Sausage Puffs with Quinoa and Red Cabbage Cole Slaw

I've been playing around with lighting with my somewhat crappy Canon PowerShot (I do have a more powerful Nikon, but it's bulky so I'm trying to make do with my more accessible Canon).

Here are sausage balls that I rolled in lightly seasoned panko crumbs.  Somewhat lightly fried in my cast iron - very nice crunch.

I wanted to keep the veggies and grains pretty light (honestly, this is a more meat-heavy meal than I usually do), so I used quinoa and a quick red cabbage 'cole slaw' (just balsamic vinegar, some oil, seasoning, carrots, and scallions/green onions...might've also added lemon - note the veganness!  Vegan slaw?).  Must say that I love the color burst of red cabbage, which is more expensive than its green counterpart, but also has a bit more texture and flavor (so my partner noted).  I'm a fan.
