Yay, my first recipe of the week! Full disclaimer, I struggle in the kitchen. I have the ability to cook and bake. Being taught by my mother was a big part of growing up in the Lax household. It’s more of a matter of enjoyment. To be honest, cooking is usually the last thing I feel like doing. BUT! In an attempt to change my attitude about cooking I have promised myself that I will learn a new recipe of the week, every week of the year and document my experiences here! I am not going to pretend to be a professional cook and shower you with beautiful polished pictures of my food because let’s be real, it’s not going to be pretty. Regardless, I am going to show up and try my best!

One Pan Meal

Now, on to the first recipe of the year! A one pan roasted meal! I had to keep it simple to start out!

So, as some of you know I am allergic to chicken and turkey. Yeah that is very unheard of, I know. Lol. So it can be harder for me to find healthy meals that my husband will eat with me because he is a huge fan of chicken. Luckily this one was made with sausage!  It also called for potatoes which I was excited about because we had some red potatoes left over from when our friends were in town for New Year’s Eve!

The last ingredient needed was green peppers! I LOVE peppers! All colors and cooked anyway! Lots of excitment!! So I sprayed my pan and cut all the ingredients up and threw them in the oven!

Results

After setting the fire alarm off a few times, scaring the crap out of my dogs, I learned that next time I will not use the olive oil Pam spray. It cooks things way too fast and left my meal a little more charred than I wanted.

Overall, my husband gave it a big thumbs up and even had seconds! In my book, that is a success seeing as he is a very picky eater!  I decided to spare you and not include the pictures of this meal! It was a super easy recipe to find. One pan meals are all over Pinterest! Speaking of Pinterest, we should be friends there. Are you going to join me in trying a new recipe of the week this year?
