Seven Million American Children disappeared...

Thu, 15 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0700

1987: Seven million American children suddenly disappeared, the worst kidnapping wave in history? Hardly. IT was the night of April 15Th, and the IRS had changed a rule. Instead of merely listing the name of each dependent child, tax filers were now required to provide a Social Security number. Suddenly, seven million children, children who existed only as a phantom exemptions of the previous year’s 1040 forms vanished. Representing about one in ten of all dependent children in the United States.

Anyone else sick of the cooking shows on TV who tell you how to make something but it takes about $40.00 worth of rare ingredients?

I’m single and on a budget of about $10.00-$20.00 a day for Dinner/Lunch. I decided I was sick of processed fast foods and wanted to start eating as natural as I could when it came to cooking meals…I figured if I made something worth sharing, I would post it up:) Oh and did I mention I’m going for quick and easy?

Sausage and Roasted Vegetables with Penne: Cooking time 30 Minutes.

What you need:

1 Bag of Penne or Spirali pasta - I went for whole wheat.

2-6 based on portions: Spicy Chicken or Regular Sausage

Olive Oil, Kosher Salt, Pepper.

1 onion, 1 cumber, 1 package of cherry or grape tomato’s, 1 Red Bell Pepper, half or whole pack of button or half mushrooms.

Grated pre made Parmesan Cheese

Bottle of White Wine

Garlic Bread(Optional)

(You can either make a small or up to 4 portion of this, I ended up feeding 3 single guys on this meal for 4 - we all walked away full.)

Lets get started:

Step 1: Chop up the sausage into thick pieces - add to a medium heated pan. I then cook them until brown on all sides, after that I added about a 3rd a cup of white wine to glaze the sausage and add flavor.

Bring another pan to boil for the pasta - add the pasta in and cook for 13-14 minutes.

Step 2: Heat your oven to 400. Chop up the onion, Cumber (long ways), Bell Pepper, and Mushrooms. When you cut, they can bit a bit chunkier in the pieces - and I looked up on Youtube directions on how to cut each one.

After I was done - I put them all into a bowl, added about 2 tablespoons of olive oil and used my hands to mix them up. After that I laid them out on the tray and added Salt and Pepper until seasoned…I like a lot of Pepper on my food, and less salt. After, place in the oven for 13 minutes, I used the timer on my iphone…I then added the tomato’s and cooked another 12-13 minutes.

Step 4: Once the Veggies are cooked, add them to the pan with the sausage and cook a bit more mixing everything together. Drain the pasta, add the pasta to a plate and load up with the veggie and sausage mixture…I add some parm cheese for flavor.

Guys - the meal was amazing, and very simple - not a lot of measuring ingredients.

ENJOY!
