Happy Wednesday. People seemed to love the Sunday Suppers I dug up from the archives, so I’m back with 17 of my favorite ground chicken recipes. I love ground chicken as a base for quick dinners. Whether I’m using it in pasta sauce, soups, or stir-fries, it always cooks super fast and tastes really good. This newsletter is a compilation of my favorite ground chicken recipes all in one spot for ya.
I’m on PTO next week, so I’ll be gardening! This is me with my lilac bush that I inherited from the previous homeowner. I do nothing for this poor bush, but every year, she surprises me with beautiful flowers.
Last year, I went a little too hard and planted tomatoes and zucchini and herbs and peppers. The zucchini and tomatoes took over everything, and all the vegetables rotted because I wasn’t very good at caring for them. This year, I plan to keep it simple. I think I’ll do basil, Thai basil, a Korean chili pepper plant, and maybe cilantro or parsley. I use basil the most, so I want to make sure I have lots of room for it.
Ok, on to the recipes now.
