Stay Healthy!  Another great week of working in the yard… and shooing turkeys off the back porch. You know the scene from Harry Potter when all the owls descend on his house?

The weather has been noticeably cooler this week and I am in full soup-making mode. I love soup!

I bought premade meatballs a few weeks ago to use with dinner. The only issue is we all had trouble sleeping that night. It was like each of us in our family had drank a cup of...

Gather the family around the table for the comfort of a hot, delicious meal with my Crowd-Pleasing Turkey Lasagna. Fresh herbs, creamy cheeses, and ground turkey make this pasta dish a labor of love that everyone will enjoy. Heaven in a Crockery Dish There’s this moment when you pull a pan of lasagna from the oven. The cheese is bubbling and the steam that’s coming from the sauce smells so amazing. Oh my gosh, y’all. It’s heaven in a crockery dish! My whole family smells it cooking and gathers in the kitchen just waiting for this Crowd-Pleasing Turkey Lasagna to...
