Italian Spaghetti Sauce with Meatballs
This was pretty good but the sauce itself is very plain. I added 3/4 tsp of italian seasoning, used 1 TB and 1 tsp fresh basil in place of the dried and added 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes. I was afraid that the meatballs would be dry so I added 1/2 cup of milk to the bread crumbs and let them soak for a minute. They were quite moist this way. This is a great base recipe that you can play around with.

Insanely Amazing Jalapeno Cheese Dip
Really, really, really good! I did use half mayo and half sour cream and I used the light variety of each. I baked it in a dish instead of a bread bowl but would love to try the bread bowl next time. Delicious!!

Turkey Breast with Gravy
Crazy good! I thought my husband was going to lick his plate to finish off the last drops of gravy. He asked me to roast a turkey breast last night and all of the turkey breasts at the store were frozen solid. So, I used a 5 lb whole fryer chicken. I cut the rub in half due to the small chicken. I rubbed the chicken with a little bit of olive oil prior to adding the rub and I did put a slit over each side of the breast and put a pat of butter inside. I used a can of chicken broth instead of water and bouillon although I don't think that makes any big difference. Finally, I thickened the gravy with 2 TB of flour whisked into a cup of milk. Don't mess with the herbs/spices - they are perfect!! I can't wait to try this with turkey and I can tell you that this will be on my table come Thanksgiving!!
