Sarah's Vegetable and Meat Casserole
6 Tbl. extra virgin olive oil
2 small onions, thinly sliced
1 pound zucchini, diced
2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 pounds ground sausage
2 Tbl tomato paste
1 1/2 cups white wine
2 fresh bay leaves
1 3/4 pounds russet potatoes (peeled and thinly sliced)
8 oz. mozzarella, shredded
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
2 Tbl unsalted butter
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Heat 3 Tbl olive oil in a skillet. Add onions and cook until lightly softened (about 3 min). Add the zucchini and 1 tsp salt. Cook until the zucchini is tender and remove from skillet.
Add 1 Tbl olive oil to the skillet. Fry the sausage until crumbled and brown. Drain the grease. Then add the tomato paste and let simmer for a minute. Add in the wine and the bay leaves, bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce is reduced (about 5 minutes). Remove the bay leaves. Stir the onions and zucchini back in.
Toss the potato slices with 2 Tbl of olive oil and 1 tsp salt. Mix the two cheeses together in a bowl.
To assemble: Butter a large baking dish (4 qt size). Layer the potatoes in the bottom, sprinkle a third of the cheese mixture on top. Next, add all of the sausage mix, and then top with the remaining cheese mixture.
Cover with foil (making sure the foil doesn't touch the cheese topping) and bake on a bottom rack until bubbly around the edges (about 20 minutes). Uncover and bake 15 more minutes, or until the top is browned and crusty.

I like to finish as much as stitching. I am thankful for the beauty of a butterfly on roses. As for the snake it is a part of the story, the fall it happened.
I live in the county outside a small town in a very rural part of Mississippi, and so I am very thankful for people like you, and others like Laura and Leslie of the Knit Girllls to keep me up to date on my crafting. In fact, when I first started watching the KGs they were on their way to a Loopy Ewe retreat before you moved away from Missouri.
I only started back cross stitching during the pandemic so am still just discovering wonderful things that have been around for quite a while. All the Flosstubers are new to me! With my last name, Rose, I'm loving all the samplers with roses as their theme. Butterflies too. Wouldn't that fabric with the subtle rose background be beautiful on something like Anna Thies or D Freitag 1849!
As for favorite Fall food, where I live, in the Fall, one of the men's organizations cooks a stew that it sells as a fund raising project. Brunswick Stew is like a combination corn chowder with tomatoes and lima beans added with chicken and pork, or for hunters, game like squirrel and rabbit. When I learned to cook it, I was told it's done when the spoon used for stirring stands upright. This stuff is delicious, and if you want to try it, versions of the recipe are online.
That sounds like a delicious and very hearty stew!
Sherri, as a returning crossstitcher who loved it in the 80s, I am THANKFUL for the new world of crossstitch and the Flosstubers who share their work with all of us. Carol in Texas
Nice to watch you, i love Roses.
Roses and butterfly fabric is beautiful.
I love to see a butterfly on roses
Butterfly and roses are some of my favorite things to stitch
Great video. Love all the information and insight.
I am so thankful for roses
Enjoyed my trip to Colorado Cross Stitcher today. However I am thankful to be home. The drive from Fort Collins to 34 was 35 minutes for about 10miles with the Blue Angels performing over the freeway the whole way. All of a sudden one of them came at us head on low enough that when he dipped his wings right in front of my car I could read Blue Angels on the underside of the wings! Then he flew over the car as he gained height. Talk about loud. I was talking to a friend on the phone who was just shocked at the noise. I never figured I would come that close to a figher jet! Loved the shop and the video. Lots of eye candy. Marty H.
Yikes, Marty - that is pretty close!!
I heard one the news one of them had to drop out of the formation due to a tire that had to be replaced!
@@karenquilter4101 Yes, the next day during the air show.
Where do you live? We’re in Raindance Windsor we watched them all week practicing etc
Wow! I would have been un-nerved!
Roses would make a nice background for a gift cross stitch.
The roses and butterfly fabrics are beautiful.
Im thankful for all the ladies that do floss tubes. I always look forward to them. I love to watch my butterfly in the garden.
I am thankful for a lovely community of stitchy friends. Looking forward to growing a butterfly garden with roses next spring.
I love to see a butterfly sitting on a flower
I am so thankful for the floss tube community. I love all the videos and get a lot of finishing ideas from them.
I'm thankful for you. And for all you bring to the flosstube community. The big bonus is your new cross stitch shop! ❤
Thank you so much, Susan!
