On the days that I really do not feel like cooking dinner…like REALLY don’t feel like it, I often ponder the reason why.  I don’t dislike cooking…because, what did cooking ever do to me? And I really hope I don’t dislike cooking as I have this here food blog.  Then it hit me – it’s the clean up process that I dread and strongly dislike!  Grown up chores make me sad sometimes.  I mean, really,….when will my kitchen learn to clean itself?  When I cook or bake, I basically use every utensil I have ever owned, every bowl, every plate,and fully trash the place until looking at it makes me want to cry. Who can relate? Just me?

I’m so glad you’re here! Follow along on Pinterest for more inspiration!

I used Zweigle’s Italian chicken sausage in this One Pan Sausage Pepper Fettuccine Skillet.  Shout out to my favorite local brand! Their all natural, gluten-free chicken sausage is the best and the quality cannot be beat!  I actually very much prefer it to any other kind of sausage and swap it in for almost any and all recipes that use sausage. It really is the perfect alternative to pork or beef sausage and much more health-conscious! They sell 5 different varieties: Spinach and Feta, Italian, Chorizo, Buffalo Style, Lime Chipotle.  I find that I use the Italian more than all of the others because it’s so versatile and the flavor just fits in with so many meals that I make.  I tend to cook a lot with pasta, though, so you might find you prefer one of the other flavors.  Either way, you really can’t go wrong as far as the amazing taste.
