Went out to get the morning papers and it's one cold morning out there, about 8 degrees with a wind chill at minus 3. Plenty of sunshine but the temperature didn't go up a lot today. Tomorrow being garbage day, it's always clean the fridge out of leftovers also. I got that done and on to laundry. The effort of cleaning and salting the driveway and curb yesterday paid off, as everything froze last night. Those that let theirs go have one frozen mess today. For dinner tonight I prepared a couple of new favorites, Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage with Red Bell Peppers w/ Cool Bean Salad.
Came across the Thin ‘n Trim All Natural Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage with Red Bell Peppers at Kroger last week. I had prepared one for my lunch the other day and it was so good I thought I would have them for my dinner tonight. They are pre-cooked, so all you have to do is heat them up and they’re ready to serve. I heated mine up in the microwave and served it on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun and topped with French’s Spicy Golden Mustard. It’s a great tasting, meaty Sausage with excellent flavor. The Red Bell Peppers with the Chicken Sausage is perfect, and so easy to prepare. They have different varieties so I’ll be trying the others also.
I had prepared a Cool Bean Salad a couple of nights ago and having the leftovers tonight. Another easily prepared item using a can of Read 3 Bean salad as the main ingredient. Makes a tasty and refreshing side dish. I left the complete recipe at the end of the post. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Yogurt.
