Good Eating Monday: Rosemary Potatoes & Beans with Sweet Italian Sausage

-
Happy National Coffee Day!
The electrician installed the new light fixtures today. Just in time, too. The light in the garage was suddenly going on the fritz over the weekend, too!  I'll post pictures of before & after on Wednesday.
The electrician is a young guy and talkative. He arrived while I was watching the new season opening episode of "Once Upon a Time," on my computer at abc.com and he was excited to hear that.
Apparently he and his wife just recently discovered the program and are trying to catch up with all previous episodes. He specifically asked me for spoilers before he left. He wanted to know whether the evil queen ever becomes good and so on.
Also he told me he and his wife of 2 years just discovered today they aren't legally married, because paperwork for her previous divorce had not been properly filed. So, technically she's still married to her previous husband. Who knew?
They have a sense of humor about it, though. It means paperwork being re-done & fully filed, then the marriage done all over again.
He said he told her, "This time, we do the wedding my way."
I didn't ask what "her way" had been. I assume he means just a court house wedding.

Today's Good Eating recipe is something I put together for dinner this week that came out exceptionally tasty:
Rosemary Potatoes & Beans with Sweet Italian Sausage.
The secret ingredients to this recipe is "Green Giant Steamers Roasted Red Potatoes,Green Beans & Rosemary Butter Sauce" and Johnsonville Sweet Italian Sausage!
One steamer bag serves 2 people, so if you want enough for 4 people, buy 2 of these frozen Steamers and use 1 whole tray of  5 Johnsonville Sweet Sausage. 
You can also select other flavors of Johnsonville, such as hot or mild. I prefer fresh Johnsonville sausages because they are fresh.

Ingredients for 2 People:
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 Johnsonville Sweet Italian Sausages (save other 3 sausages for another meal)
1/2 cup sliced onion
1 cup frozen pepper strips
1 bag Green Giant Steamer Roasted Red Potatoes, Green Beans & Rosemary Butter Sauce, cooked as directed on package in microwave.

Directions:
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat: add olive oil and both sausages. Brown sausages on both sides. Using sharp knife & fork, slice sausages so they fall apart into ground pork pieces. Add onions & pepper strips and saute until veggies are tender & sausage meat is browned. Turn down heat to low-med.
Cut open hot, cooked Steamer bag and empty into veggies & sausage. Add a little water to package, swish around to get all that flavored butter sauce & pour into frying pan. Stir all to combine, making sure it's all hot. Then turn off burner & divide mix of sausage, veggies & potatoes between 2 plates & serve.
Enjoy and no extra seasoning needed!
*****
I used the other 3 sausages in spaghetti sauce later in the week and I think I really like that as my spaghetti sauce meat.

Eat up, me hearties, yo-ho!

Good Eating Monday: Apple Cranberry Sausage Stuffing!

Now this some wicked good dressing!  I tried it for Thanksgiving this year and everyone loved it! I've been looking for just the right dressing and I may have finally found it!  It's also healthy with a tasty combo of fruit, veggies and a mix of white & whole wheat bakery breads. It will fill a  fill a 9 x 13 pan.  You can use fresh or dried herbs. I've included the measurements for both. Just remember dried seasoning is more concentrated in flavor because it is dried, so you need less of it then fresh herbs. I have fresh Parsley growing outside and this was a great use for it! I found leftover over stuffing wonderful heated up and topped with a over-easy egg for lunch!  Apple Cranberry Sausage Stuffing Ingredients:  5 1/2 cups fresh European style or sourdough bread, white, sliced and cubed 2 1/2 cups wheat bread, whole grain sliced and cubed 1 lb ground pork or turkey ( I used Jimmy Dean's Turkey Crumbles, which was 8 oz and that worked great! ) 1 1/2

Good Eating Monday: Peach Cobbler Dump Cake!

Yes, I tried another new Pinterest recipe and this one is a winner! The primary dictionary definition of a "Dump Cake," is an easily made cobbler in which cake mix is dumped over canned fruit or pie filling.  This recipe was pinned from Del Monte, which means it's been a recipe that's been created & tested in a corporate test kitchen. That's one benefit of all those label, can & box recipes provided by manufacturers on their product packaging. You can even buy cookbooks featuring nothing, but package & label recipes of which many are vintage. The only changes I'd suggest is add one more 15 oz can of fruit. It can be more peaches, cherry fruit cocktail, regular fruit cocktail or whatever you want. (So, I've noted 4 cans of peaches in the recipe.)   It just needs a little more volume on the fruit quantity.  And stir a teaspoon or two of cinnamon into the fruit! Otherwise, this is an excellent, quick dessert you can serve hot with v

Welcome to the first week of February! It's supposed to be 31 degrees tonight, so after cleaning up the front walk beds, I went around covering various things that either are blooming, about to bloom or that have sensitive leaf buds, like my hydrangea's.  I picked all the yellow daffodils and brought them inside for a cheerful vase on my counter. For Garden Pic Wednesday this week I have an excellent photo of a pine tree flower! You didn't know pine trees flower?  Well, you'll have to stop back for a look! Today's Good Eating Recipe is a family favorite my Mother used to make often for us as kids: Old Fashioned Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding! What Old Fashioned Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding Looks Like This is just your basic wholesome old fashioned bread pudding made with just eggs, bread, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar & raisins! No sauces to make. Just simple bread pudding. We'd eat it hot with a little evaporated milk poured over the top.

Garden Pic Wednesday: Ajuga & Lettuce Crop

T oday's Garden Pic is a nice January shot of some Common Ajuga draping over the edge of a large container out front & my bumper crop of lettuce Ajuga: It's a ground cover with a burgundy tinge to it's leaves. It reaches it's best color in shade, but can tolerate light sun. This Ajuga just gets morning sun. It throws runners like a strawberry does, spreading along the ground. It's reaching for the ground and will establish once it touches around the shady side of the stump the container sits on. It's a member of the mint family.  My Winter Crop of Lettuce: This is a french head lettuce I got ordered from Seed Savers for spring 2021. It went to seed in May 2021, then dozens popped up around Sept. I separated them, this whole 4 x 8 raised bed with them. I dined on fresh crisp lettuce all winter! I've left 2 to go to seed on one end of the raised bed, so can have lettuce all winter again!  I've joined a group a ladies in a Book Club that meets once a mo
