Skillet Mushrooms, Kale & Sausage

Simple way to use up leftovers or random veggies!

Ingredients:

• Butter, Ghee or coconut oil
• 1 onion, sliced
• 6-12 oz mushrooms, sliced
• about 6 oz kale, cleaned and chopped (more or less)
• 1 tsp favorite spice blend (I used Frontier Vegetable Blend plus a little paprika)
• Italian Sausage sliced or bulk sausage out of the casing (I used Organic Chicken Sausage from Costco!)
• Any leftover roasted veggies, potatoes, ect

Directions:

• Melt fat in a skillet 
• Saute onions and mushrooms as long as you like... they get more delicious with time
• Add spices, cook for 2 minutes
• Add kale and stir together. Meanwhile, brown sausage in a separate skillet (or fry an egg to go on top)
• Stir in any leftover veggies that you need to use up and continue to cook till everything is warm.
• Add sausage (or top with a fried egg)

Enjoy!
