Between homework, sports activities, and of course crafting, we often start dinner far later than intended and far later than we should. I used to be so good at it, gathering up my ingredients around 4:30pm, ready to plate dinner the minute my husband walked in the door, but it seems like time change has gotten the best of all of us. Because of how slow in prep I have been the past week, and I am sure will be into the spring and summer breaks, coming up with meals that are fast and hearty are a priority for me. I would much rather be hanging with my family or prepping for a new day instead of standing in the kitchen for 2 hours. I am sure you agree. That is why when I was challenged to create a great meal with Aidells® Cajon Andouille Sausage and share it, I was like YES. I need this! I am all over this! I am just the right person to enforce a get in, get out mentality in the kitchen.
And voila!
Hearty. Delicious. Under 30 minutes- yes, please!
Now I bet you think I am going to use Aidells® Cajon Andouille Sausage for red beans and rice. Hello. I’m from the south. We eat red beans and rice like its Taco Tuesday. But I wanted to bring you something just a bit more and include a few of those green veggies. After all, as a parent, it’s my job to forcefully get my kids to swallow something that resembles a tree atleast one night a week.
