Today was not a big cooking day. After my accomplishment yesterday, I figured I could slack a little. Also yesterday I decided to go crazy with my blog post and write a novel, so tonight I will keep it short and sweet. Tonight we were having pasta for dinner so I figured a salad would be a great addition to our meal. Most salad recipes were: cut up romaine lettuce, toss in dressing, serve. That was a little too easy so I found a recipe that required some form of actual cooking. I found noodle salad toss which was great because I only had to buy chow mein noodles. Thank god I did not have to spend a lot of time in the grocery store because everyone knows how much I love the grocery store.
To make the noodle part of the salad I had to melt 2 tablespoons of butter, then mix in 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. I then added the noodles to the buttery garlic mixture and topped it off with parmesan cheese. Next, I baked the noodles for 20 minutes. The noodles smelled so delicious after they were done baking. I added the noodles to lettuce and made a homemade vinaigrette dressing. The salad was light and fresh, which was good after a week of heavy baked foods.
Tonight's dish was really refreshing. I am glad I mixed it up a little, even though a salad was pretty easy to make. Hopefully tomorrow I am able to make something for the Halloween weekend, like maybe a ghoulish drink (yes the cookbook has a tab just for drinks).
