Skillet Turkey Spaghetti with Garlic Rolls

Happy Great Year, Guys! How excited are you about what 2016 will bring?!?! Even though there were many areas where God’s Grace was manifested and demonstrated in our lives, 2015 wasn’t the greatest year for me as we experienced disappointment and loss. However, I KNOW…God is still God and He is faithful to fulfill our greatest desires.  I rest and continue to trust in Him and I’m truly in great expectation of what He is doing in our lives this year unto His Glory. I choose to praise Him in advance of the manifestation. Hallelujah! What about you? God is able to move in our lives according to our faith and I am fully persuaded! Romans 4:21 (KJV).

Well, if you didn’t already notice from the post title and pics, I’m talking spaghetti today guys. 🙂 One of my faves! So in an effort to get on the slightly healthier bandwagon (at least for the next couple weeks, right? 🙂 ), I’m making this Skillet Turkey Spaghetti with Garlic Rolls in honor of National Spaghetti Day today. Don’t you just love these national food holidays?!?! I see them as a pass to indulge in whatever said food at least once that day. Everyone else is indulging in it right? Well at least they all do on Good Morning America! 🙂

This Skillet Turkey Spaghetti with Garlic Rolls is loaded with tons of flavor and may even be guiltless! Well, if you 86 the garlic rolls, the butter and the cheeses it would be but who’s doing that? Not me! They’re all totally worth it and make the meal well rounded in my opinion. 🙂 All things in moderation, right? 🙂 It’s so simple to make and it’s totally a great go-to easy week night meal. This is definitely a family favorite and I hope you try it sometime along with another one of my other easy week night meals, My Big Fat Greek One Pot Penne. Be sure to remember, according to your faith, be it unto you! Matthew 9:28-29 (KJV). Say Grace and enjoy!!
