I believe in, and abide by, the rule that "all foods fit"! What this means is that while eating for one's health is most important, enjoying life and a variety of delicious foods comes in a close second! So, while most meals should be as healthful as possible i.e., low in saturated fats, mindful of sodium, added sugars, in proper portion sizes, and include plenty of non-starchy veggies (among other things, but that's a good place to start), there is also room for foods that are satisfying and time saving! Thus, every once in a while, it's a great option to choose a delicious store bought sausage, like bratwurst, chicken sausage, or hot Italian sausage, and include it as part of a balanced meal!
