe. You can boil your beans, dress them and serve immediately. I prefer it dressed and left to marinate in the fridge overnight, which gives you something closer to a pickled bean.
