Around here supplies are still in short supply, so I've often had to get pretty creative in the kitchen. This dish which I call "everything but the kitchen sink" uses whatever I happen to have on hand. Bonus points if it needs to be used up before going bad or stale.
For this particular meal in the photo I used: 1/2 sweet potato, 1 vegan sausage, 1/4 bag of frozen veggies, 1/4 red onion, a few bell pepper strips and 2 mushrooms. I drizzled it with olive oil, sprinkled salt and pepper and a few sprigs of fresh basil that I grow on my windowsill. I microwaved the raw sweet potato first and then tossed everything together and baked at 375 for 30 minutes.
I've made this a couple more times with some differences. One time I replaced the sausage with half a can of white beans I had leftover from making tacos. Another time I replaced the store bought sweet potato with a couple carrots that were leftover from my winter garden. What have you all been creating during the quarantine? Any new recipes that surprised you?

A simple burrito
I've been making this simple burrito a bunch lately. Take a tortilla and mash some half a small cooked sweet potato onto it. Add a layer of cooked black beans. Top with avocado slices and a pinch of salt. It's really uncomplicated but pretty tasty and has a variety of nutrients in it. It's pretty filling as well.
