I brown the sausage, remove it from pan throw in the white beans and let it cook with the sasuage fat, throwing a little more evoo as needed. Let the beans brown a bit, then throw the sasauage back in with the tomatoes, bay leaf and spices, and and some water/chkn stock (maybe 1/4-1/2 cup, just enough that it doesn't dry out) and let it simmer. I'll also throw some baby spinach or other mild green on top and let it wilt. Let it all simmer on low for about, oh, 10-15ish minutes so the flavors combine and serve.
white beans and sausage...i have to try this...thanks
+1 That sounds great.
We do salmon cakes alot. I mix and shape the patties the night before then toss a salad while they are under the broiler.

Quiche! So easy and delicious. I often do turkey bacon and broccoli, but it's very easy to switch the ingredients depending on your preference!

This sounds yummy!! What do you stuff the squash with??
I actually picked it up from another post here a couple years ago. Lots of room for variation, the original post was vegetarian but I use mild sausage, onion with prepared wild rice, dried cranberries, a roasted nut (walnut, almond, whatever you like), mixed with Parmesan cheese and chicken broth if dry.
If you search the archives you should be able to find the original post. And I've found freezing/thawing works fine

Cous cous or quinoa with Annie's roasted garlic dressing (any dressing), feta and then whatever I want. I typically load it with fresh veggies and top with peppadew peppers.

I staple of mine is
1 can of white beans, 1 package of sausage (I've used both pork and chicken), cherry tomatoes cut in half, a bay leaf and whatever other seasonings feel right.
I brown the sausage, remove it from pan throw in the white beans and let it cook with the sasuage fat, throwing a little more evoo as needed. Let the beans brown a bit, then throw the sasauage back in with the tomatoes, bay leaf and spices, and and some water/chkn stock (maybe 1/4-1/2 cup, just enough that it doesn't dry out) and let it simmer. I'll also throw some baby spinach or other mild green on top and let it wilt. Let it all simmer on low for about, oh, 10-15ish minutes so the flavors combine and serve.
