Week's Eats
A lot of really tasty recipes coming at you this week! My husband even proclaimed that the White Bean and Chicken Meatball Soup was one of the best soups ever and put in a request for it to be added to the permanent easy weeknight meal rotation. I love it because it only has about 10 ingredients and is simple to throw together. Another one of my favorites made the list this week, the Sheet Pan Sausage, Sweet Potato, and Broccoli. It is not the most glamorous dish of food but it is EASY, tasty, and good for you.

Consider this a weeknight risotto. Normally risotto takes a lot of hands attention to stir and get the creamy consistency. There is a time and a place for that type of risotto but this recipe isn’t it. The staring is replaced by the oven cooking the risotto rice in stock and then finished with a little more stock to smooth it out. I also like to roast the squash alongside the risotto so there is minimal hands on cooking time.
