Lemon and Fresh Herb Roasted Chicken

Ground turkey can be a great healthier alternative to ground beef.  Unfortunately it can be a little pricey, but I like to use it every so often for dinners, even dinners that call for ground beef.  One thing to remember when using ground turkey when making burgers, meatballs or even a meatloaf...

Dairy Free Sausage Gravy with Biscuits

     I don't know why, but I have had a taste for biscuits and gravy.  I couldn't remember the last time I had this, and this is typically not something I'd make for our dinners.  Biscuits?  Sure, but wasn't sure how the kids would like the sausage gravy.  The trick...

Easy Stuffed Peppers

     Today I made Stuffed Peppers for dinner.  Neither David nor I could remember the last time we had them.  Nicky and I had a busy day ahead of us, so I was able to prep everything before we left, put the peppers in the fridge, and baked them when we got home.   ...

Lemon, Tomato, and Basil Orzo Pasta Salad

    I'm always thinking of new ideas to make for us for dinner as either a main dish or a side dish.  Since we are on the go a lot with baseball, many of our meals have to be quick, easy, and transportable (if that's even a word).  I was able to use both fresh basil and tomatoes...
