Friends, you need to make these sandwiches immediately! I've been making them for ages, and they are absolutely delicious. This recipe offers a healthier alternative to ground beef and comes together incredibly fast. You can have it on the table in about 30 minutes, even with a toddler demanding attention (trust me, I've been there!). I typically serve these with Funyons or regular chips (please don't judge!). For a healthier option, consider chips and salsa or carrot and celery sticks with a side of fruit. The sandwiches are so flavorful, they don't need fancy sides to shine.

What's your favorite vegetable? We love broccoli in our house, we have it at least once a week. I usually steam it with a little garlic, butter, salt and pepper. While searching for new ways to cook broccoli I stumbled upon this recipe from Smitten Kitchen , if you have not seen her blog I highly recommend it, she is amazing! I have to admit I was a little nervous to make this dish, I was worried it would taste like broccoli soup but I it did not taste that way at all!! This was a very tasty dinner, Jacob and Lucy ate it up! It was also really quick to prepare, plus if you use the same pot to cook everything, as instructed, you only have to clean the pot and the blender or food processor!

If you grew up in the 80's, the phrase "It's Time to Make the Doughnuts" is instantly recognizable. When I saw Ree Drummond, "The Pioneer Woman," prepare these on FoodNetwork, I knew I had to try them myself! Despite my long-standing intimidation about making homemade doughnuts, her demonstration instilled 100% confidence in me. The doughnuts were absolutely delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness from the glaze. My personal favorites were the ones I topped with a chocolate glaze. I highly recommend giving these a try!
