GF Chicken Sausages and Sweet Potatoes, Recipes

A quick and easy dinner!

When we were visiting our daughter and family in Indiana, she served us grilled chicken sausages. I couldn't imagine sausage of any kind sitting well in my stomach, and I questioned her on it. She  said they were gluten free and didn't have any poisonous additives and preservatives. Nevertheless, I proceeded cautiously. To my delight, they tasted great and I didn't get a headache or any of the other nasty symptoms that come from poison in my food.

The brand is Alfresco.

I just signed up for the Alfresco newsletter in order to get free coupons. Info on the newsletter is in their FAQ section.

The sausages pictured in the first photo are actually ones we had for dinner the other night. I didn't want to take time to get the grill ready*, so I sliced them in half and pan fried them in a little olive oil.

The Sweet Potato and Yukon Gold Fries were simply sliced thin, then tossed in a ziploc baggie with a little olive oil and spread out on a jellyroll pan. I sprinkled the minutest amount of brown sugar on them, and then sea salt and pepper, then baked in a 450 degree oven until tender but crispy on one side. I've done this before without the brown sugar and liked it better then. The brown sugar idea was from The Barefoot Contessa. She's got a ton of good ideas, but I didn't think this was one of them.

The salad was a combination of cherry and regular garden tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh oregano, and fresh zucchini, pared and cubed, (oops, I guess that was the next night!) then tossed with a tiny bit of olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt.

I loved this dinner and would be happy to make it a regular!

*As good as these were pan fried, they taste way better on the charcoal grill.

P.S. Update: I scheduled this more than a week ago. The boys go home today. It has been a sweet and fun (albeit a bit exhausting) time with them. I will miss the funny things the 5 year old says, the sweet hugs and kisses from the 2 year old, and the knowledge that the 8 year old is perfectly capable of ruling the world, or at least a John Deere dealership. 

Bridger and Misty will spend the next two days sleeping.
