Brrrr.... it's cold. Dinner's quick and getting hot in the oven. I must admit, feeding two less complicated than feeding four. We only have the two of our tastes to accommodate, which makes life simpler. Meals get to be lighter as well. There's been quite a few evenings when D. would finish off some leftovers, and I'd have steamed veggies with a bit of cream cheese. Yum. Can't do that when you're responsible for feeding kids. Then we need a proper main meal, with veggies and a starch.

So tonight, we're trying something new. We picked up some turkey Italian sausage, and browned that up with green peppers, onion, and celery in some olive oil. The green pepper was actually a mistake, as this is ultimately going to be stuffed into green peppers, but what the heck. Once that was cooked, we stirred in some crushed tomato and a small can of muchrooms (stems and pieces). Much to my surprise, the sausage seasoning was enough, so we didn't add any other spices. D. layered his stuffed pepper with rice and filling, and then topped it off with a slice of cheese. I layered mine with stuffing and cheese, and put it in a small casserole with more of the vegetable mixture around the base. Yummm...
