We have reached the part of the school year where all the things my kid signed up for at the beginning of the year that seemed so doable are all happening, simultaneously.
Sigh.
Because I had a doctor's appointment, Kid 1 drove Kid 2 to practice while I made dinner. I am still not back in my real groove with cooking so I kept it simple and made a sausage sauce and tortellini for the kids and I made myself sausages and peppers with zucchini.
The best part of making sausage and peppers and (onions) is that it's absurdly simple. I slice the bell peppers and onions very thin. I put them in a hot pan with oil and start them BEFORE the sausages because I like the onions to get caramelized. Plop the sausages in and cook till they are done and brown on all sides. I like bangers for sausages or sweet Italian sausages if I can't get those. Any type of sausage you like though, beef, chicken, or even vegetarian sausages will work. Sometimes I only use peppers and onions, sometimes (like last night) I throw in some sliced zucchini as well at the end. then I deglazed the pan with some marsala wine and chicken broth. You can even use just water or water with a splash of apple cider vinegar in it.
This can be served over greens, rice or noodles if you wish, I skipped that part entirely and topped it with a sprinkle of feta cheese. It's my favorite.
Everyone ate, not at the same time, because rehearsals and meetings and such, but hey. Still counts as far as I am concerned.
