Sorry folks! It’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted a menu plan monday! We had a house guest most of the last two weeks and as I tend to blog in the wee morning hours, I would have felt like a horrid host creeping downstairs to blog! (Hence the lack of other posts these last few weeks!)
Anyway.

How do you make sausage and barley salad? That sounds good!
Here you go!
Ingredients:
heaped 1/2 cup pearl barley
6 sausages or alternatives
2T Olive Oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1t dried oregano
4T chopped tomatoes
salt
black pepper
1. Soak the barley for 6 hours or O/N. Drain and Rinse.
2. Broil sausages until cooked through (maybe 20 min)– I actually use sausage crumbles.
3. Heat oil in skillet, saute garlic for 1 min, stirring.
AssAdd oregano, tomatoes and barley, cook 10 mins, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, cool.4. Slice sausages and stir into barley mixture.
Also, LOL, I assume you mean “add oregano.” oops!
OK, my first reply, the one where I said “Thank you,” disappeared.
OMG.
