Roasted Sweet Potatoes

My best friend says he likes to just roast vegetables to eat.  I have been eating sweet potatoes in a few different ways lately.  I peel, cube, and roast the sweet potato with olive oil, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper.  This was a sweet potato with friend rice.  I recently made roasted sweet potato topped with leftover taco meat and made a taco bowl.  

Tortellini and meatball soup

  I bought packages of dried tortellini on sale and needed something to use them in.  I also buy packages of Costco meatballs and freeze them.  I got a jar of pasta sauce out, watered it down, added some seasonings like salt, pepper, Italian, then got it boiling.  I added the tortellini and some frozen peas and boiled the pasta until it was soft.  I baked my meatballs in the oven and then added them to the soup.  This is one of those soups that tasted better the second day.  

Goulash or American Chop Suey

This is one of those recipes to use up some pantry items!  Plenty of people will argue it's not real goulash and it's not supposed to be.  Some people call this American chop suey too.  Either way it's a hearty good meal during winter. Ingredients: 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey 1 small onion, diced 2 cloves of garlic, diced Half box of Macaroni noodles 14 ounce canned corn 14 ounce canned green beans 8 ounce canned tomato sauce 14 ounce diced tomatoes 1 cup chicken or beef broth 2 bay leaves 1 teaspoon salt and pepper 2 teaspoons paprika 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Directions: Heat oil in a large soup pot.  Add the onion and meat, cook through.  Add the garlic and stir until fragrant.  Add all seasonings.  Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and broth.  Bring to a boil.  Add in canned vegetables.   Reduce heat and add noodles until cooked through.  Follow the minutes on the packaging.  Ready to eat!   

Costco Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes

  The Costco meatloaf is large like all things Costco.  It costs $16 and you can get four servings out of it for sure, maybe more.  I felt like it needed a green veggie accompaniment.  When I reheated the mashed potatoes I added some milk and sour cream to the top to keep them moist.  When I reheated the meatloaf I added some extra bbq sauce or ketchup too.  This was perfect for week night meals.  

Pierogi

  INGREDIENTS: 1 package frozen cheese and onion potato pierogi. 1/2 spicy smoked kielbasa sausage Onion Sauerkraut Butter Steam pierogi in a covered pan with water and a little oil. Melt butter in a pan and saute onions and brown the sausage.  Add some krat at the end and just heat it through.  Stir steamed pierogi into the butter mixture and serve.  Some people like to serve with some sour cream on the side.  

Happy birthday to me

 My birthday was between Super Bowl Sunday and Valentine's Day which also happened to be Ash Wednesday this year.  I made myself a few devil's food cupcakes topped with cream cheese frosting to celebrate.
