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!

Delicious Ahi Fish Burgers with Chives
I got this fish burger recipe from my coworker and loved it. Then I made it for my boyfriend, and now he's the one who loves it. You can eat this plain or as a burger. I recommend eating them with hamburger buns, mayo, lettuce, and onions.
Dairy-Free Creamy Broccoli Soup
The satiny texture of this soup will make you think it's cream-based, but it's absolutely dairy-free and delicious! It's a perfect dish to use up leftover broccoli stalks that don't fit into other meals. It freezes well and makes a great winter warm-up snack or lunch! Can be served immediately, seasoned with black pepper, curry powder, or even grated cheese (for people who don't mind dairy) or can be frozen in individual portions and microwaved later.
