Penne Pasta with veggies
(this one I'm sort of making up so bare with me)

cook 1 1/2 cups of penne pasta (about 3 Cups cooked)
sliced red bell pepper
1 can drained diced tomatoes
asparagus cut into 1" pieces
Italian seasoning

saute veggies in some olive oil until tender. add drained pasta and Italian seasoning and toss until well mixed. serve.

Cabbage Rolls
(I'm excited to try these, I got the recipe from my friend Krystal's blog)

1 head cabbage
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 lb ground sausage, cooked and drained
1 cup cooked rice
8 oz can tomato sauce
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp worcetershire sauce

immerse cabbage in boiling water for 10 mins until limp, drain and separate leaves. combine egg, milk, salt, pepper, meat, and rice. place about 1/4 cup meat mixture in center of each leaf. fold in sides and roll ends over meat place in 9x13 pan. combine tomato sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice and worcestershire sauce pour over cabbage cook at 350 F for 20-25 mins
* you may also put this in the crock pot and cook on low for 7-9 hrs

Sloppy Joes are pretty self explanatory if you want to know how read the back of the sloppy joe sauce can. For all other recipes check out my Family's recipe blog. the link is on the side bar or click here.
