\"Red<\/a>
\nAnother new twist on an old favorite around our house this version of Red Beans and Rice uses brown rice for a high fiber kick and in place of the traditional smoked sausage I used turkey sausage diced and whole pieces of organic chicken sausage. Both the brown rice and the sausage replacements make this dish higher in fiber and lower in saturated fat, and these two factors that do not compromise flavor, but enhance a well balanced meal. Served with fresh cornbread muffins and some creamed spinach on the side, this meal was a hit with our guests on Saturday evening dinner this past weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n
