Don't you love it when you have one of those nights where you are running a little late and throw dinner together and it comes out awesome? I needed to use up some potatoes - and broccoli, and I had 3 sausages - 2 chicken and 1 veggie, so I decided to make mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli (I ended up adding some cauliflower that we got at our farm tonight) and the sausages. At the last minute, I had a major craving for some gravy for the mashed potatoes. I thought we may get some more mushrooms from the farm - mushroom gravy - but alas, there were no mushrooms to be had. So I ended up throwing some things together and it turned out awesome! Love it when that happens! Warning - I did not take any pictures - we lapped up every bit of it!

Mr W was happy with his meat and potatoes, my daughter cleaned her plate, and I loved it too!
Have a great night!
