Sausage & Pepper Fettuccine Skillet

This quick dish features kielbasa, sweet bell peppers, bursts of grape tomatoes, and pasta with a savory alfredo-like sauce.

This skillet recipe is almost made in just one pot - the pasta cooks separately. But I can totally forgive it because it's such a quick recipe to make and I love that it is so colorful. It's got a sauce that is pretty similar to an alfredo sauce and the bursts of tomato are amazing.

Spicy Cabbage with Kielbasa and Mashed Potatoes

A deliciously filling comfort meal with a little heat added to the cabbage and kielbasa that are served over the top of the mashed potatoes.

As I said in my recent cabbage recipe post (I believe, the cabbage soup post), I am slowing getting my family to like cabbage. Slowly, but surely. It does seem to be working. This spicy cabbage recipe seemed to really be a hit with everyone and I really appreciated that because not only is it cabbage...but potatoes and kielbasa too! I love homemade mashed potatoes and I now LOVE kielbasa (I used to not). So it's got all the makings of a delicious meal for me. It's really just a plus that everyone else enjoyed it too. Now, I will say that calling it spicy was a stretch as it is. If you had asked me 10 years ago, I probably would have agreed and said there was some heat, but I think my tastebuds would say it was very mild. I definitely will add hot sauce to taste next time to make it a little bit spicier. Definitely start out with the recipe's amount of cayenne and hot sauce and then adjust it to your liking! :)

Slow Cooker Tuscan Sausage and Bean Soup

Slow simmered soup that is perfect for a cool autumn night - and is so simple to prepare!

I don't really make a lot of soup in the crockpot, but after making this recipe, I am hoping to do it a bit more. It's so easy to prep the ingredients and then throw them in the crockpot to cook for a few hours. I do agree with Deborah of Taste & Tell that these veggies get mushy if you cook them for too long, so definitely cook until your desired doneness! I love soups with lots of veggies and loved the salty kielbasa in this one. I think it may have been my first soup using kielbasa as the protein :)

Kielbasa & Pierogies with Summer Veggies

The perfect way to use up some of your garden harvest with hearty pierogies and delicious kielbasa

I swear one of these days I will stop posting my recipes soooo late at night. But I am so distracted during the day and then by 7 or 8 o'clock, I realize I have had my draft open and haven't updated it past uploading the pictures. Whoops! So here I am at 10:30 at night trying to scramble to think of what to say.

So let's get to this recipe! It was my first time having pierogies and I can't think of a better way to experience them for the first time than this recipe. Nothing was covering up their taste or overpowering them and the vegetables and crisp kielbasa were wonderful with the pierogies. I can count myself a pierogi fan. I cannot wait to try them in more recipes!
