Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner

                                                     

This has become one of our favourite dinners this past winter and honestly I am excited to bring it back into the mix again soon. It is such a simple dish and the best part as it is all cooked in one pan/roaster. If you're anything like me you will want to have leftovers for lunches. This is why a cookie sheet does not work for me when making this meal. I pull out my big turkey roaster and fill it so that my husband and I can have lunches for a couple of days of the week. With getting back to work (I am a teacher remember) I will have to start thinking about lunches again and honestly that is one of my most dreaded tasks. This definitely helps as it lasts a couple of lunches and is nice and healthy!

I love that with this recipe you can chop almost everything a head of time and have dinner prepped the night before. I find that the chopping takes time and after school we tend to get busy before dinner. I can take the pre chopped veggies out of the fridge and quickly chop the other ingredients and have it in the oven in no time. I am all about quick dinners on week nights as we are all tired and hungry after school and generally want some time as a family to play and relax. This dinner can definitely give you that extra time. Not to mention all those extra lunches!!!

This meal is also nice as you're not stuck to the same veggies every time. You can definitely change it up depending on what is in season or what your family likes. Our boys seem to be loving brussel sprouts right now which is so nice because my husband and I also love them!

This is a nice fall/winter meal to help warm you up on those chilly nights. Unfortunately for us we have already started to have some chilly weather and I will now be thinking about all my fall favourite recipes. Watch for more to come!

1 Onion

2 - 3 cups brussel sprouts halved 

2 Yams

4-6 Potatoes

6 - 8 cloves of garlic either minced or sliced
