Italian Sausage

Italian sausage has so many uses and I much prefer to make it at home rather than buy it in the store because then I have complete control over the spices in it, the heat level, everything.

It’s great fried up with eggs for a morning omelet. Its uses are pretty much endless. Just think outside the box and figure out where you could put this.

Sausage Stuffed Peppers

This recipe is a wonderful comfort food with a fun twist on classic sausage and peppers. Any ground meat or tofu can be used in place of the sausage meat which allows you to fit the recipe into your dietary needs.

This recipe can be adjusted to using mini peppers sliced vertically and filled to be used as an appetizer option or stick to full sized peppers for an entree.

Stuffed Zucchini

Golbaki Cabbage Rolls

This recipe is a lot of fun to make. I changed up the filling to omit the rice, I used pork instead of beef and included many strong spices and herbs that paired well with the creamy and salty nature of the cheeses. It turned out amazing! The textures were fantastic together. Perhaps you would also like to try this as well: Take the remaining uneaten rolls that have cooled overnight and place them into a hot skillet and fry. It’s quite easy to create a sauce of parm, chicken stock, butter, and cream cheese. Pour over and allow it …
