This was super yummy and the perfect weeknight meal. I love coming home at lunch and throwing something in the Crockpot. I also loved the idea of combining chicken and sausage, it gave the meal and wonderful flavor! We used green bell peppers but next time I am going to splurge for multi-colored. I had to take a picture of the left overs as the Mr. was eating because we ate dinner so fast!

Asian Beef & Asparagus Salad

I love Asian style food but it's hard to cook at home since we try to avoid rice and sugar! I splurged a little on this recipe because it has brown sugar but not too much. You could even use less or probably use honey instead. Instead of using rice as a filler, this meal had tons of veggies and I didn't feel bad going back for seconds! Of course I forgot to take a picture so you are just gonna have to trust me!
