Sheet pan turkey sausage with veg and mustard sauce. 6/11/21
After a delicious dinner out it is time to get back to eating correctly. Friday’s dinner was heavy on the vegetables and light on the turkey sausage. I started the vegetables in a pre-heated 425F oven 15 minutes before adding … Continue reading
Penne with mushrooms and kale. 6/10/21
