Homemade Pork Sausage

By -
1 pound ground pork
2 teaspoons rubbed sage (or 1 tsp. Ground sage)
3/4 tsp. Salt
3/4 tsp. Pepper
1/4 tsp. Cayenne pepper
(can add 1/4 tsp garlic powder and1 tsp. Oregano to make it more like an Italian sausage)

Combine all ingredients and shape into patties. Or, you can use a jerky gun to make sausage links. Fry in skillet, grill, or griddle. This tastes great and by making it yourself you don't get all the preservatives, nitrates, sugar, etc. that they put in pre-made sausage.

Easy Chicken Alfredo

8 oz. light cream cheese 1 3/4 cup milk 1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese 2 cloves garlic (minced) 1 tsp. salt 3/4 tsp. pepper 3 Tbsp. dry parsley or 1/2 c. fresh grilled chicken cut into strips Put cream cheese, milk, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt and pepper in a blender. Blend until no clumps. Pour into a saucepan on medium heat. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add parsley and grilled chicken strips and stir. Serve over your favorite cooked noodles. I prefer whole grain fettuccine . This is a lighter Alfredo sauce than most made with butter and cream. This sauce does thicken as it cools and you may need to add more milk when re-heating.

Vital Wheat Gluten (helps stop crumbling, makes a lighter loaf) 1 1/2 Tbsp Real Salt or Sea Salt Add water, honey, yeast, oil and 5 cups of flour. Turn on your kitchen machine, then add the vital-wheat gluten, remaining flour (until dough cleans sides of bowl),dough enhancer and salt. While the mixer is still running, push the auto-knead button if you have one, otherwise let it knead on a medium speed for 3-4 minutes. Remove dough from bowl, form loaves, let raise for 25 minutes, then bake for 30 minutes at 350. I usually get 5 loaves from this recipe. I also pat the top of the loaves after I form them before putting them in the pan to help get rid of air bubbles. I also spread a little oil or spray non-stick cooking spray on the tops of the loaves to...
