When I’m tired after a long session of studying, this easy recipe always perks me up. And of course, it’s got hot and spicy sausage!
I like to cook sausage right when I bring it home so I can freeze it. I can just pull the cooked sausage out of the freezer and add it to whatever I am making that night for dinner. It’s a fast and easy way to get some protein into just about any meal!
So I thought I’d continue the April Fools’ Day theme by suggesting you take a listen to “My Foolish Heart” sung by Frank Sinatra and remember it is never foolish to prepare ahead!
