Sausage for the Pseudo-Vegetarians

I didn't know if there was a word for the people who eschew red meat, but will eat most poultry and fish, so I made one up...Pseudo-Vegetarians. My friend Amy is a Pseudo-Vegetarian, so sometimes when I'm ready to e-mail her a GREAT recipe, I suddenly remember...she won't love it because it's got red meat in it.

My neighborhood friends have been tutoring me on how to shop the grocery store sales. I'm getting it...kinda. Like I saw that mahi mahi was on sale for $5.99 per pound, my family likes it and that's a pretty good deal, so I was off to the fish counter at Harris Teeter. Then I noticed that the scallops looked AMAZING. So I'm chatting with the fish guy and he says, "Oh yeah, those just came in this morning. They've never been frozen." Next thing you know I've got a half pound of scallops (approximately 9) for close to $10. So, sometimes I don't get it.

While I was standing there, I noticed some weirdly flavored sausage. I mean like blueberry and cherry. Yuck...I just don't like to combine fruit with meat. Then I noticed this:

It's Aidells fully cooked Portobello Mushroom smoked CHICKEN and TURKEY Sausage. The fish guy, who I think is personally responsible for the huge profits in the seafood area, saw my looking at it and said, "Now THAT is just about the best stuff ever!"

I just had one with an omelette for dinner (alone on a Saturday night) and he was right. Yum!!!!

Tofurky Italian Sausage is my fav - of course its mock sausage but even my Dad claims it tastes real in lasagne and soups.

I bought this today - the recipe for soup on the label sold me on it....add mushrooms, broth, and cream, I think. YUMMMMM
