Welcome! I am so happy you chose to gather around my table. My name is Mia Swinehart and I am a registered dietitian with a passion for simple healthy recipes, women's hormonal health, and overall wellness!
A delicious, easy, flavorful one pan dinner! This creamy Italian sausage and potato skillet packs in lots of protein, vegetables, and has the most amazing flavors. This is, hands down, one of my new go-to dinner recipes!
Once I made this a couple times, I honestly could just whip it up without even following the recipe- it’s that simple and straight-forward!
All you need for this healthy dinner recipe is:
Italian sausage (pork or chicken will work)
Bell pepper
Onion
Olive oil (or sub butter)
Potatoes
Broth
Heavy cream
Spinach
Parmesan
Plus a few simple seasonings and that’s it!
This one pan skillet dinner is:
Gluten free
Grain free
Soy free
Egg free
Nut free
Plus, it’s high in protein for a filling and satisfying dish. You can serve it on it’s own, or add an extra side of veggies. I served this with a side of roasted broccoli and it was perfect!
I am so excited for you all to make this new recipe! This creamy Italian sausage and potato skillet is such a great staple weeknight dinner. If you make it, be sure to let me know what you think! Enjoy! xo

I love everything about this meal! So easy and so yummy. I replace the cream with Nutpods creamer to make it a little lighter and it’s still perfect.
