So I have been trying to come up with some super yummy recipes to post on here but have pretty much been eating protein shakes, chicken noodle soup, and egg beaters for the past week. Not so healthy, but between the fill and having 2 cavities filled, my poor body couldnt take much more!
Tonight though, I knew I wanted to cook. I had some spinach and cheese filled tortellini in the fridge that I needed to use so I decided to create! My friend Anna had asked me to pick some stuff up at the store for her---one thing of which was polish keilbasa.... Hmmmmm I haven't had keilbasa in forever! I started searching the web and came up with the following recipe:
SUPER YUMMY and not too hard to make at all!!!
I did change it a bit. Instead of peppers (since I was out) I added fresh zuchinni instead. Then I used sundried tomato alfredo instead of plain. I know this alters the nutrition information a bit but probably not a ton!
It is super delish---even Jake is eating it! Bon apetit!
