Broccoli Salad

I remember the first time I had this fantastic sweet and sour broccoli salad at a friends house. I couldn't get enough of it. I do make it during the year, but tend to think of it as a summertime salad. It's super easy to make and it gets better the longer it sits.

1 cup raisins
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 lb. bacon - cooked crisp, crumbled

Easy Recipes for Cookouts and BBQ's
Everybody enjoys a BBQ or a cookout. It's a great time to get together with family and friends enjoy great weather, outdoor entertaining, great company and great food. Part of the fun of a BBQ or cook out for our family and friends is sharing homemade dishes. Everybody brings something different, along with the recipe.

Thanksgiving Dinner
Last Thanksgiving was the first Thanksgiving meal I've ever cooked, at the tender age of 48. I'd always had a parent's house to go to, or a friends house, or had gone to a restaurant/buffet for Thanksgiving with friends. I am now married and between my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law and myself we decided that I'd be responsible for Thanksgiving dinner. Luckily there are only eight of us.
