And Persephone Is Back To Getting Dicked Down By Hades In The Underworld

the introvert urge to say “no worries either way” when you’re actually worrying both ways plus a secret third way

hey. don’t cry. carpenter&hayward best friendship okay? people’s capacity for persevering compassion and connection okay?

Sausage, Peppers & Onions

Sausage, peppers and onions. It’s genius. Those Italians were really onto something with this. It reminds me of every holiday at my mom and dad’s…it’s pretty much a staple. I added mushrooms because they sop up lots of sauce and flavor…and mushrooms just make everything much better.

Paleolicious Ingredients:

1 lb sweet Italian pork sausage (or whatever you prefer)

2 red peppers, sliced

2 yellow peppers, sliced

2 onions, sliced

4 cloves of garlic, chopped

1 (10oz) container of baby bella mushrooms, sliced

1 (15oz) can diced tomatoes

½ c chicken broth

¼ c extra virgin olive oil

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 tsp salt

1 tsp ground black pepper

1 tsp dried basil

½ red pepper flakes (optional)

——————————————————————-

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until brown on both sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the sausages from the pan. 

Add the onions, peppers, mushrooms, salt and pepper to the oil and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes. While the veggies are sautéing, slice the sausage into 1 inch cubes and set aside. Add the garlic and basil and cook another 5 minutes.

Next, stir in the tomato paste. Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth and red pepper flakes and let simmer. Stir in the cubed sausages and let sit on low-medium heat for about 30 minutes, until the sauce reduces and thickens a bit.

*My sausages weren’t cooked all the way through, so I did cook them a little more in a separate pan for a couple extra minutes before adding them to the mix*

If you’re not paleo, these would make a scrumptious sandwich on an Italian roll. But since we are paleo, we won’t do that…we will enjoy it straight from a bowl. And if we really want to act like cavemen (and cave-ladies) just use your hands. I’m kidding…please don’t do that.

I am a slut for stories where the characters refer to each other purely by last names even though they are close and their first names are like secret names you only invoke when its a super serious/intimate moment am i going insane
