Kale and Apple Sausage Pizza

This is one of those recipes passed on by a friend who got it from a friend's blog, etc. It was tasty and would be super easy to "improvise" depending on what ingredients you had in the fridge.


Kale and Apple Sausage Pizza


1 bunch kale, cleaned, coarsely chopped, and sauteed in olive oil
2 chicken and apple sausages, cut into thin rings
1/4 C chopped walnuts (or pecans...that's what I used, because that's what I had!)
2 C grated gouda
1 package pizza crust (I just use Trader Joe's, it's so convenient, and good...)

Preheat oven to 425. Roll out dough as thin as possible. Top with all other ingredients, and bake for 18 minutes.

Asian Beef Kabobs

When trying to figure out what to do with a tri-tip roast for our Memorial Day BBQ yesterday, I found this random recipe on the back of the label of the roast. It turned out great and it's ridiculously easy.

Asian Beef Kabobs

2 lbs. beef roast, cut into cubes
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup dry sherry
2 tsp. sesame oil
4 tsp. brown sugar
green onions

Mix everything together in a bowl and let sit for at least 4 hours. Slid onto skewers, interspersing green onion between the beef cubes. Grill 4 minutes on each side.
