Sheet Pan Cajun Smoked Sausage & Vegetables
I love sheet pan dinners for their easy preparation and even easier clean-up.
This smoked sausage and vegetable combination is very easy, and very adaptable. Use your preferred linked-style smoked sausage like kielbasa, andouille, or chorizo links (not loose raw chorizo). A combination of vegetables of various colors makes for a delicious and healthy dinner. I like using sweet potatoes and/or butternut squash, red peppers, zucchini, and onion.
Start cooking the longer-cooking vegetables first, then add the quicker cooking vegetables closer to the end of cooking time.
I season this with a premixed Cajun seasoning, but you can also use a combination of salt, pepper, onion and garlic powders, thyme, oregano, smoked paprika.

Indian Chicken Fried Rice
An Indian rice dish that is completely adaptable to any protein and vegetable combination you have on hand. Made here with chicken, zucchini, snap peas, red pepper, carrots, and onion.
This is similar in flavor to a biryani, but a simpler preparation, and packed with more vegetables.
For a low carb version, use cauliflower rice instead of basmati rice.
