I have to admit that I love creating dishes! Now, that didn’t use to be the case, because I wasn’t always so confident experimenting while cooking. Of course, that really isn’t a surprise because, for most of my adult life, I didn’t do much cooking. I suspect this is true for a lot of single adults still. I relied mostly on frozen dinners and takeout for my meals. It was all primarily convenience food. I actually started cooking more during my marriage after I discovered real food and how healing and tasty it could be. But now that I’m single again, I didn’t want to lose that connection with real food….and I am proof that you can downsize recipes and enjoy cooking for one!

This spinach sausage pasta was a dish that ended up being a happy surprise. I love purchasing my meat from local farmers who raise beef, turkey, chicken, and pork naturally. Recently I purchased some chicken Italian sausage but was looking for a creative way to use it. I really just threw a few things together and this dish was the result. It was so incredibly tasty that I was shocked!

It’s also very easy to make, which is always a plus! With the use of brown rice pasta, this dish is gluten-free!
