Sausage Pasta
The best pasta ever!!!! (in my opinion...)
2 Leftover Brats
Fontina Cheese
Parmesan Cheese
Roasted Red Peppers (Jarred)
Roasted Garlic (Jarred)
Pasta
Sauce (Ragu)
Boil Water. When the water's boiling -turn on the oven at 350 degrees.
Cook the pasta according to directions less 1-2 minutes. Secondly, chop up the already grilled leftover Brats, chop up about 5-6 oz fontina cheese, take out a roasted pepper from the jar & chop too.
Once the pasta is done, drain in colander. In the pot used to cook the pasta - put the red peppers and garlic in for 2 minutes. Then add the sauce & brats. After 3-4 more minutes, add the pasta and mix in the fontina. Sprinkle Parmesan on top & put in the oven for 15 minutes or until the top noodles look a little crunchy and browning...
Be Careful when you take the pan out - its hot!

Spring Chicken Salad
Quick Chicken Salad B. Lowe
3 cups cooked chicken
1 apple
½ cup celery
1/3 cups green onions
½ cup cashews (chopped)
Cube first four items, then mix 1 cup mayonnaise. 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Add to above.
Courtney's Shortcuts:
Use Checkout Lane Chicken - it's already pre-cooked but hot....so the other option is the kirkland (costco) precooked chicken - I think its better than Tyson :)
I'd do pecans instead of cashews and add some dried cherries or cranberries...YUM!
