2 peeled, diced/sliced carrots
1/2 of a diced green pepper
2 Tbs. minced garlic

This simmers on the stove-top for 5 hours so it thickens and browns as it cooks.  It’s a great meal for when you are either raking leaves, decorating your Christmas tree or you just don’t want to stand over a stove.  Serve with white rice and garlic rolls.
2 Tbs. olive oil (extra virgin is best)
4 boneless, [...]

1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. Italian seasoning

1 lb. smoked sausage
3 Tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 [...]

The ingredient list may seem long, but it’s stuff you probably already have in your Kitchen, except maybe the V-8 juice and meaty ham bone. Kids also like it. Remember, you can prepare the pasta separately, add to the bowls then add [...]
