The fact that these meatballs are a lighter and healthier version instead of the traditional beef/pork/veal mix is not why I made them. The truth of the matter is that I don't care for ground beef... at all. I can make peace with it on some occasions, but when you taste these turkey meatballs I think...

My Favorite Homemade Marinara Sauce
Homemade Marinara Sauce takes a little while to make, but it's not difficult and is a great go-to tomato sauce for all of your favorite dishes. Extra sauce can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Lobster Roll
Why did it take me until the very end of the summer/beginning of Fall to remember that I have been wanting to try this recipe? Oh well, better late than never. Either way, this made for a welcome addition to our sandwich menu this week, and I look forward to making it again in the...
Monte Cristo Sandwich
When my Hubby and I were dating in high school, we would eat out a lot (although it didn't seem like it at the time). One of the places that our group of friends frequented was Bennigan's and I would almost always get their Monte Cristo sandwich. It doesn't seem like it would be that...
Reuben Sandwich with Homemade Russian Dressing
Reubens are one of my Hubby's favorite sandwiches. I typically don't order them when we are out on account of my neutral feelings on sauerkraut. I made these for him, but I also really liked them! My favorite Reuben I've ever eaten, and really easy! The homemade Russian dressing was simple to make, and tasted...
Caprese Sandwich
Sandwiches are quite possibly the single greatest culinary invention of all time. I could live on a sandwich-only diet and be quite content for a very long time. This Caprese sandwich combines some wonderful flavors without much fuss at all. Plus, it's always good to have an excuse to enjoy some of the delicious Basil...
Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake with Buttermilk Icing
It's getting to be that time of the year... Pumpkin time! Our house smells like pumpkin most of the time from Labor Day until New Years. We love pumpkin pie, pumpkin doughnuts (I should share that recipe soon!), pumpkin cake, pumpkin candles, pumpkin waffles (a new favorite), pumpkin spiced lattes and anything else you can...
Classic Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
I tried this recipe for the first time last weekend in an attempt to find a buttercream that I like nearly as much as my favorite Swiss Meringue Buttercream, but that I can whip up in a hurry. I found that if I beat it for a couple of extra minutes at the end, it...
Swiss Meringue Buttercream (Vanilla or Chocolate)
This is my go-to buttercream recipe. It takes some time, and lots of dishes, but it is worth it in the end if you ask me. The texture is perfectly smooth and light with no unpleasant grains of sugar remaining thanks to the fact that the sugar is dissolved in the egg whites. I like...
Triple Berry Bundt Cake
There has been a tremendous amount of baking going on in my life lately, and that is definitely not a complaint. In keeping with that theme, I am going to share some more of my favorite cake recipes from over the years, and some that I am trying for the first time. This triple berry...
