4 Kitchen Gadgets used in these recipes!
- My right hand in the kitchen for Tamale Pie is the meat chopper, which breaks up ground meat quickly and evenly.
- This soup pot is my go-to for Chicken Noodle Soup, with plenty of room to simmer broth and noodles perfectly.
- I always reach for this wooden rolling pin, it makes rolling out our Protein Pizza dough so easy and even.
- This olive oil sprayer and pourer makes it easy to drizzle just the right amount over your Cold Noodle Salad.

The Baked Creamy Turkey Penne (using leftover turkey) is not hyperlinked. Is there another way to access this recipe? I tried using the Search function but it only brought me back to this page.
I started using this site about a month ago and so far just about every recipe has been amazing! Thank you!
Thanks for point this out. IT’s a recipe that i’ve removed from the site. I’ll fix the meal plan shortly. Email me directly if you’d like a copy of the recipe! lauren@tastesbetterfromscratch.com
