Sausage, Peppers & Onions

Sausage, peppers and onions. It’s genius. Those Italians were really onto something with this. It reminds me of every holiday at my mom and dad’s…it’s pretty much a staple. I added mushrooms because they sop up lots of sauce and flavor…and mushrooms just make everything much better.

Paleolicious Ingredients:

1 lb sweet Italian pork sausage (or whatever you prefer)

2 red peppers, sliced

2 yellow peppers, sliced

2 onions, sliced

4 cloves of garlic, chopped

1 (10oz) container of baby bella mushrooms, sliced

1 (15oz) can diced tomatoes

½ c chicken broth

¼ c extra virgin olive oil

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 tsp salt

1 tsp ground black pepper

1 tsp dried basil

½ red pepper flakes (optional)

——————————————————————-

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until brown on both sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the sausages from the pan. 

Add the onions, peppers, mushrooms, salt and pepper to the oil and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes. While the veggies are sautéing, slice the sausage into 1 inch cubes and set aside. Add the garlic and basil and cook another 5 minutes.

Next, stir in the tomato paste. Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth and red pepper flakes and let simmer. Stir in the cubed sausages and let sit on low-medium heat for about 30 minutes, until the sauce reduces and thickens a bit.

*My sausages weren’t cooked all the way through, so I did cook them a little more in a separate pan for a couple extra minutes before adding them to the mix*

If you’re not paleo, these would make a scrumptious sandwich on an Italian roll. But since we are paleo, we won’t do that…we will enjoy it straight from a bowl. And if we really want to act like cavemen (and cave-ladies) just use your hands. I’m kidding…please don’t do that.

Wolf 359 went. What if a man and a woman annoyed each other very much. And then there was never any romantic tension between them and she is already happily married and they develop a strong platonic bond

Pretty good tbh

What if Jon found out about Georgie and Melanie a really horrible way?

I lied, I don’t like sex. Put your clothes back on, we’re listening to Midnight Burger.

Somewhere between (งಠ_ಠ)ง and  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  every day.

getting inspired to create stuff is honestly the meaning of life. like i found a great story and now i wanna make a cool story too. literally could there be any better feeling

I walked into a lab one time, feeling like I was on deaths door, and the TA took one look at me said “As long as that’s not a hangover, I’ll cover for you.”

I said “Believe me I WISH this was a hangover” he marked me present and I immediately went home and slept for 2 days.

Hey students, here’s a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while you’re seriously sick.

Signed, a person who somehow came up with “dear hello, I am sick and not sure if I’ll be alive to come tomorrow and I’m sorry, best slutantions, [name]”.

Silt verses season 3, episode 10: Terrible no good corporate brainstorming session (with specific mention of pinning ideas to a "wall of illumination")

This is becoming a pattern… is this a cry for help?

*leans into mic* yes, it is

In the centuries to come, future archaeologists will be bemused by a crude form of false democracy in which a group of workers were ordered to write as many ill-conceived ideas on a wall as possible in the belief that this was a form of strategy, when in fact it was merely giving them a sense of participation in the organisational changes that would be inflicted upon them.

I love that they respect and trust each other wholeheartedly

Since I'm already spamming my followers with midnight burger id like to say

I love Zebulon and Effie Mucklewain

I love that they are so passionate

I love that they are full of quips

I love Effie's mean streak

I love how they performed an illegal (interracial, 1920s arkansas) marriage ceremony because they felt that it was between two good people who loved and supported each other

I love that they were appalled knowing how long it took for that law to change

I love their disguises for the planets/times earth side when being two Jesus lovers from Arkansas just isn't the vibe

I love that they exist in technology

I love that they are the hot ones

I love that Zebulon's test of friend or foe is finding out if his pig best friend is waiting for him or not

I love Effie saying "Divorce is a Sin" as a reason for their marriage lasting so long and Zebulon saying "and because we love each other?" "Yes also that"

I love the mucklewains
