Oh Aisy Girl,

Chicken and sausage one pot wonders

Another quick, easy and very yummy one pot wonder to share. This is a little spicy, but you can tone it down by choosing mild sausage.





1 yellow onion diced
2 chicken breast cut into cubes
Hot johnsonville sausage (about 3 links)
Minced garlic
Salt and pepper
Cajun seasoning
Block of frozen chopped spinach(cooked according to directions)
Bag of brown rice (cooked according to directions)
Mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese


Cook onions in a skillet with a little bit of oil. Add the chicken(seasoned with salt pepper and Cajun seasoning) and sausage and Cook until brown. Once browned added a bit of garlic and stir. By now there should be some good flavor/juice in the skillet. Add your cooked rice and spinach. Salt and pepper like crazy! You can add in some chicken broth if it isn't very moist. Let the flavors meld together and then add a handful of mozzarella and parm cheese.

Dinner is served!
I got the "it was awesome" from James and there were no leftovers. So I assume it was good.

We eat...
Meatloaf

Meatloaf is the bomb. It is also my speciality. I pretty much always wing it and use different ingredients. Basically whatever I have. That's why meatloaf is awesome. You can use up whatever ingredients you have.

Meatloaf never looks very pretty, but I promise it tastes amazing.
Awful phone pictures do it no justice either.




Today my ingredients goes as follows.

1 pound 90% ground beef
2 eggs
1/3 loaf of French bread
1 yellow onion
Leftover salad mix with carrots and all
Leftover bell peppers
Tomato
Worcester sauce
A1 sauce
Ketchup
Bbq sauce
Salt
Pepper
Montreal steak seasoning
Chunks of cheddar cheese

I put all the veggies, onion and tomato in a blender and made a paste with it.
Put everything in a bowl (totally just eyeballed the sauces and spices) and mix well.

Put in a pan and cover with sauce(which ever one) and bake at 425 for about an hour.
Serve with mash potatoes and broccoli.

We eat...
Spicy Fried Pork Chops.


Another easy meal down! I had these in the freezer and thawed them out over night. Including all the sides, I was able to finish this whole meal while Aislynn ate (played with) her dinner.




4 boneless pork chops
2 cups Flour
Salt and pepper
Canola oil
2 tablespoons Spicy Montreal seasoning
Buttermilk

In a dish mix together flour, salt, pepper and spicy Montreal seasoning. Dip pork chops in butter milk then into the flour mixture. In a skillet heat up the oil. Once hot, cook pork chops until no longer pink in the center.



We served this with buffalo cauliflower. It's a new flavorful creation by Birdseye and I am hooked. Not too spicy.



Homemade mashed potatoes. Corn on the cob. Mac and cheese. And gravy (which may have turned out way too thick).

Also... I have stolen my sweet friends garlic bread recipe and I'm hooked.
Take any bread and slather on some melted butter, garlic and salt. Top with cheese and Italian seasoning. In the oven at 350 until cheese is bubbly. Boom. Perfection.


Aisy may have been a complete mess after the fact, so I hosed her off on the porch. 😂✌🏻️



Best,

Abagail

I am by no means a great cook. I may be slightly above average for a stay at home mom. Pretty much everything I have learned has been from my daddy or from James or his mom. My daddy is the bomb at winging it with "one-pot-wonders". This type of cooking requires the mixture of all random things into an amazingly yummy dinner. Trust me, it is genius. However, if you are one of those people who cannot stand their food to be touching (totally don't get that by the way), this may not be a hit for you.

It is easy, super quick and really cheap in the grand scheme of things! I totally made this while Aislynn snacked on blueberries and cucumbers (okay she may have thrown most of them... whatever works).

Sausage Goulash (as my daddy would call it)

1 yellow onion, diced
1 red or yellow bell pepper, diced
1 tomato, diced
1-2 boil in bag pack of brown rice
1 McCormick Montreal seasoning sausage
Salt
Pepper
Canola oil
Minced garlic (spoonful)
1/2 cup of light half and half
Shredded mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese



In a skillet heat up the canola oil. Once hot, add the onion and bell pepper. Let cook while you slice the sausage into slices. Add the sausage and salt and pepper. Cook until the meat has some brown/crispy edges.

Meanwhile make the rice according to the directions.

Lower heat and then add garlic to the meat mixture. Add tomato and half and half. Stir until combined. Let simmer and add the cooked rice. Once all is incorporated add your cheese. We like mozzarella and parmesan, but any cheese would be good.

Serve with broccoli on the side of you like!
