Cheesy Potato Sausage Soup - Instant Pot or Stove-top

Cheesy Potato Sausage Soup – Instant Pot or Stove-top

Oh, but I do love me some soup. Especially in the fall. And since I had some sausage left after making Smoked Sausage and White Bean Soup in the Instant Pot the other day, I thought I’d make more soup, but take it in another direction. I could hardly think of a better use for that sausage than Cheesy Potato Sausage Soup – Instant Pot or Stove-top.

Easy Sausage Sheet Tray Bake

Fall has caught up with us with a fury this October. We’ve finally had our first real frost. And with it, a flurry of activity. Some herbs were potted and brought in and as many green tomatoes as we deemed prudent picked and placed in bags in the garage where they’ll slowly ripen. And with all that going on, I thought an easy meal, like this Easy Sausage Sheet Tray Bake, was in order.

Apple Braised Green Cabbage

Apple Braised Green Cabbage

Apple Braised Green Cabbage is really a fun side dish and so good from fall through winter. Well, it’s good anytime, but for some reason I always associate it more with the colder months, with hearty meals. That makes sense because cabbage, since it keeps so well, is one of the things that probably kept many of our Midwestern ancestors, so many of German descent, going through the long, cold winter months.
