OH my....that looks very yummy!

 Linda, those look and sound delicious. I've never floured my potatoes when I've roasted them. I'll make this soon. Thanks for the R&R.

Thanks, Linda - I'll definitely try these.  Sounds yummy - not sure I've ever put marjoram and thyme together in the same recipe, but I trust any recipe you post!

Linda, like all your recipes this one looks so good. and yes I am giong to be making it one of these days soon.  thanks for sharing it with us.

You have to try the whole meal, Linda, it has become one of my favorites! I originally wanted to try only the Sausage with Apple Sauerkraut from that issue of TOH (Oct./Nov. 2006) but ended up making the complete meal, including the Green Beans with Walnuts. I do omit the bay leaf with the potatoes because I thought it might be a bit strange. What's your opinion?

 You are telling me I missed a meal.....I didn't get that issue -- would you share?

Just happen to have my magazine in front of me so here you go!

Sausage with Apple Sauerkraut

1 medium sweet onion, sliced

3 T. butter

2 medium apples, peeled and shredded (I use 3)

1T. lemon juice

1 can (8 oz.) sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained (I use a 1 L jar - Canada)

1/2 c. unsweetened apple juice (I add the contents of a small juice box)

1 t. caraway seeds

1/2 t. fennel seed, crushed (I omit this)

1 pkg. (16 oz.) smoked Polsh sausage (I use 1 1/2 lb. Kielbasa)

In large skillet, saute onion in butter for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. In a bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Add apples and remaining ingredients except sausage to skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat sausage according to package directions; cut into slices and serve with sauerkraut. Yield: 4 servings.

Note: I slice and add the kielbasa to the skillet to heat it through. Because of my changes I end up with 5 or 6 servings.

Green Beans with Walnuts

1 package (16 oz.) frozen cut green beans

1/4 c. chopped walnuts, divided

1/4 c. teriyaki sauce

2 T. butter, cubed

In a 1 1/2 qt. microwave-safe dish, combine beans, 2 T. walnuts teriyaki sauce and butter. Cover and microwave on high for 3 minutes; stir. Cook 5-6 minutes longer or until beans are tender. Sprinkle with remaining walnuts. Yield: 4 servings

If you like kielbasa and sauerkraut this will be right up your alley! Enjoy!

Sounds and looks really good. I will be trying this one. Thanks Linda!
