Even on busy days it is possible to serve a real meal to your family.  It is so important to cook healthy meals for your family instead of bringing home fast food several times a week.  Here are three recipes to help you out; Lemony Lamb Chops for the entree, Quick and Easy Waldorf Salad, and Quick and Easy Dinner Rolls.  These recipes are also diabetic friendly
QUICK AND EASY DINNER ROLLS AND THEY ARE DIABETIC FRIENDLY, TOO

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a mixing bowl combine the flour, mayonnaise, and buttermilk. Stir ingredients together just until moistened.

LEMONY LAMB CHOPS
2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
2 1/2 tsp ground cumin
4 shoulder lamb chops, 3/4-inch thick
