Television Feasts

I am a home cook who backyard gardens and has a serious closet addiction to the Food Network. I envision visiting the world in my own kitchen.

From Julia to Giada, I am a bi-product of the quirky world of anything food television. At age 10 I wanted to lunch with Julia; at 12 I thought sitting at Graham Kerr's table would be bliss; in college I was a diligent voyeur student of Jeff Smith's; and as a newlywed I envisioned myself being Martha. Then the sky opened up and violin music played in the background when I discovered an entire family of food shows on the blossoming food network. Twenty years later I am still a home chef with a backyard garden, yet in my head I am a trained chef who has eaten her way around the world, tasted all things exotic, competed in many challenges, judged the best of the best, and have a circle of friends which includes Emeril, Bobby, Rachael and more. I like to learn and challenge myself simply for the pleasure of all things food. I am a student of the University of Food Network and my textbooks, exams and extra-curricular activities all stem from channel 39.

Sausage with Peppers and Onions

Yesterday was M & M Monday.  I need to rename Mondays though.  Now that my grandson eats what I make for dinner; and my son, moved a few minutes from his sister, so dinner is brought for him too, the name M & M now includes a B & G!  Hmm, maybe Meals on Wheels Monday. :)
As I was freezing tomato sauce, I was inspired to make everyone sausage sandwiches for dinner.  Our local butcher shop has amazing sweet and hot Italian sausage.  With the homemade sauce and an arm full of garden peppers I made all 3 households dinner in a snap.  I am not sure if this is a regional sandwich or common in other parts of the country.  I do know we love the savory sausage cooked low and slow in the rich tomato sauce soaked peppers and onions!

Sausage with Peppers and Onions
no need to print! easy! (ratio is given, I tripled the recipe!)

6 Italian sausage in casing
2 onions, peeled and sliced
2 Bell peppers, cleaned and sliced
1 1/2 c. Tomato Sauce
olive oil
Buns
In a heavy bottom skillet heat about 1 T. oil.  Brown the sausages on all sides.  Remove from the pan and set aside.

Add the onions and peppers.  Saute on medium heat until soft.  Add the sauce and sausages to the pan.
Cover the pan, and cook on low heat for about an hour.
Or, put all in a crockpot and cook on low for a few hours.

Serve on buns.
