Potato Kielbasa Skillet

The weather has been nice and sunny lately (finally getting some much needed vitamin D). The days are getting longer, which is such a treat for this time of the year (when it is difficult not to get the winter blues).  Last night when we were eating dinner, it was bright enough in the house that we didn't even have to turn on the lights {so nice}. Daylight savings time happens this coming weekend already (have to remember to change the clocks 1 hour forward). We will be losing 1 hour of sleep which sucks, but it is a sign that spring and the warm weather are around the corner {yippee}.

The other week we tried a new recipe. Potato Kielbasa Skillet. I followed the recipe with one exception (I added 1/2 a red pepper). It was quick and easy to make (bonus) and delicious!!

The recipe is from taste of home - Potato Kielbasa Skillet if you want to give it a try. We enjoyed it and I will definitely be making it again!

Hope you have a great weekend. Don't forget to change your clocks forward Saturday night before going to bed or you might get to where you're going an hour early on Sunday!
