I created this ground chicken spaghetti recipe on the fly because I didn't have my usual ingredients for a sauce. I was so happy with how it tasted that I decided to make this my first recipe submission. This makes a very light sauce. If you prefer a heartier sauce, add 1/2 can of tomato paste or even use crushed tomatoes instead of whole, but I encourage you to try it as written; it's so yummy! Serve over al dente spaghetti noodles. I hope you enjoy!

Orange-Blueberry-Yogurt Breakfast Parfaits
My family loves this simple parfait for breakfast or dessert (depending on your yogurt and granola choices). The orange zest adds a fresh pop to your usual yogurt parfait. I like serving these on the 4th of July!
Watermelon, Strawberry, and Herbs
I am always looking for ways to add fresh herbs from my small garden to my food. I was so delighted to find that lavender and mint go well together in this watermelon and strawberry salad recipe. Happy eating!
