sausage

When the weekend rolls in, I used to be a little conflicted with wanting to stock up my fridge with fresh ingredients and using up whatever is left in my fridge. I can be quite challenging at times especially when there are changes in plans which can result in a fridge with more or fewer scraps and pieces of produce to work with. 

Slowly, I grew to like ‘clear out weekends’. It allowed me to think on my feet and be creative with leftovers in my fridge. The purge and emptied fridge make the stocking up experience all the more enjoyable. Oh, the little things in life that make me so happy.

While I was digging through my fridge over a weekend, a popular video recipe that I saw on FB immediately came to mind. Inspired by that, I made my version of Shrimp and Sausage Cajun Skillet. This recipe is extremely easy to put together, takes no time at all to cook, and works well with whatever vegetables you have in your fridge. Swap out the sausages for chicken, I’m sure it’ll turn out great too!
