A fool and his sausages are soon parted.



Touch my sausages and die!

Variety's the very spice of life, that gives it all it's flavour.”    

― William Cowper

This is true about a lot of things.. new adventures keep me from getting bored and I always learn something new. My favorite adventures are food related, of course.. Trying a new restaurant, new method of cooking or a new food.  I seem to get stuck in the "boneless, skinless chicken breast" rut and always enjoy it when I break out of that.  This month Allrecipes partnered with Johnsonville Sausage for the second year in a row and this meant I got to eat yummy sausages!!  These are the two I decided to work with : Mild Ground Italian Sausage and Chicken Sausage Chipotle Monterey Jack Cheese

 

Mild Ground Italian Sausage

Chicken Sausage Chipotle Monterey Jack Cheese

The first thing I made was this Easy Sausage Pizza by Johnsonville®   and I used the ground Italian sausage in this dish

 I added mushrooms just because I like them.... a really delicious easy dish that would lend itself to any veggies or cheese you like. The sausage is so flavorful, you don't need to add any spices to the dish

I had some leftover ground Italian sausage so I tried it in another recipe Spicy Breakfast Meatballs

I used the sausage with ground turkey and it was really good.. Had this for dinner a few nights and really enjoyed it. Who doesn't love breakfast for dinner???

Last night I cracked open the Chicken Chipotle Sausage and made Fettuccine with Roasted Tomatoes, Vegetables and Sausage

Another winner... all this needed for me was some fresh cracked pepper and a little pink sea salt. Roasting veggies really changes their flavor so if you've never tried it, give it a whirl. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. The sausage itself was delicious, and since it's made with chicken, it's a healthy and lighter choice.

I am really happy to have had the opportunity to test Johnsonville recipes. I had never used the product before but now, when I need sausage, I look at this brand first
