Long time no see! I told myself I would write one recipe blog post a week, well that got hard! I never realized just how hard it is to make up your own recipe, with pinterest-you search anything and there is something for it. So I kinda stopped looking at pinterest when I was creating meals and hoped that mine were somehow different. It was HOT in NJ yesterday and I was craving something light with veggies. I made this warm summer squash bowl, by slicing the squashes up nice and thin and cutting them in half. Then, I sauteed them in olive oil with the chicken sausages (these are from Trader Joes and are the sun dried tomato ones, soooo good). I topped this bowl off with grape tomatoes, fresh basil, goat cheese, pine nuts and a squeeze of fresh lemon. It is light, flavorful, low carb and a delicious summer meal! Oh and this took me 12 minutes to make…
