Stir-Fried Sausage and Vegetables

Made this tonight for my sis and I and we really enjoyed it. It's on the hot/spicy side and has a wonderful flavor combination. The Andouille sausage adds an additional spice/smoky flavor that we loved. This can be put together and on the table in about 30 minutes. Serve this over rice or whole wheat spaghetti or just by itself.
