Chicken Sausage Breakfast Bowls plus Giveaway
I adore my kids. They are the cutest little kiddos ever but they have the strangest eating habits. Thankfully they eat good food most of the time. Sometimes I make them something and they push it away, while other times I make them something and they devour it. They love salads. Tyler can consume two or three bowls of salad in one sitting. Granted they are not huge bowls, but the kid loves a bowl of salad. The other thing that tops their list, chicken sausage. These kids don’t eat much meat. They won’t eat chicken tenders and things like that but they love chicken sausage. Good thing is, so do I.
My favorite is al fresco all natural chicken sausage. I have been a fan of their products for quite some time and love their wide variety of chicken products available including fully cooked dinner sausages, fully cooked breakfast sausages and even chicken burgers, chicken meatballs, and franks. This is one of my staple items that I always have on hand. They are delicious and my kids couldn’t agree more.
I like to use it in a variety of meals. Usually the kids like them just cut up on their plates while Mr. Mother Thyme and I like to incorporate them into our meals. On the weekends when Mr. Mother Thyme is home, I like to make him a nice, hearty breakfast. A breakfast bowl is one our favorites that has fresh scrambled eggs with just a little cheese, onions, and al fresco Sweet Apple breakfast sausage. I top off these bowls with a lightened up Chicken Sausage gravy which makes this breakfast healthier and filling. Serve it with some fresh biscuits on the side, although I think the bowl itself is just enough.
