Super Quick and Yummy Dinner



I'm often surprised that the amount of time and effort it takes to prepare a meal does not always equal how much my family enjoys it. For example, tonight's dinner took me about 15 minutes to make, but the girls loved it so much, they ate every last bit--and I expected to have leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

So if you need a quick and easy hit, try this Sausage, Onion, Apple Fry-Up.

Heat a large skillet (I love cast iron for this) over medium heat. Add enough oil to coat the pan. Cut 4 Italian-style veggie sausages (made nonGMO soy) into diagonal 1/2-inch slices and add to pan. Peel an onion and slice in half-moons. Add to pan. Core and dice 2 apples. Add to pan. Toss everything together. Cover and cook about 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes to brown sausage and onions. I served this over steamed potatoes and squash, but I think it would also be great over mashed potatoes or with rice.

This sounds great, and simple, and perfect for these colder (by coastal standards) evenings. We may just put this together later this week.

Reminds me of a simple dinner I like to make: garden tomatoes chunked up, fresh basil bunch chopped up, all tossed into pot to simmer while the noodles of your choice boil. Mix and serve. Super simple, super yummy.

Yeah--that's exactly what I'm talking about. Simple can be so delicious!
