This week there are two recipes, mainly because I haven’t decided what I’m going to do yet (when I’m writing this) which also means there won’t be a picture yet either.

Also, for one recipe regular beef sausage can be exchanged for the farmer sausage. And for those that don’t know what farmer sausage is, I pity you. It’s a rough ground, smoked sausage. If you’re lucky (like we are usually) you can find the locally produced, properly smoked and seasoned sausage that isn’t full of filler and preservative.

If you’re unlucky, you’ll find the really crappy mass-produced stuff full of nitrates and fake flavor to mask the filler and pink slime.

Yummy, I mentioned pink slime. Sorry about that. I tend to go off sometimes…

Anyway, here we go with two of our favorites!
