Johnsonville Secret Ingredient Recipe: Chicken Sausage & Rice Stir Fry Recipe

March 22, 2013 By 1 Comment

From time to time I work with Johnsonville and they provide me with coupons to buy sausage with. This month they also provided me with coupons for a secret ingredient. I had to use Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice so I picked up a bag of the Long Grain & Wild Rice. Then using Johnsonville Chicken Sausage I created Sausage & Rice Stir Fry.

Johnsonville Italian Sausage Chili Challenge Recipe

February 26, 2013 By 9 Comments

I was asked by Johnsonville to create a chili recipe using Johnsonville Italian Sausage, and share it with you guys and drop it off at my local firehouse to share some warmth with our local heroes. For some reason in our city they don’t accept food from outside of the firehouse. Therefore I cooked up some chili and shared it at church. My kids and I loved it, I think it was well received by others too.

January 15, 2013 By 13 Comments

My daughter actually told me what she wanted for dinner the other night. She said mom, please make some sausage, and working with Johnsonville on a regular basis keeps my freezer full of sausage so I was quite happy that I could oblige her request. I wanted to make more than just sausage though, so I got a little creative, I combine a little bit of my Alfredo recipe with a few other ingredients. It was delicious.
