"Perfect for holidays or when you just don't want to fuss over the stove-top. This recipe is so easy, with great results. Any type of cheese and sausage can be used. Also, other ingredients can be added, I usually add some shrooms and a dash of cayenne pepper, use your imagination. Do ahead: you can cook the sausage and onions the day before and refrigerate. This is adapted from Food Network, Giada's show. Hope you enjoy!"

<p>Hello all, being from California, I can honestly say I am a foodie. You can walk by construction workers here and hear them saying things like, So I used some fresh garlic and olive oil, then threw the rest into the pan to sautee. LOL I love all kinds of food, and trying to eat healthier as I get older, but still indulge in the occasional deep-fried food or sweet. <br />I LOVE this site! I have 3 or 4 other food sites such as Epicurious and Food Network, but I always come back here! The ease and all of the features just can't be beat. <br />Thanks Zaar and I look forward to participating more.</p>
