Italian Sausage Tacos

I am no longer the head chef in my kitchen anymore. No, I have been demoted to Sous Chef. Our sweet yellow lab, Rosie, has taken over as head chef.

Rosie-Yellow-Labrador

Rosie takes food very seriously.  She loves food.  She lives for food; and supervises my cooking while laying on the kitchen floor.  She does not have to see the food to know when it is ready. Her nose will tell her when it is done; and she has an excellent sniffer.

Rosie lying on the kitchen floor.

For example, for this recipe I had the turkey italian sausage, onions, green, red, and yellow bell peppers with salsa simmering in a skillet on the stove. I had to take a call in the other room for work. Next thing I know Rosie came to get me and was tap dancing and barking at me like she has to go outside REALLY bad.

So she ran to the kitchen; but instead of running to the back door, she ran to the stove and did her happy dance in front of the stove, looking at me, and then looking back at the stove, and then back at me.

I checked the sausage, peppers and onions…….and it was perfectly cooked, thanks to Rosie. She wanted to ensure that dinner did not burn.   Why have a timer when I have Rosie! Not only does she have her own internal clock, her nose is a kitchen timer!

Thanks to Rosie, we had a delicious dinner of turkey italian sausage, with sautéed onions, green, red, and yellow bell peppers, with salsa, and topped with cheese and pico de gallo on corn tortillas. The result are delicious Italian Sausage, Peppers, & Onions Tacos.  The italian and Mexican flavors blended together marvelously.   As an added bonus, it was also quick, easy, delicious, and relatively healthy.

And did Rosie get any of this dinner?  No, because it is too spicy for her.   However, she did get extra treats, and that made her happy.

Rosie-back-yard

Rosie has now let me know that she would prefer the job of taste tester instead of head chef. So I get my job back.  She has requested T-bone steaks, brisket, pork tenderloin, roasted chicken and salmon.

So stay tuned to this blog for future Rosie requested recipes.

    What a good assistant Rosie is. I am sure that she would have liked a hunk of that sausage! Our lab has a great sniffer too although I have yet to have her warn me about an impending disaster. Despite her love of food she has a rather sensitive stomach. I don’t give her taste treats intentionally but if she hears me swear she is in the kitchen in a hot second, she know that the clean up crew is needed. 🙂

      Hi Penny! Aren’t labs great! Actually I do not give Rosie food to taste, at least intentionally like you say. However, if anything drops on the floor it is hers. She makes a great vacuum and mop. Also, hubby and my MIL are pushovers and Rosie can usually talk them out of a few bites of food.

      Thanks Shelby! I know Rosie thinks she is human. She definitely knows more than we often give her credit for.
