Sixteen Healthy Dinners to Make with Chicken Sausage

Sixteen healthy dinners featuring chicken sausage that make any weeknight meal a breeze! Do you have a favorite ingredient? Like one you always have in your house and reach for any time you can't figure out what to make. For me, that magical ingredient is chicken sausage. I am seriously addicted to it. It cooks up in no time, only has between 120-180 calories per link (3-5 SmartPoints), and comes in so many different flavor combinations there is one that works with pretty much any meal. I love using it in pasta dishes, soups, stir-fries, and more. What's your favorite way to use chicken sausage? The other thing I love about chicken sausage is its ability to add flavor to virtually any recipe. Chicken sausage comes with its own built-in spice blend. Whether you choose a spicy variety, sweet variety, or one that's flavored with things like spinach, feta, jalapenos, or apples - you are bringing all that flavor to whatever recipe you prepare. That makes recipe prep quick a

Grilled Avocados

If you aren't eating grilled avocados, trust me, it's time to start. The addition of that slightly smoky, grilled touch takes what already is an amazing fruit and makes it even more delicious. Served on its own, in salads, on grilled meats, or in tacos  - grilling avocados will become part of your barbecue routine.  Lately, I have been all about cooking unexpected fruits and veggies on the grill from these easy grilled apples to my favorite grilled cabbage . This week, I am taking things a step further and decided to throw some avocados on the grill and the result couldn't be more delicious.  The first night we made these grilled avocados, I place them in some grilled corn tortillas with black beans, salsa, and cheese. It was such an easy and filling vegetarian meal. Then the next night, since we liked them so much, I turned them into a simple summer salad with some chopped tomatoes, cucumber, corn, and the smoky avocados. Amazing.  How to Grill Avocados?
