Sausage and Vegetable Skillet is a hearty and comforting meal, that leaves you completely satisfied and not at all weighted down. If you're vegetarian, you can omit the sausage or sub with tempeh.
My favorite part about this meal is the OKRA! I can't believe it took me this many years to figure out I love okra. I was always afraid of the idea of it, but once I tried the fried version I was hooked.
I knew I needed to find a healthier way to prepare it, and this meal is just the place. I was hoping to find fresh okra but my local grocery stores didn't have any in good condition, so I opted for frozen.
Did y'all know that okra contains potassium, vitamin B, vitamin C, folic acid, and calcium!?!? It's also low in calories and has high fiber content! That being said, it's definitely on my list of foods to eat more of to reverse/prevent osteoporosis.
