New recipe!

I subscribe to a daily recipe newsletter from www.allrecipes.com, and any that are 4+ stars and sound good to me, I save and try. (I really recommend you do this...it's give me some great ideas and recipes to add to my collection...and you can just delete the e-mail if you're not in the mood to read it...me? I'm always up for some good food!)

My goal is to make at least 1 new recipe each week. So far, so good! The recipe I made last night has been my favorite by far! Now, I know the name of it sounds gross, but give it a try if you like kielbasa and fried potatoes...it's wonderful! I starved myself all day in anticipation of the major calories I would take in with this, and it was SOOOOOO worth it! (Had I known you can buy turkey kielbasa, I wouldn't have starved myself because all the other ingredients are pretty healthy...next time...) Even my super-picky-will-only-eat-chicken-fingers-corndogs-and-pizza husband loved it! You have no idea how excited that makes me.

Here's the link to the original recipe http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Day-Before-Payday-Kielbasa-and-Corn-Hash/Detail.aspx It makes 6 servings, so there's plenty for me to freeze and reheat later...yay!

"Day Before Payday" Kielbasa and Corn Hash

3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
4 large red potatoes, diced (the smaller the better!)
1 pound kielbasa sausage, diced (make sure they are bite size pieces or smaller)
1 (16 ounce) package frozen pepper and onion stir-fry blend (or you can use fresh pepper/onion)
1 (11 ounce) can whole kernel corn
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt and black pepper to taste
6 eggs (optional)

Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the potatoes and kielbasa, and cook until the kielbasa is browned, and the potatoes are nearly tender, about 10 minutes. (I cooked it almost 15 until the potatoes and kielbasa were nice and brown.) Add the frozen pepper mix and corn; season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot and the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes more (I cooked it almost 15 minutes more until the onions were soft and starting to get carmelized).

Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, crack in the eggs, and cook to your desired degree of doneness, about 1 1/2 minutes per side for over-medium. Portion the kielbasa hash into 6 servings, and top each serving with a fried egg.

*I had mine with the egg and it was great! Josh did not want an egg on his, and he was very pleased with the recipe too. Next time I'll definitely use turkey kielbasa so I won't have to feel so guilty about eating so many calories....it was totally worth it though! It was my reward after doing plyometrics last night. Plyo is BY FAR my most hated workout of the week.

In other news, we're on day 17 of P90x and still going strong! We'll re-measure everything at the end of week 4, so I'm anxious to see what's changed. I definitely feel stronger though! (and I can tell I'm burning a ton of calories, because I'm much more hungry than I normally am! Keeping my calorie intake at a decent level has been the hardest part so far!)
