Skillet Lasagna
This Skillet Lasagna is an easier and faster way to make lasagna than the traditional way all in one skillet. Do not substitute no-boil lasagna noodles for the traditional, curly-edged lasagna noodles here. Use either whole milk or part-skim ricotta here, but do not use fat-free ricotta, which has a very dry texture and bland flavor.

Sausage with Cranberry, Sage and Orange Zest Pinwheels
One of my favorite things to do is to develop recipes. I am always trying to add more hors d'oeuvres to my repertoire. I wasn't sure how these Sausage with Cranberry, Sage and Orange Zest Pinwheels would turn out. The combination of cranberries, sage and orange zest really works well with the sausage. They got rave reviews and are perfect for holiday parties.

Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
This Chicken and Sausage Gumbo recipe is relatively quick to pull together compared to most traditional recipes. After preparing the roux, most of the time spent making gumbo is basically hands-free. You’ll just need to stir the pot occasionally to prevent sticking. You can serve it over rice for a complete meal and freeze the leftovers in gallon-size freezer bags. If there are any leftovers! Here is the recipe.

Lentil & Chicken Sausage Stew
I was rummaging through my pantry and realized I have an abundance of lentils. Lentils are a powerhouse of nutrition, very inexpensive and extremely versatile. Everyone should be eating more lentils! This Lentil & Chicken Sausage Stew is made in a slow cooker and perfect for the chilly autumn night. Serve it with a loaf of crusty bread and a crisp green salad.

One Pot Dirty Rice
Dirty rice is a traditional Cajun and Creole dish made from white rice which gets a "dirty" color from being cooked with small pieces of chicken liver or giblets, green bell pepper, celery, and onion, and spiced with cayenne and black pepper. This version skips the chicken livers, which I suppose makes it a Not-So-Dirty-Rice! This spicy One Pot Dirty Rice is a great weeknight meal served with cornbread.

It's all done in one skillet and ready in about 30 minutes.
