This vegetable skillet contains al fresco Chicken Sausage, a blend of fresh vegetables, and shrimp. It is so quick to put together and can be prepped ahead of time. It reheats well, and makes for delicious leftovers–if there are any!
Soon, the kids will already be back to school. I cannot believe that August is right around the corner! It feels like they just got out of school but the reality is that in 3 weeks classes will once again resume!
With our busy schedules, meals that are fresh, easy, and wholesome are super important. I am sure most of you can relate that while takeout is fun sometimes, it gets old quick!
When the kids are in school, I make it a habit to always prep my dinners as much as possible ahead of time. I will prewash and chop my meats and veggies to ensure they are ready for dinner.
After 3 pm, my house gets so nuts that I hardly have time to think between homework, and conversations with my 3 kids–nevermind after school activities!

Making this skillet meal is really easy! I love to prep my veggies in the morning and I compost the scraps. I also make my spice blend ahead of time so everything truly is easy, peasy to cook.
al fresco Chicken Sausage is such a wonderful protein to use because it is already full cooked. I love how it is so easy to stir fry with the veggies. It is fully seasoned so it doesn’t really need any additional spices. I did add plenty of spice to the veggies though for flavor and nutrition.
