Product Review – Hillshire Farm Turkey Smoked Sausage

Friday, May 28th, 2010

Last night we were both just exhausted for no good reason. Luckily, I'd seen a Hillshire Farm Turkey Smoked Sausage in the store and picked it up. We like the regular smoked sausage, but it tends to be very greasy. This turkey version is just as flavorful ...

Sauteed Shrimp with Tomatoes and Arugula

Saturday, May 22nd, 2010

This is a recipe inspired by one in the June 2010 issue of Everyday Food. I upped the veggies and the garlic to match our tastes. It all works great together! I broiled some zucchini for a second veggie side. Sauteed Shrimp with Tomatoes and Arugula Serves 2 generously 1 ...

Tortilla de Patatas – Spanish Egg and Potato Omlette

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

This is classic Spanish home cooking at its best - simple ingredients come together to make a dish greater than the sum of its parts. I've been seeing recipes for these around a lot recently, and finally decided to make one myself. My primary inspiration came from Elise ...

Chicken Potato Scramble

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

This was a quick and easy use of some leftovers from last night's roasted chicken. It's full of protein, and if my skillet wasn't so full, I would have thrown in some more veggies too. We're trying to cut down on the processed carbs and foods this month ...

Italian Smoked Sausage and Vegetable Skillet

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

This is a variation on my chicken bruschetta, just using a pound of smoked sausage instead of chicken. I do prefer the chicken version, but this is a nice change of pace. I made this for lunch today, with leftovers to take to work for lunches. Italian Smoked Sausage ...

Yes, this is weird, but it is good :-P These are just my guacamole and my favorite hot dogs.

Ghetto Garlic Bread
