Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner

-
                                                     

This has become one of our favourite dinners this past winter and honestly I am excited to bring it back into the mix again soon. It is such a simple dish and the best part as it is all cooked in one pan/roaster. If you're anything like me you will want to have leftovers for lunches. This is why a cookie sheet does not work for me when making this meal. I pull out my big turkey roaster and fill it so that my husband and I can have lunches for a couple of days of the week. With getting back to work (I am a teacher remember) I will have to start thinking about lunches again and honestly that is one of my most dreaded tasks. This definitely helps as it lasts a couple of lunches and is nice and healthy!

I love that with this recipe you can chop almost everything a head of time and have dinner prepped the night before. I find that the chopping takes time and after school we tend to get busy before dinner. I can take the pre chopped veggies out of the fridge and quickly chop the other ingredients and have it in the oven in no time. I am all about quick dinners on week nights as we are all tired and hungry after school and generally want some time as a family to play and relax. This dinner can definitely give you that extra time. Not to mention all those extra lunches!!!





This meal is also nice as you're not stuck to the same veggies every time. You can definitely change it up depending on what is in season or what your family likes. Our boys seem to be loving brussel sprouts right now which is so nice because my husband and I also love them!

This is a nice fall/winter meal to help warm you up on those chilly nights. Unfortunately for us we have already started to have some chilly weather and I will now be thinking about all my fall favourite recipes. Watch for more to come!


Ingredients:

1 Pkg sausage (I like to use honey garlic for extra flavour)

1 bunch broccoli

2 - 3 Peppers

1 Onion

2 - 3 cups brussel sprouts halved 

2 Yams

4-6 Potatoes

6 - 8 cloves of garlic either minced or sliced 

olive oil (enough to coat everything so it doesn't stick to your pan)

Salt and pepper to taste

** You can use what ever veggies you want and mix it up depending on what you have in the fridge or what is available at the store that week **

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Chop Potatoes and onion and add to roaster and coat with olive oil.

3. Chop and add the rest of the veggies and garlic and coat with a little more olive oil and salt and pepper. 

4. Add cut sausage to the top of the sheet pan/roaster and bake for 30 minutes. Take out and give everything a stir and then bake for an additional 30 minutes.

Black bean Sweet Potato Quesadillas

Sorry for the lack of posting but with the end of the school year near and a kindergartener learning online at home we have been a little busy over here!  This was not a typical mean for us as it was meatless but we’ve been trying to mix up our meal plans with a meatless meal once a week. This was a delicious sweet potato and black bean quesadilla. Lots of flavours and so filling!  We have been trying to incorporate one meatless meal a week which has been fun and challenging. It has really forced me to think out of the box with different meal ideas and this one was just too good not to share. It is kid friendly which is very important in our house.  I also really liked this meal as I was able to bake the sweet potato a head of time and then have everything ready for when it was time to make dinner. It was really easy and a lot of fun to make them together.  Ingredients: 1 sweet potato 1 tbsp busters BBQ rub  I can black beans or kidney beans drained and rinsed  Shredded cheese  Diced r

Fresh Tomato Marinara/Pizza Sauce

-

 We LOVE pizza in this house and any way to add extra flavour to make it better I am all over that. We had an abundance of tomatoes come off our tomato plants this year and were needing to come up with more ways as to how to use them. I was able to make soup and pasta sauce and then thought that this pizza sauce would be another great option as we eat pizza pretty regularly. I also froze a lot of tomatoes as it was hard to keep up with them all turning red at the same time. Frozen tomatoes work well with this sauce as well as they are getting cooked down anyway.  This sauce is a runnier sauce as I'm not a fan of a super thick pizza sauce and love how it adds just a touch of flavour to the pizza. If you are wanting it to thicken more, add some tomato paste to help it thicken.  Ingredients: 16 cups chopped tomatoes (Garden fresh add a lot more flavour) 1 onion 1-2 full heads of Garlic (I LOVE garlic so I tend to add more) 2 TBSP Olive Oil  2 TBSP Italian seasoning 1 TBSP Basil  2 TBS

Banana Cinnamon Muffins

These muffins have been a hit in our house for a couple of years now. My one son (who we call the muffin man) asks for them all the time. I love this recipe too because it is so versatile. I have made them plain, added a cinnamon sugar topping, added chocolate chips and even raspberries or blueberries. My favourite is adding a blueberry raspberry mixture. My children obviously love the chocolate chips or cinnamon sugar topping.  I honestly love how easy and versatile this recipe is. It seems to taste delicious no matter what I add to it. I also love that it can be made in one bowl and I have less dishes to do in the end. BUT my absolute favourite part about this recipe is how easy it is to make with my boys. They both love to help out in the kitchen and this is a simple enough recipe for them to help out with.  INGREDIENTS: - 2/3 cup sugar - 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil - 2 large eggs - 2 bananas mashed - 1 tsp vanilla - 1 2/3 cups flour - 1 tsp baking soda - 1 tsp cinnamon - 1/2 ts
