Never trust a dentist that’s open on Sunday.
I’m pretty sure I learned this the hard way this week. It’s been an embarrassingly long time since I last went to the dentist, so I decided this past weekend was the right time to finally check it off my to-do list.
So, being the technology savvy millennial that I am, I jumped on an app called ZocDoc that pairs you with doctors in the area that accept your insurance.
Their version of professional dentist photography involved shoving a compact mirror and a digital camera in my mouth to photograph my teeth (and that’s just one example). Plus, I walked away with thousands of dollars of suggested dental work (hello, second opinion). And here I was just hoping for them not to make fun of me for not flossing regularly.
So if you learn anything today, it’s that you should never trust a dentist that’s open on a Sunday. As my mom said, they should be at church.
Okay, let’s talk about one pan recipes. Does it get much better? Throw a bunch of stuff in a pan and just like that you have a healthy meal ready in just 30 minutes!
Given the smashing success of my Amish One-Pan Ground Beef and Cabbage Skillet, I wanted to try to make it a little lighter. So, I give you, Lightened Up One-Pan Cabbage and Ground Turkey Skillet! It uses ground turkey instead of beef, and I even snuck in some broccoli slaw for an extra veggie boost.
