The tender pork provides a smoky flavor with juiciness. The addition of a fig preserve provides a sweet, berry flavor with the likeness of a Fig Newton. The combination of the meat and fig preserve may be unexpected, but they pair well together. The pineapple provides a tropical twist to this dish, and the banana peppers add a tang that pairs well with the creaminess of the coleslaw.
Tomato Soup with Italian Sausage and Crunchy Carrots

Tomato soup is a classic soup that provides a warmth of goodness. The soup container that we used notes that it contains flavors of garlic and onion to add depth to the soup. The carrots add a little bit of crunchiness to the soup. If you prefer softer carrots, warm the soup with the carrots for additional time until they soften. We used an Italian sausage that we had left over from the dish with Italian sausages, sauerkraut, and stuffed bell peppers with couscous. This is a good option to use if you need an idea for how to use leftover sausages, or even for non-leftover sausages. This dish can also exclude the sausage to have a meatless meal.

This dish brings together different flavors and textures, with a combination of vegetables, rice, and chickpeas. The garlic, rosemary, and rice seasoning pair so well together, and provide a flavorful soup that will leave your tastebuds happy, and everyone asking for more. The lingering delightful aromatics will make mouths water, and noses happy. The chickpeas make a great protein-packed addition to this soup.
Steak and Cheese Sub with Roasted Red Bell Peppers and Aioli with Pickled Cucumber Tomato and Red Onion Salad

This dish smells so good while cooking! The addition of the roasted red peppers and roasted garlic aioli blended so well together with this dish, especially on the toasted roll. For an extra crunch, add onions to the sub with the roasted red peppers. Also, add additional water to the cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion mixture, if the vinegar is too strong.
Italian Sausage and Bell Peppers Stuffed with Couscous and Veggies

This dish gives a different take on a stuffed bell pepper. The stuffing includes couscous and vegetables, instead of ground beef and rice. It reminds us of summer, but can be eaten any time of the year. The Italian sausages have a grilled flavor, with hints of fennel and a smell that reminds us of grilling out during the summer, or sitting in front of a campfire, and enjoying the day. This dish provides a flavorful blend of herbs and spices.
