Nita's Note: I note that some of you are using game meat such as deer -- Deer is a very DRY meat. It is wise to HAVE some fat added to the deer -- especially to ground deer. Maybe 25 % fat, ( I recommend 1 lb of ground venison, and 1/2 lb of deer sausage for fat content), otherwise your results will be poor. I don't know about some of the other game meat some are using. Please consult an expert. The recipe is delicious as it stands! Enjoy! Nita Holleman.

SpaghettiPasta With Sun-Dried Tomatoes
A simple sauce tossed with your favorite pasta for a quick yet healthy dish. Sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms provide a nice meaty texture for those who choose not use meat. Personally, I add a pound of jumbo shrimp at the end and substitute clam juice or seafood broth for chicken broth. This meal is served with a caesar salad and Texas toast After the sauce has cooked to desired thickness, just toss the pasta and you are ready for a treat. My idea, my version. Takes less than an hour minutes to prepare.
MexicanBeef or Chicken Fajitas
This recipe came from our church cookbook. I like this recipe because I can use either chicken or beef. I have tried both and I like the chicken the best. You can leave out the crushed red pepper which is what I do if you don't like your food spicy.
