Sausage and Apples with Pineapple Teriyaki Rice

We have had this pesky can of apple pie filling sitting on the shelf for months. I don’t even know where it came from. And Eva constantly asks if she can eat it. Lunchtime rolled around and this simple recipe came to mind. It is delicious and inexpensive, just how I like ’em! 🙂

Sausage and Apples with Pineapple Teriyaki Rice

Ingredients:

For the rice

3 c. rice

4 1/2 c. water

1 1/2 c. pineapple juice

1/2 Tbsp minced garlic

1 Tbs Teriyaki sauce

For the sausage

1 lb smoked sausage, cut into 1/2″ slices (precooked, I used beef)

1 can apple pie filling

1 large onion, diced

1/2 c. pineapple juice

1 Tbs. Teriyaki sauce

salt and pepper to taste

1 Tbs canola oil

Directions:

1. Mix all rice ingredients in a large pot on high heat. When it starts to boil, cover loosely and turn down to low. Leave it alone for around 15 minutes, then uncover and fluff with a fork. Set aside.

2. Heat oil on med-high in a skillet. Add in sausage and onions. Cook until onions are slightly soft.

3. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cook until heated throughout.

4. Serve over rice.

Makes 6-8 large servings.

Summer Activities for Young Preschoolers

As a preschool teacher, I’m frequently asked about ways to help facilitate learning and growth at home, particularly what activities for young preschoolers can parents work on at home.

Or spring break. Or ….Tuesday!) So what are some activities for your young preschooler, or any time of the year, to do at home?
