Simple Salad

The weather where we live has gotten rather warm very quickly.  Because of this huge shift in the weather the last thing I wanted to do is heat up the kitchen (our outdoor grill hasn't been cleaned for use yet) so we opted to make a salad for dinner.

The salad consisted of:
Red Boston Lettuce
Green Leaf Lettuce
Carrots, sliced
Cucumbers, sliced
Green Pepper, diced
Dried Cranberries
Aged Cheddar Cheese pieces
French Dressing

Here is how I make the French Dressing:

1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 clove of garlic, pressed
1/4 cup ketchup
3/4 cup olive oil
Put all contents into a jar and shake until mixed.

Quick and Easy

Really wanted something quick and easy for dinner tonight.  With the preparations of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday I didn't want to do too much cooking.

I bought a sun-dried tomato chicken sausage today at our local Co-op.  The ingredients in the sausage was simple.  Pastured chicken, garlic, sea salt, sun-dried tomato, tomato flakes, basil and black pepper.  The sausage had a really nice taste.

I cooked the sausage in a skillet until browned.  While the sausage was cooking I added a chopped up green pepper.  I cooked the green pepper until the pepper has just softened.

I cooked some egg noodle pasta.  Add the cooked pasta to a bowl with a little bit of butter, added the cooked green pepper.  Also added a chopped tomato.  The warmth of the cooked pasta warmed the tomato.  Add the sliced sausage.  Mix together.
