I present - Natalie's Italian Bangers and Mash. Or Natalie's....
I don't speak Italian, so this may be really wrong :)
So easy. Prepare gnocchi - a potato pasta. (I got mine at Target!) While they are boiling (just takes a couple minutes) brown pork or turkey breakfast sausage and drain. Then add chopped onions and green peppers and cook until tender. Toss with the gnocchi, sprinkle with parmesan and "Buon appetito!" Or in the English tradition....Tuck in!
Collin got a nice cheeseless version. Lydia opted for marinara. Yes, that is a hideous cinderella bib Collin is wearing. I limit his hand-me-downs to that though. And the occasional jammies.
Speaking of dinner, my friend Melanie from The Sisters Cafe, wrote a wonderful post about how to make family dinnertime meaningful and less stressful. I would highly recommend reading it.
Makes me wish that Shane could get home by dinnertime, but we will just be happy with the weekends for now.

Natalie,
I was so surprised to see my name in your post:) I have arrived--made it on Natalie's Sentiments!! yay1 Thanks for the link! And don't worry most nights Brad is not home for dinner either. Kinda sad--but we all gather around again to chatter at him while he eats his reaheated dinner! And your mid-winter meals looks yummy!!
I'm completely obsessed with Ina too & London is my favorite city.Not sure how I missed that special. That dish looks delicious and super easy. I'll have to try it.
I might have to try this. It looks so simple and I think even my pickiest eater would eat it. Thanks for the idea!
