You won’t miss the beef with these turkey burgers that are tender, flavorful and juicy…and easy to throw together. They will be a staple dinner, with or without bacon, for the rest of the summer.

This is a great sausage for pizzas and pasta. By finely chopping the spinach and cooking it in the sausage, my son (along with the rest of us) consumes healthy leafy greens without even noticing!

Appreciate the vivid colors and natural beauty of fruits, vegetables and spices: dye your Easter eggs with everyday foods rather than boxes of chemical colorings. This is a great family project and learning experience. Though it will take a little more planning than your basic Easter egg dye kit, I think you will find the extra time well worth it. Even though I’m a “grown-up,” I felt a child-like excitement watching the eggs turn colors in bowls of cabbage, spinach, blueberries and more!

One of my favorite candies is Andes Chocolate Mints. With this recipe, you can leave the mint frosting white but I like to color it green so that it looks like Andes mints. (And the touch of green gets you out of being pinched on St. Paddy’s Day!)

Over the past couple of years we have made Tikka Masala many times in an effort to perfect it. It typically has heavy cream so our goal has been to create a lighter version while matching the restaurant creaminess and flavor. The last time we made this, our fifteen-month old son couldn’t get enough of it!

I’m a fan of pistou, the French version of pesto, because it doesn’t have pine nuts. The sauce is light and doesn’t overpower the pasta. Made without chicken, this pistou pasta would also make a yummy side dish.

Similar to crêpes and Swedish pancakes, these Norwegian pancakes are a favorite in my family. They are a fun meal because you can serve them with a smorgasbord of toppings and fillings.

This pasta dish is sneaky because it disguises healthy veggies and makes them appealing to kids (and adults). There is nothing more satisfying than watching your child scarf down spinach and tomatoes… and ask for seconds!

One of the best parts about this pie (besides the large tender chunks of cinnamon-sugar apple baked under a melt-in-your-mouth streusel topping) is the incredibly easy pat-in-the-pan pie crust. Don’t fuss with rolling out the pie crust; simply mix the dough and press it into the pan.