Roses are beautiful and a butterfly or butterflies flitting around makes it more special. Thanks!
I am so thankful there are butterflies and roses in the world. Love your videos!
Another great video. I'm thankful for the butterfly that hovers over the roses. The Blue Angels are awesome to see and loud to hear!
I’m thankful for a fluttering butterfly and pretty roses. I have been enjoying your flosstube.
I love pumpkin pie. My reminder my mom and I making her special recipe for pumpkin pie so I also have wonderful memories every time I have a bite
I lived for awhile in Pensacola, Florida as a child where the Blue Angels are home ported. They practiced frequently over our house. Now I live in Maryland near Annapolis, and every year the Blue Angels perform during the Naval Academy graduation. It is a sight to behold. Roses and butterfly
How fun that you have had them as a part of your life for a long time. They are impressive!
Being thankful is a great way to start our days.
Thanks for a another wonderful Flosstube episode. I have had many opportunities to watch the Blue Angels practice and perform. Their precision flying is absolutely amazing. Thank you for showing the different fabric types. Roses are my favorite flower and I’m thankful for the beautiful color butterflies bring to a garden. I wish you continued success with growing your business.
Brenda and Laura got me with the Book of Days too. Love your cute cupboard. I am so thankful for the art of cross stitching. My Grandma would say Roses Roses Roses instead of a swear word!!!! We had so much success with our Butterfly Bush this summer.
That's so cute - roses, roses, roses. Love it.
I looove the Blue Angels! What a treat!
I love pumpkin spice latte, I know it’s not a food but that is what I looks forward to. If anyone stopped watching you when you got to shop news they missed a lot of good info about fabrics. Thanks.
Thanks, Pam!
Your stitching is beyond beautiful! Love that you show us projects by a good variety of designers, it really helps get ideas flowing.
Well thank you, Ginny!
Be Thankful for all the roses and butterfly. Love seeing what you have been up too. Happy stitching Patty
Thankful for all the wonderful gifts God has given me and my family❤️
I love that border on His eye is on the sparrow. That will beautiful when finished. Thx for Ollie and friend's. So cute. Keep stitching
Right? The border is just gorgeous on this pattern!
Thankful I found your Flosstube....I love Roses and especially when a Butterfly lands on them.....ty for sharing your videos
Love chicken noodle soup, pumpkin bread and sourdough bread. Yummy !! Love your flosstube with projects and finishes. I am pretty limited with getting out and about with hubby's medical issues so am thankful for flosstube to keep me full of ideas of roses and butterfly
Sourdough bread is the best with soup!
I always love watching your flosstube. Thankful, roses, butterflies 🙋🏻♀️
I am so thankful that my arm and hand have recovered from falling while hiking so that i can stitch again. My roses are done for the season as is my butterfly bush.
Thankful for roses and butterflies. Love Fabric Flair. Enjoy visiting with you. Thank you!
Always happy to see you have a new podcast and to see the beautiful pieces you are stitching. It would be wonderful to stitch on Roses or Butterflies as they both bring peace of mind. Thanks for a great podcast.
My favorite fall meal is my grandmas stuffed cabbage rolls. Always brings back the time when she taught me how to make them! ❤️ Thankful for the time I shared learning from her.
I have memories of learning recipes from my grandma, too. Isn't that a wonderful memory to have?
I am thankful for all the abundance of produce from my allotment, pumpkins and squashes, apples and blackberries this time of year. I love to make spicy pumpkin soup. Roses 🌹
I am thankful for Flosstube! It keeps me company while I'm home alone. The roses and butterfly fabrics are so pretty.
So glad your stitchy business is doing well! Thanks for all the info!
Thanks for watching, Candra!
I am thankful for another great flosstube episode from you, Sherri! I enjoy making/eating pumpkin pie most of all in the fall.
That roses fabric looks divine! His eye is on the sparrow looks great- you have inspired me. Kate
I'm thankful for fall. I love the colors, cooler weather and pumpkin pancakes.
What a great idea with the Santa drops. I’m so thankful for your floss tube.
Thankful, Roses & Butterfly - such gorgeous fabrics to use. The white display unit you purchase is lovely and a good idea for displaying small finishes.
Hi! I so agree with your thoughts about having a “longer” project to savor stitching! 🧵 And I LOVE the precious little pattern you provided! How generous and thoughtful! I’m excited about y’all’s new shop venture, and I hope to visit on-line soon.
