Healthier Version of Sausage and Peppers


If you're like me, you've tried, and loved, an occasional Sausage and Peppers.  That classic Italian delight sold at the local pizza place, homemade, or of course, at a summer street fair in New York City.


But now, as I'm older and more health-wise, I tend to pass on Sausage and Peppers made the traditional way...grilled or fried pork sausage, smothered with onions and peppers that have been fried, and stuffed into Italian bread.

So, I came up with this healthier version, and believe me, it tastes Yumm-O!

I came across Thin & Trim brand, All-Natural Chicken Sausage at the market!  I purchased the Italian style, put a touch of olive oil on them, and roasted them in the oven!

I made the peppers (red bell peppers) and onions by simply sauteing them in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil.  And, yes, there is a difference between sauteing and frying!

Sauteing is healthier!

Lastly, instead of Italian bread, I used a whole wheat wrap that I crisped-up stove top.

I hope you give this healthier version of Italian Sausage and Peppers a try!

If you've made a healthier version of your favorite food and want me to post it here, just drop me an e-mail!  

Ciao for now, Gina D.
