Sausage and Peppers

Ever get tired of the same old recipes all the time? Sausage, peppers, onions... boring. Well, maybe spicy sausage, peppers and onions aren't so boring. So, I tried adding some vegetables. Now, my family isn't going to like just plain old vegetables added to their sausage and peppers, so my task was to disguise them to look like peppers. Ah Hah!

New recipe is sausage, squash, red onions and peppers over polenta.

1 package sausage, cut into 2 inch pieces
2 yellow or green squash, sliced in strips
1/2 red onion sliced
1 garlic, diced
1 red bell pepper
1 package polenta
mozzerella cheese
parmesan cheese

Slice up all the vegetables, 2 inches x 1/4 inch. Heat olive oil in large saute pan, add diced garlic, onion, sausage, squash and pepper. Stir until sausage is browned all over. Turn heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 25 to 30 minutes.

Turn oven to 350 degrees. Cut polenta into 1/2 inch slices and put into an ovenproof pan like a pie plate. Sprinkle the top with mozzerella and parmesan cheese. Heat in oven for 25 minutes.

Serve sausage over the polenta.

Berry Yogurt Dessert

I've been thinking that maybe it's better to take the fat out of the recipes completely. No more fat, no more sugar. What has the world come to?

Latest desserts are berries... maybe berries with gelatin and Splenda. Here's the idea:

1 Cup of frozen berries
1 T Splenda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 package of gelatin
1 Cup non-fat plain yogurt

Boil on stovetop.

Pour the whole thing into a blender. Add yogurt. Whirl it up. Pour into 3 serving dishes. Cool in refrigerator for about 2 hours.
