Broccoli with Bacon

This is my favorite way to prepare fresh broccoli.  It leaves it crisp-tender with a nice hint of bacon!  

1.  Heat 1 to 2 Tbsp  of olive oil in a wok or stir fry skillet.

2.  Place cleaned, chopped, broccoli in the hot oil. Toss it like you would stir fry.

3.  Let it steam with the lid on.

4.  Season with stir fry seasoning (or lemon pepper).

5.  Finally, toss in crumbled crisp bacon and it's ready to serve!

Tangy, Crunchy Cauliflower and Broccoli Salad

  Now that warmer weather is here, I'm in the mood for salads!  I like the kind that you can prepare a day ahead and set in the refrigerator for folks to pull out whenever they want some.  These kinds of ready-to-go salads are the perfect summertime fast food!  The beautiful vegetables provide color and crunch;  very satisfying! 

  The recipe that I made today is an old typed one from one of my Aunt Sis' business classes (she required students to bring their favorite recipes for typing practice-such a smart woman!)

Cauliflower and Broccoli Salad

1 lb. fresh cauliflower

1lb.  fresh broccoli

1 small onion -I used Vidalia

Chop vegetables and toss with the following dressing.

1/3 C white vinegar

1/3 C sugar

2/3 C mayo (I use Hellman's)

1 tsp salt

Toss vegetables with the dressing.  Put in a pretty bowl.  Cover and chill overnight.

Have a great week!  Get out and enjoy the sunshine!
