New Recipes

Over the last couple of weeks, I've concocted a couple of quality recipes that I thought would be worth sharing. We'll use the term 'recipes' lightly. These are by no means Julia Child style recipes. They're simple ingredients with simple steps, but the flavors work well together.

Sweet Potato Hash with Maple Sausage and Onion
Ingredients:
-two large sweet potatoes
-one large yellow onion
-one pound ground maple sausage (any sausage would work, but the sweet salty combination is divine)

Instructions:
-Chop sweet potatoes into bit size pieces (admittedly, I HATE chopping sweet potatoes - they are so tough!) and boil in a big pot of salted water for approximately 5 minutes, or until a fork is able to pass through a piece
-While sweet potatoes are boiling, chop onion and saute in a tablespoon of olive oil until soft
-Once onion is soft, add boiled sweet potatoes into pan and saute together for about seven minutes, or until sweet potatoes are slightly brown and crisp
-While sweet potatoes and onion are browning, cook sausage in a separate pan until cooked through
-Combine all ingredients once cooked to one's liking and eat up! (feel free to drench it in ketchup like I did, too)



Pasta with Broccoli and Turkey Meatballs
Ingredients:
-1 box pasta (I used rotini, but really anything would work)
-about ten turkey meatballs (used the TJ's frozen ones - love them!!!)
-a head of broccoli
-locatelli or pecorino romano cheese (about a handful grated)

Instructions:
-cook turkey meatballs (in this case, baked them from frozen)
-steam broccoli and boil pasta
-grate cheese

Once everything is cooked on it's own, combine ingredients and drizzle with olive oil. Bon appetit!
