(2,016 posts)Not sure what to call it, but it's been a favorite since I was a kid. Made in a Lodge cast iron pan.
Italian sausage, onions, peppers, mushrooms, garlic, and stewed tomatoes. Fold in cubed boiled potatoes. If you let it simmer enough, the spuds let off their starch, and thicken the tomato sauce.
Oh yeah, garlic bread is a must!

(106,886 posts)Ever tried a bit of cinnamon in tomato sauce? Doesn't take much but, I like what it adds.

(2,016 posts)Interesting... I usually associate cinnamon and tomatoes with eastern fare.
Hmmm... might have to try it and see!
Oh yeah, I do like one pot/skillet meals, too. Saves on washing dishes as well!

Love my farmers market.

(14,733 posts)Potatos? I'm having a Dan Quayle moment all of a sudden, on the pluralization of potato.
I also picked the first two strawberries of the season. Small, but ripe.

Citrus Marinade
Marinate chicken at least 2 hours or overnight; shrimp or salmon, 15 minutes.
1/2 c fresh orange juice
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp olive oil
Whisk together all ingredients and 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper in dish. (Makes 3/4 cup.)
While the chicken was grilling, I reduced the remainder of the marinade.
