One of my favorite blogs is Cooking during stolen moments. Kate, the author, often has good recipes that my family enjoys eating. One of those recipes is Sausage-Sauekraut skillet dinner. I saw the recipe when she posted it in May and decided I needed to put it on my menu plan.
To be honest, I'm the only one who enjoys eating sauerkraut. Hubby does eat it; however, it's not his favorite. When I made it on Monday, the boys humored me and tried the sauerkraut. They both decided they were not fans of it. They both loved the sausage. I could have saved the time and effort and just cooked up the sausage. Hubby did enjoy it and I loved it. But I love sauerkraut so the likely hood of me liking it was great.
Things I did differently:
I used turkey sausage. There is no difference in taste.
Instead of canned sauerkraut, I used refridgerated sauerkraut. I also rinsed off the sauerkraut before putting it in the skillet.
I also used three potatoes.
The Imaginative One is always saying I'm hungry and asking me what he can eat. As soon as I walk through the door, my two boys ask me when dinner is and what I'm going to cook. Sometimes I hit homeruns with my dinners. While other times, I hit fouls. Join me in the journey of feeding two growing boys and one grown up boy (aka hubby).
Nice new site Traci - if the boys are not big fans of the sauerkraut, what about the Italian style- sausage and peppers. You can make enough sausage for all of you, make a little kraut for you (and hubby). Throw a few peppers in the skillet when you finish cooking the sausage. Nice flavor and a veggie to boot! (spaghetti sauce can be mixed in too). Then it is a 2 for 1 special. Looking forward to watching your new blog. Love you!
