I often forget exactly what we have in our pantry...but I know that our pantry is usually stocked well enough that if I just grab a protein from the store, that I should be able to create a meal around it.  A well stocked pantry goes a long way.  For example, tonight all I picked up from the store was 3 chicken sausages.
With a little searching through the fridge I was able to find some suitable roasting partners for my sausages.  A head of fennel, a red onion, and an apple later...it was ready to go into the oven.
To accompany my roasted sausages I just cooked some canned white beans with basic flavorings (onion and garlic) and added some fresh spinach along with a little more flavor (salt, olive oil, some dried herbs)...and there you have it.  Dinner.  Thursday night.  Done.  Tasty too.
If you would ever like any additional information on a meal you see in this space, please feel free to send me an email or leave a comment!  Thanks for checking out my new blog.  
Great post! I love the format, sort of spontaneous while still sounding well thought out.
