Turkey Sausage Pasta Dish

Image
 I know this dish may not look and sound like much but it really was quite tasty. We had some fresh turkey sausage links from a meat CSA (community supported agriculture) box we got this year and I wanted to come up with some way to use it that didn't require cheese since there was already feta in the sausage. I read a few pasta/sausage dish recipes and cobbled together one of my own using my favorite ingredients.    Ingredients: 1 onion; diced 6 small sweet peppers; sliced 1 clove garlic, minced 6 mushrooms; sliced 5 feta spinach turkey sausage links (or sausage links of your choice); sliced 1 box pasta  1 small head of broccoli; cut into florets 2 cups chicken broth    1. Saute the onions, peppers, garlic, mushrooms & sausage together.   2. In a separate pan boil the box of pasta according to package directions and drain.  3. Once the sausage is fully cooked and the vegetables are browned, add in the 2 cups of chicken broth and the...

A Tuesday Day In the Life on a Thursday

Image
I decided to document last Tuesday November 4th for A Day in the Life with Joyce at From This Side of the Pond. It was a lovely day with nothing much on my to do list.  5:15-5:30 I woke up, hopped on the computer to check emails and make sure my blog posts were up for the day.   5:30-6:00 I got up, got dressed for the gym, straightened my hair, made the bed, started a load of laundry. photo taken later when it was lighter out 6:00-6:30 I sat to work a bit more on my painting... felt like the corrections I made actually made the painting worse and decided to just walk away and let it dry before tackling it a 3rd time. 6:30- 7:15 I emptied the dishwasher & started loading it again, switched the laundry, then read my book until it was time to head to the gym. Tuesdays I take a yoga class from 8-9. 7:15-9:30 Drove to and from yoga, participated in class and also dropped off library books and got gas while I was out and about and had a car.   9:30- 10:30 checked in wi...

Hodgepodge Wednesday: Most Grateful of All

Image
 I'm joining in with Joyce for another Hodgepodge Wednesday. This week our questions run a wide gamut of topics. I love that I just never know what to expect with these. Let's just dive in.    1. What does patriotism mean to you?    To me patriotism is the love and pride one has for one's country.  2. September-October-November...your favorite fall month? Tell us why. If you live in the southern hemisphere use these months but sub spring for the word fall.    Gosh I do love them all... but I'd have to say my favorite time of fall is when our leaves at their peak (which can hit anywhere between mid-Sept. and mid- October) and the weather is just right.... so typically October. September these past few years feels too warm to feel truly like fall and while I do not mind that in the least since I'll take the warm weather for however long it wants to lasts, my favorite fall month has to be October.   3. A song you love with the word thank...
