Sausage and Peppers Pasta is a weeknight wonder!

What are the go to weeknight meals in your home?

For my family, it’s all about those all-in-one recipes, where your carbs, protein and veggies all come from the same recipe, no side dishes needed.

This Italian Sausage Pasta Recipe is a classic example. Ground sausage comes together with lots of onions and bell peppers in a simple tomato sauce, then you toss everything with pasta and dinner is served.

Am I the only one that considers ordering pizza to be the weirdest, most awkward social experiment? By nature, it’s designed to be shared with a group. But that also means that you and your friends all have to agree on toppings.

I don’t know about your group of friends, but mine have pretty varied tastes. One person wants mushrooms, somebody else stand them (too bad, because they’ll miss out on chicken stroganoff!).

Somebody else wants olives, but another person would rather have anything but olives. Oh, and then somebody wants a chicken pizza and the pepperoni lovers give them the side eye.

This usually results in ordering ALL of the pizzas and having leftovers for days (and spending way too much money).

With game day coming up, I came up with a fun option where everybody can get their way. It’s not quite the same as a regular pizza, but this crostini pizza bar is a fun appetizer to pair with other game day food like healthy buffalo chicken dip and my football themed charcuterie board.

By the time you load your plate up with snacks, you pretty much have a meal, right?

I’m so completely smitten with my new house in a million ways. There’s just one thing I can’t stand. Somewhere along the way in the last 90 years, somebody painted 75% of the trim in this house a tan/beige/gross color.

I not-so-lovingly refer to it as the color of skin. A friend noted it’s like that flesh-colored crayon in the box that nobody wants to use.

I’m a fan of white-and-only-white-all-the-time-always-white trim, so this needs to change ASAP.
