We were supposed to be having tofu bowls tonight but our avocado did not ripen fast enough. So I cast about the kitchen trying to devise a new dinner plan when John suggested turkey sausage. I had bought a couple of cans of sauerkraut and we always have beans on hand so it seemed like a plan.

Since it was getting hot in the house we cooked the sauerkraut and the sausage in the microwave. I cooked the beans in a small pot on the stovetop and mixed in a can of Rotel for some spice and cumin for that Southwest kind of flavor.

I dolled up my can of sauerkraut with onion and garlic powder, some chicken stock, a dash of sugar, and half of an apple cut into small chunks.

This might not have been the most glamorous dinner but it was quick and easy and tasted good besides.

The tofu bowl will make an appearance on Monday.
