Lazy Sunday ~ Another Easy Recipe!

This recipe is from one of my very good friends and fellow haute moms.  She promises me that this is an easy one and she knows how I am in the kitchen so it's gotta be a good one!  There are also a lot of healthier substitutions that can be made, for example, chicken sausage instead of the andouille sausage.  My girlfriend says she subs shrimp for the turkey but I am actually considering getting a cooked chicken from the market and peeling it to use for this recipe and then finding turkey sausage to sub in as well.  So many possibilities...
I am going to serve it up tomorrow night - it looks so easy! Watch how it's done!