I remember seeing the Blue Angels and also the Thunderbirds as a child growing up, and I still remember the thrill of the absolute awe and excitement, and the noise and power of it! ✈️
Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into making these videos for us…always so gorgeous and informative, and well as relaxing and entertaining ☺️. Have a blessed week, Sheri!
Meline
Thanks so much for your sweet comment, Meline!
I am thankful for your floss tubes, I love roses and love to watch a butterfly
Thank you for watching, Cathy!
One thing that makes me thankful is I live in Minnesota where I can get wild rice and I make chicken wild rice soup in the winter as a comfort food. I have never done cross stitch on colored fabric but I can see where a garden that has roses and a butterfly here and there would be beautiful.
Yes, one of my favorite soups, too!
First things first - your hair looks great! The cut and highlights are so flattering on you.
My other favorite part of this video is seeing the different linen colorways. It's so helpful seeing them next to each other and opened up. I find it can be tricky shopping online for linen and this way I feel like I'm seeing it in person.
You're so sweet! I just rewatched a portion this morning and thought it looked kind of like a mess! 🙃 You're so right on shopping for linens - it's a bit of a gamble when shopping for the hand-dyes, but also part of the fun in getting a surprise!
Another great flosstube, thankful for keeping me company during the night.
Happy to keep you company, Diana!
Thanks for another fun video. I’m really thankful that you have increased to making one every three weeks. And I really like the shop news section. Today’s lesson about fabrics was very informative . Thanks again. Here’s wishing you roses and butterflies!
Love making tortilla soup and chicken corn chowder. I also love making pumpkin anything. Lol. I am Thankful for the change of seasons! My Roses are all dead. The butterflies are gone for the winter.
I’m very thankful I found you on flosstube. I so enjoy your videos. It’s like listening to a long time friend. My roses are long finished in my garden but yesterday I saw a butterfly. Thank you Sheri!
I'm glad we can be virtual stitchy friends, Marcy!
Excellent video. Love seeing your stitching. I am thankful for white and blue pumpkins, beautiful rose and butterfly fabric.
Favorite meal is stew and biscuits. Anything that needs to cook all day is wonderful because it fills the house with wonderful smells.
Yes, totally agree on the all day cooking!
I would try the small pillow that is on the bottom, it's gorgeous. I did that with 40 count and I was so glad I did. I can do 40 count, but it is not enjoyable for me, and is that not why we are stitching, for the enjoyment. I love 36 count. My favorite thing to make in the fall, is anything that goes into the oven. It warms the house and makes house smell amazing when my husband comes home from work. He always gets very excited when he comes through the door and says something smell good!!! Be Thankful and I love Roses, they are one of my favorite flowers. It always make me sad when we sell a home and move and the first thing the new owners do is take out all of the roses that I have planted. Hope you have a great week.
Oh my goodness - I can't imagine removing rose bushes!! I would love moving into a home that had them.
how much fun to watched the Blue Angels I used to live in Chicagoland area and they would fly over. I am loving pot roast for winter now that I use V-8 juice for water everyone goes crazy for it. I am thankful for finding this community It has brought so much joy. Thinking of roses my father had the most beautiful roses which also brought beautiful butterfly's. Have a blessed day!!
V8 in the roast sounds wonderful - great idea!
Harvest tomato soup with corn bread is my fall favorite. I'm thankful for a butterfly and roses.
I love, love that little cabinet you found, so darling! Thank you for the sweet freebie.
Enjoy watching your finishes and new projects. Butterflies and roses fabrics,, so pretty.
I love the Be Thankful pattern. The roses and butterfly linen is beautiful! Enjoying your floss tubes!
This time of year I make a soup that is Portuguese , it has kielbasa, onion, red beans, pototoes, and a large amount of collard. Greens. The base is made by boiling g the kielbasa and onions in about 10 or 12 cups of water. So soothing. I am thankful for the gift of stitching and crafting with friends.
That sounds wonderful!
What a sweet little cabinet to tuck in and be filled with pretties. Your WIPs are Beautiful and what great plans !!! Thanks for the lesson on the different types of linen - very helpful.
Thanks so much, Linda!
Thanks for clarify the differences with types of linen. Fall is a wonderful time of year for comfort food. Beef stew is one of my favourites and brings comfort. Your roses and butterfly fabrics are amazingly beautiful.
Sew thankful for the talents God has given me. Love all forms of sewing
When the weather turns colder we love a cup of pumpkin soup! Enjoyed all that you showed us. Am going to try to get those oh so cute milk thread drops here in the Netherlands. We are Thankful for the Roses!
