thanks a lot google

So I had a great post today. I spent a few hours writing, editing, etc.  I finally finished and was ready to post pictures, but apparently we blogger's who use non-Google search engines are being punished, we can no longer upload pictures.  The only solution that might work is to use Chrome, by Google.  So I decided to download Chrome, because what is a blog without pictures.  Well, something happened during the downloading process, because I returned back to my blog to save my post and guess what...this wasn't the post I originally wrote today!

 

 

Nor is this one of the pictures!

dining in: spicy chicken italian sausage bolognese

One of my fave, and quick dishes for unexpected company, is my Bolognese.  It is a little different in that I use Chicken Italian Sausage instead of ground chicken or beef.  It takes a little over an hour to prepare so it is great for a last minute supper, but it tastes even better as leftovers a couple of days later.

 

Spicy Chicken Italian Sausage Bolognese

serves 2-3

 

½ T olive oil

¼ onion, chopped

1 medium carrot, finely chopped

1-2 cloves of garlic, crushed

½ # sweet or spicy chicken Italian sausage

Chili flakes, you decide how spicy you want your Bolognese

½ tsp. Italian seasoning

8 oz. tomato sauce

3 oz. tomato paste (freeze the remaining 3 oz.)

¼ C red wine

Bay leaf

S & P to taste

Fresh parsley

8 oz. pasta, shape of choice

Grated Parmesan cheese

 

Add olive oil to a warm 10-12 inch skillet.  Saute onion and carrot until onion is transparent.  Add garlic and cook for about 1 min.  Add sausage, breaking up while stirring occasionally.  Add spices, sauce, paste and wine, stir until well combined.  Add bay leaf, cover and simmer on low for one hour, stirring occasionally.

 

Cook pasta. Remove bay leaf and add parsley.  To serve, combine cooked pasta with a portion of the sauce, then top each serving with remaining sauce and Parmesan.

 

Enjoy!

love it, live it: item inspired simple n' sexy bedroom

 

I squealed with delight when I first saw the CB2 Alchemy Shiny Brass Bed; it's clean lined, retro and glam.  Following in my belief that a master bedroom should be simple and sexy with texture, this one hits on all points.  I chose a deep and rich matte paint, one that will enhance the shine of the furnishings, NOT compete.
