I love macaroni salad, but wanted something a bit lighter. I looked through a lot of recipes and combined the best of all, and added my special touch--this was a big hit even among folks who don't normally like macaroni salads. The peas are the real surprise.
Ingredients
- 1 package elbow macaroni , 8 ounce
- 4 whole green onions , thinly sliced
- 2 stalks celery , diced

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, rinse, and transfer to a bowl.

Sausage Biscuits and Gravy
Often imitated, never duplicated. Just make sure that after you make this sausage biscuits and gravy for breakfast, you have a window of opportunity to go back to bed, because you won't be able to do much after consuming this. A cast-iron skillet is preferred. I prefer the taste that the maple sausage lends to the dish, however you could easily substitute regular or sage sausage in lieu of the maple.
