2. 6 large baking potatoes

3. 1/2 tsp of salt

4. dash of black pepper

5. 1/2 Tbs. of dried basil

6. 2-3 Tbs of olive oil

9. 3/4 cup of water

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

2. Slice the onion in thin strips

3. Cut the potatoes roughly into 1/4 inch pieces

4.  Layer onion and potatoes on the bottom of a greased baking dish

5. Cut peppers into rings (this time I cut them into slices because the kids prefer that) and place on top of potatoes

6. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and basil (above measurements are approximates.  I season to taste and sometimes add garlic powder and onion powder depending on my mood.  Season the way you like it)

7. Pour oil over veggies and mix, then add the 3/4 cup of water

8. Arrange sausages on top and piece each link with a fork

9. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour

10. Uncover and bake for another 20-30 minutes until sausages are browned and the potatoes are tender

Makes 6-8 servings 

I sometimes serve this with a side salad and rolls or fresh Italian bread.

Enjoy!!
 

Summer 2023

 We have been doing baseball, baseball, and more baseball.  It's been a lot.  But this is our last week. So far all things are going well.  The older boys are working at their internships, and the little boy is playing baseball, attending camps, and doing well.

I have not been online much because my information was hacked at the beginning of June, and it is taking me weeks to get everything back, and secure my information.  It's daunting.  Truly.  I pray I have a handle on this.  It's a terrible feeling knowing that someone is out there trying to take over your cyber life.  

This week coming up, we have the 4th of July, and our final baseball tournament.  

I have been trying EVERYTHING to get our grocery budget under control.  I'm not doing so well with that.  I can spend a lot less, but then there is so little food, that the boys are not happy.  I'll keep trying and report back if anything works.  So far, NO.

Happy 4th of July!!
