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!

Real Texas Chili
This chili contains no onions, beans or tomatoes. It is even better the next day. Season to your tastes as it may be too spicy for you. You can also add pinto beans, sour cream and lime juice, if desired.
Cucumber Gazpacho
This summer-ready cucumber gazpacho recipe has an underlying sweetness from honeydew and honey, while the sherry vinegar sharpens those flavors. Serve it with soft herbs, a yogurt drizzle, olive oil-toasted bread cubes, or delicate-tasting seafood, such as crab.
