Why use Chicken Sausages to make this skillet dinner?
If you’ve never tried chicken sausages, they are way less calories and fat than the pork version. Amy Lu Foods is my favorite (look for it near the bacon, lunch meat at your local store) or check out this store finder!

Tips for quick and easy weeknight dinners!
I used to try to make everything homemade for dinners. But working full time – and having 3 kids – when they were growing up that was impossible. Adding these to my freezer/pantry has helped a lot:
- Frozen diced onions – super cheap and they last in your freezer forever. I add them to stir fry’s, eggs, soups, stews.
- Frozen brown rice – add cilantro and lime juice for copycat Chipotle lime rice.
- Frozen chicken tenders – MY FAVORITE IS JUST BARE brand – sorry for shouting – but there are so many shitty frozen tenders out there – LOL.
- Microwave rice – look for it in the rice aisle. Single serve cups or pouches of rice you just have to microwave in 90 seconds.
- Crushed tomatoes. I make an easy marinara, adding oregano, salt, pepper, garlic and diced onion to serve over pasta- another quick dinner idea.
- Canned soups. So many good ones now on the shelf – my favorite brand is Amy’s.
