About two weeks ago, I posted a little video on Instagram of lunch being made. I fixed a Turkey Sloppy Joe that day. It’s such a great midday meal! I found this healthy and hearty Sloppy Joe recipe on the Weight Watchers site. It makes a lot, so I know I have many servings ready! This is great for fixing for a group, or just your family’s weekly lunchtime. Don’t let “Weight Watchers” make you leery! This is simply lower in calories because it’s made with ground turkey. The flavors are incredible!

Catfish Po’boy Sandwich and An Old Fashioned Dessert
The meal I’m sharing today reminds me of childhood, only we’re going to take something simple and make it a little more special!
I love fish, but I especially love a fish sandwich! I recently tried a Cooking Light recipe for Catfish Po’boy with Hoisin-Peanut Sauce. It was as amazing as it sounds! I used frozen catfish filets and we grilled them. That alone added a great flavor to the fish, and of course it cooked up in no time. This peanut sauce takes it up a whole new notch, adding great flavors to the sandwich!

“What are some of your favorite things to purchase at Sam’s Club?” I asked a friend.
“I love their chicken sausages! They make such a great supper meal!”
So upon her recommendation, I purchased some and they were good, but just “meh.” But then I realized that they would be fantastic on a bun in the place of a regular hot dog. After searching, I found this recipe for adding a sweet and savory pineapple relish on top of that sausage, and it bumped it up to be the tastiest “Hot Dog” ever!
One great thing about these sausages (you can get them at any grocery store, not just Sam’s) is that most are already cooked, so you’re basically warming them up. We chose to throw them on the grill to add that smokey flavor. Good idea! Then, I also sprayed the buns with cooking spray and warmed them on the grill before placing that hot chicken sausage inside and topping it with the delicious relish. Oh my! What a yummy meal and also so much healthier than the pork version.
Chicken Sausages with Pineapple Salsa
Keep in mind you can leave out any ingredient you don’t love!
- 4 chicken sausages (or vegetarian sausage)
- 1 cup pineapple
- 1/2 cup red pepper, diced
- 1/2 jalapeno, diced
- 1/8 cup onion, diced
- 1/8 cup cilantro, diced
- 1/4 tsp. cumin
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1 lime, juice
Instructions:
Stir together the pineapple, red pepper, jalapeno, onion, cilantro, cumin, salt, pepper, and lime juice.2
Grill the sausages according to package directions, about 6-8 minutes for pre-cooked chicken sausages.
Spray buns with cooking spray and place sprayed side down on grill. Cook until lightly browned and warm.
Place sausage in buns and top with Pineapple relish.
If you’re hungry for a delicious summer meal, I encourage you to jump on the Chicken sausage bandwagon and give them a try inside a toasty bun and smothered with this relish! You’ll be saying,
Move over, hot dog, you’ve got some stiff competition!!
Two questions:
Have you ever tried chicken sausages?
What’s your favorite thing to buy at Sam’s or Costco?

Make One Sandwich – Feed the Whole Family
Do you remember Dagwood and his infamous sandwiches?
They were stacked a mile high and secured with a toothpick. Ever since his infamous concoctions, Americans have packed bread with all kinds of meats and cheeses in similar fashion.
Another sandwich closely linked to it is the Sub Sandwich. Instead of being piled high, it’s stuffed into a long loaf of bread. One long loaf easily feeds a family!
Last night at church we had a sandwich fellowship time and I decided to make a sub sandwich, inspired by an old Kraft Cookbook of mine. I am calling mine the Grand Slam Sub Sandwich in honor of it being summer, and also a real “hit” as a crowd pleaser! Continue reading “Make One Sandwich – Feed the Whole Family”
Reuben Sandwiches Done Light(er)
I love a good Reuben Sandwich at a restaurant, but I’ve seldom ever made one at home. First, the Corned Beef is expensive at the grocery store. Second, the calories are even higher! But when a generous man at our church shared his homemade sauerkraut with us (again!) I kept thinking about how good a Reuben Sandwich would taste using that freshly made kraut!
