Hello Everyone,

Tonight's supper will be a very simple one. As I was walking through Publix, Marie, the lady who is always cooking something yummy in the meat department, was grilling Johnsonville Irish Garlic Sausage. Oh it was delicious!! So tonight I will be making Sausages with Onion and Peppers and serving them in Pepperidge Farm Hot Dog Buns!! Along with that I will serve a nice antipasta salad. And there still some of that awesome Coconut Layer Cake to enjoy with a nice cup of coffee!!

I will be gone for a week up to the mountains. I am sure I will come back with some good stories and recipes for you all!!

Here are the recipes:
