Sausage, Shrimp and Sprouts

ByKristen

Quick, simple, and Paleo friendly, this easy weeknight dish is a go to in our house.

While Brussels sprouts enjoy a hallowed spot in the nightmares of childhood cartoons, they are one of my favorite vegetables. A highlight is that they are one of the few vegetables that I enjoy just as much frozen (therefore year round!).  This incredibly easy dinner is made up of ingredients that I always have stocked in the freezer. So when life happens and my planned meal just isn’t going to happen (or I forgot to turn the slow cooker on, etc), I can pull out a few simple freezer items and put together a delicious, healthy meal for my family.

Chicken Avocado Salad

Several years ago, during my husband’s second deployment, a girlfriend decided that I desperately needed a day of fun. We spent the morning wandering around Pike’s Place Market in Seattle and found a very random little bistro overlooking the waterfront for lunch. It was a pretty, sunny late summer day- the type that just calls for very fresh food. I had an absolutely delicious chicken salad sandwich that has resulted in random cravings ever since. I live far from the Seattle waterfront now but this easy, satisfying but light meal can made with ingredients that are typically already in my kitchen.
