Quite often, cooking can be seen as a chore. First you have to shop, then there is the matter of prepping everything before you even begin cooking. But what if I told you that you can cut out the prep and serve up a tasty meal with ease?

  • Sweet Italian Sausage
  • Mild Toscano Italian Sausage

I have dozens of different recipes and really just pick and choose based on my mood. On a busy night, I’ll simply bake the sausage with peppers and onions and serve on a bun. That is probably how my boys love it best. But my favorite way to enjoy the sausage is roasted with fennel, potatoes and tomatoes. That combination of flavors is just beyond amazing. And the best part is that you just toss everything on a sheet pan and set a timer. Dinner is ready in about 30 minutes with almost no effort at all. Talk about an easy weeknight meal!

Grab a few ingredients and skip the “chore” of cooking with a meal that’s easy and delicious!
