Majestique's DELICOUS Turkey Sausage Patties!!!!

TURKEY SAUSAGE PATTIES! ~ Promoting a healthy heart and healthy eating!

Believe it or not, I catch a LOT of flack from my southern relatives because I do not eat beef or pork. I hear it everytime I visit and meal time comes around. First question... "are you Muslim"... answer.. "NO.... I just recognize that our family has a history of diabetes and hypertension...and I want to curve my chances of battling those diseases.. if I can by eating healthier". Sometimes, I believe that some people are offended... "oh, you're too good to eat what we have!" or "Pork ain't never hurt nobody!!! Look at me.. I'm fit" But the difference in our grandparents eating that way and us eating that way is they were a lot more active than we are. They ate from the farm.. but they worked the farm... therefore, working all of the calories and moving the harmful toxins out. WE... eat that same way, but then sit in front of a television.. or worse.. take a nap! SO.... in lieu of ALLLLLLLL the comments I receive from my "pork and beef" eaters.. I still say... Don't knock it until you TRY IT!!! It's a lifestyle change... and it may not be for everyone.. but I will continue to share healty recipes I come across!!!! So.. in Memory of my Uncle Eddie.. here's a good one!!!!



1 pound Ground turkey meat
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage or 1/4 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, allspice or mace
olive oil for frying


In large bowl, combine turkey meat and all ingredients except olive oil.
Mix well and Shape mixture into patties about 1/2 inch thick.
In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm a thin film of olive oil.
Fry the patties, turning once, until golden and cooked through. about 7 minutes on each side.
Serve Immediately!

(I actually serve my turkey sausage patties with rice and collard greens for dinner! YUMMMMMY) ~ and by the way... I've been beef and pork free for 15 years... and I FEEL GREAT!!!!!!!!!!

TWENTY (one) Inspirational & Feel Good Songs!!!!!!

Sometimes, It’s hard to stay motivated and in “good” spirits! You can wake up feeling GREAT and with one phone call or butt-munch in traffic, your mood may take a drastic turn. So… you have to find something … QUICK … to turn that frown upside down. One thing I turn to or on, and I’m sure everyone turns to as well is MUSIC!!!! It soothes the soul!!! So, with that in mind I recently took a poll amongst my friends and clients and asked them to name a song that inspired, uplifted or made them simply stop what they were doing and “rock out” in one form or another!!!! In no particular order… here are some of the songs I received… including a few of my own personal favorites!!!!!

Have an Inspirationally Majestique Day!!!!

Finding Focus ~ Quiet Sundays!

Quiet Sundays….Finding Focus



A Majestique Favorite... so I am re posting!

Good Morning!! Sunday is my quiet day.. or at least it is supposed to be quiet. But with children… it doesn’t work that way all of the time!

Most Sundays, I get up around 7am (while everyone - the world & my household is still asleep) Light my Majestique Candle… (Vineyard Seascape, Total Spa or Grapefruit Splash are my favorites from www.MajestiqueSpa.com ) Shower (peacefully), dress in a light flowing and loose fitting garment and just sit still.. meditate… breathe. Take in all of the beautiful energy of a Sunday morning.. rain or shine. I do a breathing exercise that calms, centers and energizes.

Sitting still- back straight, seated on the floor or chair (indoors or out)

Take deep breath in for 4 counts, Hold for 4 counts, exhale for 4 counts and hold for 4 counts.

Repeat as many times as needed.

While doing this exercise….when inhaling… try to inhale positive thoughts…positive energy… positive images… positive feelings.. The Spirit of GOD.

When exhaling… exhale all of the negative…energy, thoughts, feelings and images…..(that other dude that attacks daily)

Believe it or not… it works. It helps me be able to clear my mind and relax…allowing me to think “lightly” about my week ahead. A nice cup of Tea always helps… (I recommend a blend from my new affiliate ~ www.TeaForte.com ) I also take this time to prepare a nice Sunday breakfast.. with smooth Jazz, Uplifting Inspirational or Uplifting Gospel to accompany my lifted spirits!!!! If you have a large bunch be sure to try my "Zip Lock Omelets" (find this under the April 2009 achieves)

If you don’t already have a Quiet Sunday routine.. try it out, and tell me how you feel afterwards.

PEACE!!! & Blessings!

Ms. Majestique
