Lentil & Chicken Sausage Stew

I was rummaging through my pantry and realized I have an abundance of lentils. Lentils are a powerhouse of nutrition, very inexpensive and extremely versatile. Everyone should be eating more lentils! This Lentil & Chicken Sausage Stew is made in a slow cooker and perfect for the chilly autumn night. Serve it with a loaf of crusty bread and a crisp green salad.

One Pot Dirty Rice

Dirty rice is a traditional Cajun and Creole dish made from white rice which gets a "dirty" color from being cooked with small pieces of chicken liver or giblets, green bell pepper, celery, and onion, and spiced with cayenne and black pepper. This version skips the chicken livers, which I suppose makes it a Not-So-Dirty-Rice! This spicy One Pot Dirty Rice is a great weeknight meal served with cornbread.

Chicken Basil Sausage and Artichoke Lasagna Skillet

Lasagna, in general, is too much work. I am too lazy and do not like to make it, so lasagna is a rare occurrence in my house. This Chicken Basil Sausage and Artichoke Lasagna Skillet is WAY easier and the chicken and artichokes is a nice change from the traditional lasagna. It's all done in one skillet and ready in about 30 minutes.

Roasted Sausages and Grapes

When I mention this recipe to people, I get blank stares. Grapes? Has no one heard of Chicken Veronique? Roasted Sausages and Grapes is one of Ina Garten's recipes from her book, Foolproof. It's delicious and worth the raised eyebrows. Serve it with mashed potatoes or polenta. It's from Ina's favorite restaurants in Providence, Rhode Island called Al Forno.
