Another thing I need to address...my last trip to Trader Joe's was all in an effort to find WLC approved foods. Well, that was sooo much harder than I thought it would be. EVERYTHING had sugar added to it! The taco seasoning, sausages, pre-marinaded roasts, bacon and even the organic chicken broth! I did find two sausages I THOUGHT didn't have sugar, then I noticed, after serving them, that the Smoked, Apple Chardonnay has, well, chardonnay (wine). Duh! But, I didn't see sugar as an ingredient at first glance so I grabbed them. Honestly, I made this recipe with a sausage that has a non WLC approved food in them...SUCK! I'm going to share it anyways...
What you'll need:
2 packages Trader Joe's Smoked Apple Chardonnay Chicken Sausages ($8)
1 onion ($1)
2 peppers (I used red) ($2)
1-10 oz bag Trader Joe's shredded cabbage ($2)
6 slices bacon ($2?)
Chop onion, set aside.
Chop pepper, set aside.
Cut sausages, set aside.
Cut bacon into small pieces.
In a pan, heat some butter or oil on medium high. Add bacon and saute just a few minutes. Add the onion, peppers and cabbage. Cook another 3 to 5 minutes until slightly soft. Set aside. Keep pan on and hot. Add a little more butter or oil. When that's hot,
add sausages to the pan and cook until done, about 5 minutes.
Mix the sausages with the veggies and serve.
Yep, it's that easy and all for about $15, or less.
Oh, another thing, this is like 4 servings, so you can make it a dinner and lunch the next day. And, to my "special" friend, this may last you even a third meal!?
Side note: Trader Joe's does have some fabulous dried fruit with no sugar added and unsulferized (sp?)
