Quick Sausage

This is great for a snack, side dish or main course. My son, husband and I love sausage and often when I know he wont eat what I will be preparing for dinner, I think of other options that will be a hit and have a variety of protein and vegetables.

Ingredients: 

  • Sausage
  • Mushrooms
  • Onion
  • EVOO
  • Garlic Salt
  • Salt & Pepper

In a skillet, saute all ingredients until heated through and cooked.

Tonight we had Mahi with rice and salad. I decided to serve the sausage as a side dish as I know my son absolutely loves it.

We all love to eat dinner and hang out on our patio….boo hoo for when summer decides to leave us! :(

Mediterranean Salad

My husband and I love cucumbers, tomatoes and rice vinegar with oil as a delicious summer snack. I’ve been making this snack all week long and decided to spice it up a bit by adding a lot more items to use as a main dish salad.

We love this salad and it is healthy, filling and fulfilling.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups bok choy, chopped
  • 1 cup cucumbers, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ¼ cup oil
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

In a medium bowl, add bok choy, cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado and cilantro.
