Smoked Sausage & Potato Bake

This is one of my favorite meals to make for our family and for friends that have just had babies, etc. It's easy and inexpensive to throw together, kids will eat it no problem (smoked sausage resembles hotdogs for those with super picky eaters), it's packed with veggies and protein, and, this might be the best part, it only takes one dish to make.


Ingredients |
5-6 red potatoes
2 sweet potatoes
1 package smoked sausage (I usually buy Hillshire)
1/2 bag of frozen broccoli florets
1 green pepper
2-3 handfuls of Brussel sprouts
EVOO
Rubbed Sage
Salt & Pepper
Garlic Powder

First prep your veggies: cube potatoes, chop peppers, half Brussel sprouts, and slice smoked sausage. The great thing about this dish is you can use any vegetables that you have or like - zucchinis, onions, butternut squash, asparagus, anything really. The above ingredients are just what I used most recently (though, I'll admit I'm the only one in my family that likes Brussel sprouts. Sad face.)

Once everything is chopped and prepped, lay on a baking sheet, drizzle with EVOO and sprinkle with rubbed sage, garlic powder, sea salt, and pepper. You can also change out the herbs for this - oregano and basil are two of my other favorites. With your hands mix everything together to make sure everything is coated with EVOO and herbs.

In a 400 degree oven, bake for 45-50 minutes are until the potatoes are cooked through and everything has a good crunch. I like to eat mine with BBQ sauce because I'm addicted to sauce.

Enjoy!

Am I pregnant or stupid?

I've read stories about people getting the "pregnant stupids" and while I think they're hysterical, I think I've got them...bad. All the time. Every day. My guess is that because I lucked out with morning sickness (or lack of), God decided to turn me into an idiot. Case in point. Thursday afternoon, I drove all the way home from work (about 20 minutes) only to realize I forgot my work keys, which I needed to open the office the next morning. So I had to rush back to work before my co-worker left at 5 p.m. to grab them. She looked at me like I was crazy. I told her I was. Then when I got home, Darren and I were going to meet my aunt and uncle and cousins downtown for dinner. So we rushed off to dinner and as soon as we hit the busy grid of downtown, I realized, I FORGOT MY PHONE. This would be OK any other day except for the fact that 1) I was the only one that had any of their phone numbers and 2) We didn't even designate a spot to meet - we were just going to...

There Is Enough Time

When I became a new mom of two, my mom gifted me a book she read when she became a mom called 'There is Enough Time.' It was really old, an "original." It was written in the fifties is what I'm saying. I read most of it and nodded my head in a agreement a few times but mostly, it felt so irrelevant. Raising kids in the 50's was very different than it is now. But here's what I've noticed since I've been holed up with my kids for the last two weeks (yep, tonight is my 14 day mark), there is enough time. It's been forced upon us, yes. Something we Americans don't like - how dare the government tell us what to do? (gasp!) - it's like we got grounded because the neighborhood bully got us in trouble. But when all the "fun stuff" got canceled - the sports, the plays, the parties, the people - we were forced to reevaluate our days. It turns out, when you have nowhere to go there is enough time. Enough time to dance, to go on fam...
