I was trying to think of what to make for my lunch and had some left-over ground beef from another recipe so I just kinda made this up as I went along with ingredients I had in the house and it came out pretty tasty. Pair it with a small side salad. It can also be made with pork or chicken.

Serve this on top of a bed of brown rice.

This is a great summer pasta salad. You can use any combo of veggies.
I added baby corn to the recipe and used a combination of fresh herbs from my herb garden. (salad in photo)

Easy Delicious Dessert

The tasty combination of spinach and pears will keep you away from boring salads forever.

This meal can be made either as a casserole or as stuffed zucchini. The zucchini have to be rather large in order to be stuffed but by dicing the zucchini and mixing in a casserole dish, the same flavors can be achieved. The mix almost gives a feeling of sausage instead of ground turkey and Italian seasoning. Turkey sausage (out of the casing and treated like ground meat) can be substituted and the seasoning left out if desired.

Great for bread machines!! Makes 2 full sized calzones

Making applesauce couldn't be easier. Just 3 ingredients (probably ones that you already have on hand)! This recipe doesn't use sugar, because I find that it is not needed, but you could always add sugar to taste.

My mother-in-law (whom is a great cook) gave me this recipe. It is easy, but really yummy! I have made it for week night suppers and fancy occassions. We mix up the spices we use in it constantly. It can be cooked in the oven or the crockpot. I usually cook mine in the crockpot.

Since a lot of you asked for this recipe, here is my basic recipe. I do like to change it up by adding nuts, cottage cheese, flaxseed, wheat germ, chocolate chips, etc. This is also good with butternut squash or acorn squash in place of the pumpkin.

Instead of a whole pie, try making bite-size tarts. The diminutive desserts cook quicker and are automatically portion controlled. Plus, they're easier to make for a crowd, and there's no need for a fork and plate.

This recipe only costs about $3.50 to make--but you save money by buying sheets of phyllo dough and making your own tart shells (see directions for more information).

A hearty, filling way to mix up your ground-turkey usage! This dish has a little kick, so adjust seasonings to your liking for more or less spice. You can top the rice/turkey bake with your preferred fresh vegetables, too! (Peppers, olives, corn, red onion, etc)
