One of my favorite things to do is find and serve healthy, satisfying, family-friendly recipes.  I really enjoy cooking, and as my family “yums” over bites, I love knowing that what they’re eating will nourish their bodies well.  At just 281 calories per serving, this meal definitely fits in with our goal for healthy living.

Since one of my goals this year is to add more content to this blog, I thought I’d share some of our favorite recipes each week.

This meal slow-cooked all day today and made our mouths water.  It smelled so good, and the flavor did not disappoint!  And one reason I really like it is that it would be equally delicious for breakfast.  Start it while you’re cooking supper and let it slow cook overnight…yum!

Potato, Sausage, and Egg Supper (Or Breakfast!)

1 1/2 pounds yellow, gold, or red potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes

12 oz. chicken sausage, sliced

1 onion, chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup shredded, reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Spray a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil with cooking spray.  Combine sausage, potatoes, onion, and peppers and place on foil sheet.  Drizzle with chicken broth, sprinkle with thyme and pepper.  Cover with another sheet of aluminum foil, folding edges of both sheets together to make a large foil packet.

Place the foil packet in the slow cooker.  Cook on low for 10 hours.  Pan fry eggs in a skillet coated only with cooking spray.  Place 1 cup of the sausage-vegetable mixture on each plate, top with an egg and 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese.

Each serving: 281 calories, 23g carbohydrates (for all the other diabetics out there :))

Our whole family enjoyed this.  I hope you will too!
