One Skillet Sausage and Rice + Weekly Menu

one-skillet-sausage-and-rice-1

You know how many times I make a recipe more than once? Not all that much.

Twice? Sometimes.

Three times? Only our faves.

4+ times? Pretty much unheard of in my kitchen.

Why? So many recipes to try, so little time! And, of course, I’m always looking to keep things alive and well on this here little blog. (Seriously!)

This recipe has been made FIVE times. Yes, because we love it. Yes, because I’ve failed to photograph it the first 4 times I made it. Oooops. That’s just the way dinner time goes in this house. And unlike a lot of food bloggers, I actually photograph what I post on the blog minutes before digging in. So sometimes, the whole cook, photograph, eat gig gets a bit chaotic (or just doesn’t happen…), especially now that we’ve got two littles, one of which is generally HANGRY come dinner time.

On the note of that little 2-year-old of mine…she LOOOVES this dish. No lie, she loves this meal so much she nearly CHOKED from eating so fast. She looooves it. For that reason alone, I knew I was wise to double-up on the green bell pepper that the original recipe called for.

Skillet meals are glorious in that they’ve got a balanced meal that comes together all in one skillet, but sometimes they’re a little light on the vegetable and heavier on meat and carb. I rectified that a bit and low and behold, it was still adored by my 2-year-old.

On the 5th attempt, I finally photographed this recipe…all for you. And sure, it may not be a looker of a recipe, but I do promise you will love it…and love how easy it is to make! Its fifth appearance in my kitchen will not be its last!

    I had to laugh because other than my lasagna soup which I am literally obsessed with, I hardly make the same meal either and if I do, it doesn’t always turn out the same way the second time around 😀

    Loved the hockey picture you posted of Shea giving you hugs – so cute!
