Nice 'n' Easy Dinner

Tuesday night we had the EASIEST "nice" dinner (that we've cooked) in a while! First, I should define "nice." In our situation, "nice" means a meat and sides not all combined in one dish. It was easy because it hardly required any work to cook it. We also ate the freshed salad either of us have ever had! We picked some lettuce (about 5 different types!) straight from the garden in our backyard. After my experience with caterpillars, I was very carefully to wash the leaves carefully - we have no need for extra protein!

We ate the hand-picked salad with bread and spinach dip from HEB (they have the yummiest spinach dip, but it's a little pricey so it's only for special treats). We also had Betty Crocker Au Gratin Three Cheese Potatoes and Emeril's Chicken and Apple Sausage (heated on the grill). They had samples of this sausage at Sam's, and it's amazing! Instead of a strong pepper taste, it has a more savory blend of spices. It only has chicken (for meat), so it's fat content is nothing compared to regular or beef sausage. Mmmm, so yummy. I was so excited about our rare "nice" meal on a busy weeknight, I took pictures.
