Have I mentioned that I have lost my cooking mojo? Couple that with being sick and tired of the same ‘ol, same ‘ol and it means that we have been eating takeout much more often than is good for our waistlines or our wallet. Today I managed to force myself to pull some Sweet Italian Sausage out of the freezer to thaw even though I had no idea what I would make with it.
I remembered that I had a beet in the cupboard that I should use (then found out that it had gone all yucky and soft). I also had sweet potatoes, onions and carrots. The lovely Fall weather put me in the mood for roasted veggies and Italian Sausage goes with anything.
Next thing I knew the house was smelling amazing and dinner was served. I can’t wait to make it again!
