Brussels Sprouts with Bacon & Chicken Apple Sausage

December 14, 2012 by Jaida 1 Comment

This must be my week for Brussels sprouts 🙂 Since Ashley had her baby this week, Sarah asked if I could make her dish, and I was happy to step in so that she could focus on her new bundle of joy. It was side-dish extravaganza at my house and I was loving every minute!

This side dish actually made me think of the pizza I just posted yesterday, and has me thinking that I should try adding this delicious apple chicken sausage to make one fantabulous pizza dinner! What do you think???

I think of this more as a main dish than a side dish, because of the sausage, but no matter what you call it…it’s delicious!! And, another fabulous way to cook the veggie that is quickly becoming my favorite. I used bacon instead of pancetta because it was last minute and I had bacon on hand. And hey, they’re in the same pork family 😉

Keep an eye out for that pizza…I see it coming in the near future. And, make sure to check out all the other side dish recipes below!

    Glad you liked it!
    Yumm bacon switch!!! You should try it and/or the pizza with pancetta too, lends a more subtle flavor 🙂

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
