Food & Memories

Sausage, Potatoes & Green Beans

Growing up we had family friends who's mom would make a recipe similar to this. I think I have it mastered!! Smells can often bring back memories for me. This dish takes me back to fun carefree days playing until the sun went down! I have great memories of eating this dish and today it still makes me smile!! :)

Here is a recipe from All Recipes below is a modification that I use when making this dish:

I wanted to cook indoors, so I preheated the oven to 425. In the meantime, I seared the sausage with some Worcestershire sauce just to seal in the flavor, then added this to a nonstick-sprayed roasting pan and mixed in the potatoes & drizzled with olive oil, Kosher salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder: I often toss in other spices or even a little Mrs. Dash. In the same skillet with the sausage juices, I sauteed the green beans with 4 cloves minced garlic and a bit of olive oil to soften. I then added this to this mixture to the roasting pan and tossed all the ingredients together to coat. Finally, I covered the pan with aluminum foil and baked for 40 minutes, removing the foil for the last 15 minutes, and stirring occasionally.

First try with cereal...


Well, Parker loved eating his cereal for the first time...



But his belly didn't like it! He woke up around 11pm and was super unhappy. He had bad gas & was fussy all night. Needless to say no more cereal for a while. Mom & Dad were excited to try something new. Next time we try something new it will be over a weekend when we don't have to get up so early for work. Lesson learned!
