Ingredients:

Spicy Italian sausage (one per person)

One 7 oz. jar sliced, sweet red pepper hulls

One 8 oz. can of tomato paste

Heat a large skillet or frying pan. Add sausages and cover halfway with water. Cook over medium heat until sausages are halfway cooked (15-20 minutes). During the process, prick the sausage with a fork to release the juices from the sausage.

While cooking sausages, place sweet peppers in a colander and rinse off the water. Add the peppers and tomato paste to the sausages. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens.

Cut sausages into 2-inch pieces, making sure that they are cooked all the way through.

Enjoy!

It’s Our 21st Year Anniversary & Thanksgiving Day

Yesterday my husband brought home an amazing floral arrangement for our anniversary. He’s my best friend, husband, and caregiver. He has spent most of our marriage taking care of me. I can’t thank him enough!

I married a man who believes in sickness and health!

He has Skin Cancer, has 3 inches of stitches, and is on light duty. It will be the first Thanksgiving he doesn’t put up the tree. It’s been a great day for him while he watches football.

Our Story

When Mariska Hargitay started playing Olivia Benson on Law & Order: Special Victims’ Unit, the content of the scripts, as well as the work she did to prepare for the role, opened her eyes to the staggering statistics about sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse in the United States. She received hundreds, then thousands of letters and emails from survivors disclosing their stories of abuse, many for the first time. She wanted to answer—really answer—those letters, to address the suffering they described, and honor acts of courage they represented. 

Her response was to create the Joyful Heart Foundation.
