This post is long, perhaps too long, and I hope you’ll make it to the end. Trust me; it’s worth it.  I spent the past weekend in Charlotte with Quentin’s family.  My trip was not without a food adventure or two.  Pictures will come.  I promise.  In the meantime, I hope you’ll enjoy this recipe for Sausage Week. I also hope you prepare for Thanksgiving with these mini pumpkin pies. You can make them in typical pie fashion, but they’re not nearly as much fun.

Italian Sausage Paninis

These were absolutely delicious! Italian sausage, sauteed red peppers and onions, spinach, and provolone. I love food!
