"From TOH, this looks like a quick and easy weekday dinner for my DH. A good use for that occasional left-over kielbasa."

This was good and was well received. I used half and half but I'd use whipping cream next time to get the richness. I would also add a lot more greens, but that's a personal preference. I also found it needed some salt. Thanks for the recipe.

I LOVE to cook and eat and read cookbooks. My kitchen really does overfloweth with them and of course this has quickly become my favorite cooking site! I live with my husband in a small town in eastern Connecticut. We are both retired. My children are all grown and have families of their own now. Our 3 grandchildren and 1 great-granddaughter all live in Florida and it goes without saying that we miss them very much, so when my husband retired last year we celebrated by buying a small RV! We so enjoyed driving it to Florida to spend the holidays with the little ones. Although COVID has prevented us from repeating the trip this year, I am enjoying learning new recipes to make in our RV for next year. I think the Instant Pot and the Crock Pot will be my new best friends while traveling!
