I don't claim to be a great cook or to have any original recipes. I love collecting new and interesting recipes and I especially love all my old favorites that I have used over the years. Many recipes are from family and friends and I love them because every time I use them I am reminded of that person and/or some great memories that are attached. I am using this format to begin to put all my recipes in one place. I have attempted this in many different ways but none have been very successful. I am hoping that this will do the trick. Right now for recipes I reference a few different cookbooks, a small 3x5 card box, and a large plastic tub with loose papers. Not a great system. This is my new leaf. Ideally, every day I can put at least one of my recipes into this blog. This will make it so easy and quick for me to refer to and also to share my favorites with friends and family who ask for recipes.

Broccoli and Craisins Salad

Dressing:
1 c. sugar
2 tsp. salt
2 Tbls. poppy seed
1 1/2 c. oil
3/4 c. rice vinegar
2 Tbls. mustard
1 med onion, chopped fine

Salad:
Fresh broccoli
craisins
walnuts, almonds or pecans

The dressing makes quite a bit. I have not cut down the amounts from the original recipe that I got from my grandma Hancock. I just make the salad as big as I need and use as much dressing as I like and refrigerate the rest. The dressing is good to keep and use for about two weeks. So Good!
