Polska Kielbasa

Need:

  • 1 package Hillshire Farm Light Polska Kielbasa
  • 1 1/2 cups carrots
  • 1 small to medium sized onion
  • 1 1/2 cups celery
  • About 1/8 to 1/4 cup of soy sauce
  • 1 cup broccali
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 or 2 baby bok choy or 1/4 to 1/2 cabbage

Cut Kielbasa into bite sized pieces and add to a large sauce pan over medium to medium high heat. Stir occasionaly until it starts to brown. then remove from pan and set aside.

While Kielbasa is cooking chop remaining veggies into bite sized pieces and mince garlic. After Kielbasa is removed from pan, add garlic, onions, carrots, celery, salt, pepper and soy sauce. Stir every min or two. Then after several min of cooking add the broccali and bok choy. Cook to desired tenderness, then add the kielbasa back into the pan and serve!

This is great by as is or over rice! Feel free to add your own favorite stir-fry veggies and make it your own! I prefer to use the light Kielbasa so the meal doesnt sit heavy afterwards. My kids will actualy eat all the meat before the veggies which is a miracle in this house ;-)

My new fav veggies and chimi's

I love cookbooks and getting ideas to put my own twist on. Sadly I lost all of mine during one of our many moves. I picked up the Pillsbury Cassic  Cookbook #344 Thanksgiving. They are the ones by the checkout lanes with all the magazines. Anyway, it has GREAT ideas in it. All the classic thanksgiving side dishes I grew up with are heavy on the dairy, though yummy, I want to have side dishes for my kids to grow up on that they ALL can eat. I don't want a holiday to make Aubree feel left out. Holidays are about bring a family closer not making one child feel left out. So I tried this one recipie and it was a huge hit! With the adults and kids! I just added some squash and zuccani from my garden and subbed extra virgin olive oil for the butter! I have scanned and attached the recipie.
Also pictured is the Chimmichangas I made. I use Nalley Brand original chilli. I start by putting a little olive oil in a pan and saute up some garlic, celery and onion. Then I add the chilli, some corn, a dash of salt and celery salt and some Sweet Baby Ray's Brand BBQ sauce. While this is going get a pan of vegitable oil heating up about 1/2 inch deep. Heat up Mission brand tortillas in the micorwave about 30 sec. for 3 at a time. Then place the chilli mix in the middle of the tortilla and fold two sides in then the other two so the chilli is all contained in the center. Once the oil is hot enough place the folded side down and cook till golden brown, then flip over and cook the top side till golden brown. Remove from pan and place on paper towels to drain. Serve with fresh chopped tomatoes, lettuce, salsa and whatever else you think sounds good!