It is so fun to have hearty comfort food in the fall. I like to make homemade soups, vegetable, bean and split pea. Awesome rose an butterfly fabrics.

Love listening to you. I’m amazed what you are able to accomplish. Thanks for sharing the fabric. It’s tough when you don’t have an LNS
I love a warm chili with cornbread in the Fall. Delicious! I am thankful for roses and butterfly. Thanks for the video!!!!
My favorite fall food is my mom’s pecan pie. I’m thankful that she taught me how to cook. Roses are my favorite. Butterfly is a beautiful fabric
Two days ago the two of us shared the chopping duty and tried your friend's casserole. We enjoyed it very much, but especially on day 2...when it quickly and completely disappeared! Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
So glad you tried it and enjoyed it!
Roses and butterfly fabrics would be so fun to use for stitching. I appreciate the information on fabrics you shared.
I love chili and cornbread in the fall. Roses and butterflies are so pretty in the summer

I’m thankful for your flosstube. Really enjoy it. Roses & butterfly fabrics are beautiful
I'm thankful that you watch! 😃
Roses and butterfly ..so pretty! Glad you now sell linens..yay!
I am happy for you having opened your cross stitch portion of the shop! I think it would be so much fun to have a cross stitch store! I actually would love to do that once I retire from my current job! I am thankful to be able to cross stitch, and my vision is good enough to see! I love yellow roses! Butterfly material is beautiful!
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your FlossTube videos recently. Your stitching is gorgeous, and finishes are amazing, inspiring me to fully finish projects finally! The roses and butterfly fabrics are beautiful.
Thanks so much, Amelia!
Wonderful video once again thank you. My mother's favorite flowers were roses and we really enjoyed I yes the butterflies that were attracted to the garden.
Thanks for the free pattern. Love your projects. My favorite fall meal is chili and cornbread. Favorite fall dessert is warm apple crisp. I'm thankful for being able to stitch most of the weekend. I love roses and butterfly.
Love your new designs, and great projects. White pumpkins are my favorites. Be Thankful is on my wishlist.
Be thankful for the Blue Angels. That is the sound of freedom. My favorite fall foods is anything pumpkin,..pumpkin cream cheese muffins, pumpkin squash soup and of course Starbucks pumpkin cold brew.
Well I have not had a Starbucks Pumpkin Cold Brew. Need to investigate!!
Congratulations on your shop! Butterfly and Roses. I am thankful for you!
I'm thankful for you, too, Rebecca!
This is my first time finding and watching your TH-cam video. You stitch so nicely. I am thankful for roses and butterfly.
I'm glad you found me, Mary - thanks for watching!
For some reason I start to crave spiced desserts in the fall. I make pumpkin cake, sweet potato casserole and snicker doodles. I mainly love the smell of the spices while things are baking.
Love the little white cabinet. I thrift a little for dough bowls and even found an antique shell box that I absolutely love! I have seen a few of the small cabinets but we don’t have a lot of space so I avoid buying pieces like that. Although, I might next time because I have a bunch of smalls that would look good in one. I would love to find some antique roses or flowers to decorate with. My aunt used to make fake flowers and I remember my grandmother having them all around the house. I am thankful for thrift shops or antique stores. So many lovely things can be discovered.
The discovery is such a big part of the fun in those shops, isn't it? 😃
I enjoy anything pumpkin in the fall. Im thankful for family and frie.
I am thankful for all stitching projects...my favorite fall goodie is pumpkin pie cake...
Thank you for the talking about the fabrics. New to stitching on anything but Aida so it's going to be an exciting to learn to stitch on other fabrics. And they are dyed and printed too ...how exciting! Never would of went off the beaten path if I hadn't found flosstube or your Colorado Stitches videos. Thaks so much. Roses are always in bloom here in Maui but if you could send some snow to the higher elevations of our volcanoes it help end the 5 yr drought we've been enduring😀
What a beautiful place to live, Maureen!
Loved your video. And thanks for all the links that you add. Makes it so helpful to have them posted. I am so thankful that I am a part of this awesome community of cross stitchers. My favorite fall meal is my homemade vegetable soup and pumpkin cookies. The roses & butterfly material is beautiful.
Pumpkin cookies? That sounds wonderful!
Wow! The Roses and Butterfly fabrics are gorgeous!
I do love those white pumpkins in Thankful. That rose fabric looks very pretty to stitch on. I like making sheet pan meals in the fall as the roasted veggies are fabulous 😊
