Easiest Turkey Meatballs 3 Ways

Let me preface this post by saying these are turkey meatballs. Yes, yes, I know, sacrilege. I can practically hear my grandmother rolling in her grave.

Deconstructed Egg Salad Sandwich: A Quick and Simple Farmer’s Market Lunch

After a quick trip to the farmer’s market I was wanting a simple lunch highlighting some of the fresh goodies we had just brought home.
