Sausage Peppers and Onion Tortellini Skillet

Heavenly one-pot tortellini dinner! Tortellini made with sweet Italian sausage, bell peppers, onion and tomato cream sauce.

TORTELLINI SKILLET

So I had a very interesting conversation with my husband the other day. I noted myself getting upset at him for eating cereal at lunch time. Before you get all judgy, let me explain…we have a ton of food! And I don’t mean we have a few things in the fridge, I mean, we have a TON of leftovers pretty much all the time.

I always make several things in a week to keep up with posting recipes here and some that are ideas in my head that I am testing. So there are plenty of nice choices for lunch available that are not cereal.

I was actually offended that my husband decided to eat cereal for lunch when we had meatballs, sausage and peppers, gnocchi and an apple cake! How, how in the world does one just forget about all that delicious food and just gets cereal? One of these days, I really am going to carry out my threats and start feeding the neighbors, even through he always runs to the fridge to shield it when I make this threat.

It’s cute and all but a chef likes to see their food being eaten to the last drop and not passed for cereal. So a lesson to all of you who has a loving cook living with you and cooking for you is, “EAT all the food to the last drop and don’t forget to make the yummy noises!” (Or we might cry.)
