Pumpkin Oatmeal & A Weekly Meal Plan

You know you live in Texas whenever it's 84 degrees

and you're already whipping out the pumpkin&gumbo!

But hey! I'm not complaining one bit! Bring on the Fall!

I followed my normal oatmeal recipe <-- click and

cooked it until I would normally be finished. Then,

after it was to the right consistency I wanted, I stirred in

the 3 tablespoons of canned pumpkin.  Definitely my new

 favorite oatmeal! Perfect for this weeks cooler Texas weather!

 

This weeks weekly meals are Chicken Salad & Italian Sausage!

Chicken Salad!

_________________________________________
Ingredients:
1 Can Of Tyson Pre Cooked Chicken
2 Celery Stalks
1 Cup Of Green Grapes
(I Usually Use Purple, But I Had Green)
A Handfull Of Walnuts
1 TBS Mustard
1 TBS Mayonaise
(I HATE Mayo, But It Needs The Texture!)

Italian Sausage With Onion & Bell Pepper

 

___________________________________
Ingredients:
1 Package HEB Mild Italian Sausage
1 Onion
2 Bellpeppers
___________________________________

 

I cook my sausage on medium heat in a little bit of water

(a little less than halfway up) to help cook the insides as fast

as the outside. I definitely don't want any raw pork for dinner!

I let the sausage cook for about 15 minutes, or until the

water has all cooked out. Putting on a lid will help cook the

inside of the sausage too! After the water has cooked out I

like to turn up the heat to about 7 or 8 to get good, crisp outsides

on the Italian Sausage. After they are done I put my sliced onion

and bellpeppers into the little bit of grease left over from the sausages.

I just saute them until desired transparency.

Put it all on a bun and enjoy!

 

 

 Enjoy!
