Tip Of The Day! Par Boil Sausage For Meat Sauce

Here is a great healthy change for your meat sauces. I par boil my Italian sausage long enough to cook out the fat.   I then strain, rinse off the fat and continue with my recipe as usual. 

Whether it be mild or spicy sausage it still gives your recipes plenty of flavor without all the fat!

Enjoy ;)

Herbed Goat Cheese Appitizer

I made these "amazing" Herbed Goat Cheese balls for a gals night out shopping party.  They were a huge hit and didn't last long on the table.

You will need:

A log of goat cheese chilled well

Fresh chopped herbs (parsley, chives, thyme, basil, dill, mint) 

Smoked paprika - (pour in a thin line on a board and roll the ball down the line)

1/2 cup olive oil

One teaspoon red hot pepper flakes

It's so easy.  I cut my goat cheese log into one inch pieces. 

Roll the cheese in your palms into a ball. Roll the balls into prepared chopped up "fresh herbs" place on a cookie sheet and chill until needed.

I slightly warmed 1/2 cup olive oil and added a heaping teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Let it sit for a couple hours. Stir every so often.  

When your ready to serve pour the oil mixture onto the serving dish. Insert a tooth pick into the cheese ball and place in the oil like shown.  The oil gives it a finished touch and will not disappoint!

Enjoy 😄
