baked potatoes

I needed a good recipe for baked potatoes, as silly as this sounds. This one turned out really well, so I'm keeping it here!

Baked Potatoes 

Breakfast Sausage

I have looked for an easy breakfast sausage that I could make for a long time. I like to have it occasionally as patties served with breakfast and also like to use it in our favorite breakfast casserole. It was my aim to find a recipe that was both tasty and didn't have all the harmful ingredients that prepackaged sausage have.

This is the recipe I used, and I really like it. I used lean ground turkey. I think if there was anything I missed it was the greasiness of regular sausage. Perhaps using lean ground beef would add that wonderful missing ingredient?

This will definitely be a staple in our breakfast routine, and I can't wait to try it in the breakfast casserole recipe.

*** Edited to add. I did miss the greasiness of regular sausage. I have been carefully saving my good bacon grease, and in a moment of ingenuity I added about a teaspoon of grease to this recipe and they were perfect. Yay!

Kale, potato & turkey sausage soup

My friend Hayes is an amazing cook. She made me some of this soup 10 years ago, and I still remember how good it was and how much I loved it.

This recipe came up on my newsfeed the other day, and I decided to try it for myself. It was pretty easy to make but took a bit longer prep-wise than I was expecting. 

I'm pretty sure it's going to be worth it, though...

Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken

This is my new favorite website. I just happened upon it on Facebook and I'm so glad I did. 

This is the first recipe I tried, and it was really good. I can't wait to try more...
