Hot Italian Sausage Fest


I love sausage (the food). On top of pizza, in tomato sauce, or alongside Italian favorites, sausage is just plain fantastic. I find the johnsonville sausages to have an especially good flavor, and until I get the sausage making attachment for my kitchenaid mixer, I'm going to continue to buy these babies from the store.

Of course any food that can be described by the phrase "more unhealthy than bacon" should be treated with caution. So what portion size should these sausages be consumed in?

One sausage, but watch the numbers.
Its not so much the calories that are a killer, at 270, a single sausage isn't a nail in the coffin. But, with two "over-30" percentages for sodium and fat, eating sausage in moderation ensures that you yourself will LIVE to be over-30. Personally I eat about two and a half sausages as an accompaniment to lasagna, so I'm getting 2/3rds of fat and sodium right there.

Eating a 5 pack ensures you'll never get a 6 pack.
