Zucchini Noodles with Sausage

Whip up a really quick dinner for one with this Zucchini Noodles & Sausage recipe on Shutterbean.com !

Dinners sometimes get a little interesting when Casey is working late. Cooper and I put together snack dinners, we eat leftovers, and sometimes I resort to cereal or popcorn for dinner.  When Casey’s home I cook heartier meals– more meat & carb related things.

But sometimes, I make Cooper and I separate things because maybe I want something vegetable heavy and maybe he doesn’t. On this particular night I had a zucchini in the fridge and a sausage to cook. This is what I made!  Sausage is browned, marinara is stirred in. We have instant meat sauce. A quick sauté for the zucchini and we marry the two to make this delicious Zucchini Noodles with Sausage bowl. Serves 1 or 2 if you feel like sharing.

You could get yourself a spiralizer or use a box grater for this! I chose box grater. It was closest to the kitchen.

This week on Ebay, I wrote the following guides:

 10 Different Ways to Eat Eggs! — that’s right. They’re not just for breakfast anymore.

What’s In My Camera Bag – it’s all that I use.

Coffee Talk– I go through all the machinery we have a home to make our cappuccinos. We’re deeply into coffee here. It’s obscene.

Roasted Tomato Bruschetta

Roasted Tomato Bruschetta // shutterbean

I had a bunch of tomatoes sitting on my counter…aging.  So, I roasted them in the oven at 400F for about 30 minutes with a little bit of olive oil, salt & pepper. They turn out sweet and delicious.  I’ve been trying to incorporate the roasted tomatoes into everything we’ve been eating this week and I made this Roasted Tomato Bruschetta as a snack. We have grilled bread (sourdough!) with a hearty portion of roasted tomatoes on top, followed by chopped fresh basil, salt & pepper, a few feta crumbles and a drizzle of olive oil for good measure. Happy snacking!

School.

It’s back.

I’ve loved the summer but I’m so ready to get back into my regular routine.

I think.

Salmon Potato Arugula Salad with a Dill Dressing is a simple/fancy salad to add to your rotation. Find the recipe at Shutterbean.com!

It’s been awhile since I’ve done meal prep, which means my fridge has been way out of whack. Which means…UGH.  But! SUMMER!  We’ve sure lived it, and our dinners mostly consisted of snacks, popcorn, tacos, take-out, with a few BBQ situations and the occasional dinner out. We suuuuuure didn’t skimp on calories this summer. Now, I have to somehow get back into the swing of things.

It’s hot out and that means that I don’t want something HOT to eat. Let’s make a salad. Let’s make a hearty salad that doesn’t make me want bread.  Can that be done?  Yes. With this salad of potatoes and salmon mixed with a garlicky, lemon, dill, anchovy dressing….tossed with peppery arugula so there’s no need for garlic bread.  Although I wouldn’t say no if you put it in front of me 🙂

2015-16 school year. Let’s make it hearty & healthy.
