Sausage and Tortellini

KID APPROVED!!! Simple Sausage and Tortellini Recipe
Sometimes I throw things together and it's a total fail (let's not talk about the cabbage ground beef casserole failure from several years ago, k?) 

But this is one that THE KIDS ACTUALLY ATE. Including my picky one!! 

There's a similar recipe on Pinterest that calls for cream cheese and is made in the crock pot. I'm hesitant to make things with cream cheese that aren't going to stay heated because it gets clumpy and weird. 

First, start your pot of water boiling. I don't know WHY but that's taken forever around here so I start it early. 

Next brown up one pound of Italian Sausage (we used Hot) in a pan until no pink remains.

When that's done, add a can of tomato sauce and a can of tomato paste and stir around.

Now, I won't tell you how to season your sauce because everyone is different. I threw in some Italian Seasoning, garlic powder, and salt....but I do it to taste and I swear it never turns out exactly the same each time. 

To finish off the sauce, throw in 1/2 cup of heavy cream. 

I didn't say it was a healthy recipe, okay?

​It should look something like this

Turn this to a simmer (really really low) and cook your cheese tortellini.

Drain and all that jazz and then mix the two together. 

Bam. Dinner. 

​This is SO fast and so easy.

If you make this please let me know how it turned out!

Dairy Free Cereal Bars

Yep. Totally made these up on the fly. I had to SEARCH for marshmallows without food coloring (seriously, why do they need blue dye?) and found them at Walmart of all places. 

1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup peanut butter
4.5 cups marshmallows
4 cups Cheerios

Melt first 2, melt in marshmallows, stir in cereal...mix well and press into pan. Let cool. Cut. Eat.

The ONLY issue is the coconut oil doesn't integrate like butter...so they're a little oily to the touch. But still yummy. You can also taste the coconut oil but we're used to it!

Dairy Free "Stroganoff"

I'm calling it Stroganoff HOWEVER I've never had properly prepared stroganoff. Cafeteria food doesn't count. 
Picture
I didn't set out to make stroganoff specifically...but with the egg noodles that's how it turned out *shrug* Whatever. 
Picture
I super suck at measuring. So know that going in...

Put your noodles on to cook.

I grabbed thin cut steaks and sliced it up. I did a basic seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic. Cook it in an oiled pan with some diced onion until it's as cooked as you like. 

Pull the steak out and keep the pan low-med hot. 

This is where the fake measuring comes in...

I floured the pan drippings until it was all mixed well. Grab a whisk and add some almond milk and whisk well. I also added some Braggs Liquid Aminos. Keep playing with the seasonings (garlic, pepper, onion) until it's to your liking. Once you have a good gravy consistency (play with the liquid and flours) add the steak back in. Stir until coated and add in pasta by the handful until there's no visible "gravy" in the pan. (Until it's all stuck to the pasta)


DONE! Easy, super yummy, and it reheats pretty well.
