Sausage, Peppers and Potatoes - with Kale Salad - as easy as it gets

This is really fast and easy to prepare, can be made ahead and warmed up and is great for leftovers and sandwiches.  I always make extra.  I buy red, yellow and/or orange peppers when they are on sale and/or in the reduced section.  The brighter the colour the more nutritious the vegetable.  Andrew does not like green peppers, so I use any of the other colours.

Once again I am using hot Italian turkey sausage because the girls will eat it (and they are lower fat than pork).  You can use sweet sausage if you don't like hot, you can use, pork, chicken or lamb sausage.  What ever your family enjoys.

Kale is a "super food".  I am trying to incorporate more nutrients into our meals.  Kale is high in  beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, lutein, zeaxanthin, and reasonably rich in calcium.  We find it a tasty alternative to lettuce
