Looking for a colorful meal to throw together? Try an Italian Sausage Stir Fry.
Sausage is often used as an appetizer when grilling or a breakfast side dish, but here we made our sausage the main-dish. It’s very important to get sausage locally, or online that doesn’t have additives. It’s extremely hard to find sausage without tons of additives.
When a dish is finished and it is THIS colorful, you know its a good sign! Try to buy your peppers organic, when possible, because it is one vegetable that is almost always covered in pesticides. This dish doesn’t even need a side dish, because it is full of variety.

Hi! Love your blog. Question about this recipe — could you bake it in the oven instead of cooking it on the stove?
Yeah! That should work : )
This was amazing! I made it exactly as written and my entire family LOVES it. Even the non-paleo family members are asking me to make it again!
Wow! That’s great. Thanks for sharing your favorite recipes Alissa.
