Broccoli Salad

Yum

 This recipe is courtesy of my sister-in-law, Jan.  I never had broccoli salad until she made it for one of our family functions years ago.  Since then we always ask her to bring it because we love it so much.  
 
I have never really tried to make it on my own, but I asked her for the recipe and it was so easy that I will not need to wait for the next family gathering to enjoy this great salad.   Jan always makes her version with raisins, but since my son does not like raisins, I swapped it out for some sweet yellow bell pepper. You can do either or both... because it's great both ways.  This is one salad that is welcome on my table anytime.  Thanks Jan!

Ingredients:
3 cups chopped broccoli
1/2 cup soft raisins (optional)
2-3 Tbs of finely chopped bell yellow pepper (optional)
4-5 slices bacon crispy and crumbled
2 Tbs chopped onion

Dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp white vinegar
1 Tbs sugar
salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:
Mix dressing and set aside.  Prepare bacon and allow to cool.  Prepare all other vegetables as needed. Dress broccoli salad with dressing and bacon.  Chill for 1 hour before serving.  Enjoy.

Strawberry Lemonade Slushy

Yum

My kids and I were running errands on Saturday and it was hot outside.  My son asked if I could stop for a lemonade slushy he saw on a Burger King poster as we drove by the restaurant.  I knew I could make it at home for less, but he was thirsty and this Mom caved in and said okay.  We bought a large for $2.99.   Then I watched them make it... ice... lemonade concentrate... blender... done.  I was right.... it was totally not worth the money.  I looked around my house the next day.. ice in freezer (free), lemonade concentrate in freezer ($1.27 on sale) and I even added some healthy strawberries in for good measure.  They were so thrilled that I could not only make this slushy at home... but it tasted better to them too.  Score... one for Mom!


Ingredients:
4-5 cups ice
1/2 cup frozen concentrate lemonade
1 cup chopped strawberries
mint for garnish (optional)


Directions:
Add all ingredients to blender.  Blend until ice is slushy.  Serve immediately. Enjoy.
