A bowl of soup

It's the middle of September, and across some of the country it's getting cooler. That means it's the perfect time for a bowl of soup!

Sausage and salad

Where has the last month gone?!  I've been traveling a LOT! In the time I've been absent I took a trip from Tampa, FL to Seattle, WA and upon my return I moved from Tampa, FL to Oklahoma City, OK!  I'm just beginning to settle down (temporarily) into Oklahoma.  I may move around a LOT, but I don't think I'll ever lose my passion for flavour.

One recent change I've made has been eating healthier.  Earlier this year I became acquainted with al Fresco sausages.  They have made their way into my kitchen on a regular basis. I'm loving their Roasted Garlic chicken sausage.  It's packed full of flavour and is also healthy -for those on a points plan it calculates out to 3 points per sausage!  Today I made a super fantastic ceasar salad (6 points!)


Can you believe this salad can be made in less than 10 minutes?!  I don't think you could drive to that overly priced sandwich, soup, and salad place and get a salad this good!

Refreshingly good - sausage!

For the month of April one of the brand partners I've worked with has been Al Fresco. Their products are both natural, unique and taste amazing!  While not all products are readily available in my city, the products I've tried have been bursting with flavour!

One of the recipes I've tried is the Sweet Apple Chicken Sausage, Endive, & Blueberry Salad with Toasted Pecans I did make some deviations to the original recipe but it didn't detract from the mouth watering goodness!


One of the slight changes I made was to use Lyle's Golden Syrup in place of the honey.  I found that the Lyle's golden syrup gives a distinctive buttery taste that is simply incredible!   In place of pecans I used glazed walnuts. 

Many of those that I've had the occasion of discussing the Al Fresco sausage with have all mentioned the same thing...price point.  Depending on where you live, the sausage may run $6 for a package.  I easily remedied the pricing issue by purchasing the breakfast version of the sausage - which is the same product, but the sausage size is reflective of it being the breakfast version. 

Al Fresco currently has a coupon for $1 off their products so if you're lucky enough to locate their products give them a try - your mouth will thank you!
