SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS

Marcia’s pro tips:
“I like to use grass-fed sausages for this and if the sausages are Whole30 compliant, this is a great dinner for September Whole30 people. Pederson Farms and Teton Waters Ranch make great smoked sausage with clean ingredients. Served with sauerkraut (I like Bubbie’s brand as well as a brand sold at the farmer’s market I can bring) and grainy German mustard,”
SPATCHCOCKED CHICKEN WITH RAINBOW CARROTS AND SHALLOTS

Marcia’s pro tips:
“If you don’t want to spatchcock the chicken yourself, the butcher will do it for you. Throw your families favorite veggies on the pan: Add haricot vert, quartered green beans or even red grapes for sweetness. The chicken lays flat so it cooks in 30 minutes,”
SHEET PAN FISH

Marcia’s pro tips:
“Use parchment paper to line the sheet pan for even easier clean up. You can use almost any fish: Arctic Char, Salmon, Halibut, Cod or Sea Bass. It will cook in about 15 minutes, no chopping or prep is necessary,”
