Oven Roasted Vegan Sausage and Potatoes

"Are you done yet? Are you done yet?" Hubby was like a toddler on a long road trip. Only it was not the boredom or the distance that drove him to impatience and me to insanity.  In his case, the culprit was the lip-smacking, finger-licking dinner I made and was photographing, so I could share it with you.

Better Than Chipotle’s Veggie Burrito Recipe

I remember when I was pregnant with Sprout, especially toward the end of pregnancy, I felt hungry all the time, curiously mostly at night.  I will never forget my night trips to the fridge.
