Looking for Easy Recipes...

It's that time of the year: Time to feed the crowd, bring a dish to a party or potluck, offer an easy side dish... Plus we need to pull out the traditional favorites that might typically be found at holiday gatherings--it brings back those warm, fuzzy memories...

The Broccoli Salad recipe is a favorite; a quick and easy recipe you can throw together fast. I've made it with regular raisins when I haven't had golden raisins on hand- it's still great! A friend adds roasted, salted sunflower seeds; another option that's tasty too.  Another great feature of this simple recipe: It can be made ahead of time. The broccoli marinates well; the peanuts/bacon can be added last so they still have their crunch.

You can watch me make some easy party foods (including this Broccoli Salad recipe) here.

For whatever reason, I think broccoli and any kind of nuts always go together very well (in my opinion anyway). Love this texture combination and I bet it tastes great, too.

Yeah, the textures... so good to have something crunchy in there :)
And oh, your site is beautiful! The grapefruit marmalade (etc.)... Also, why didn't I think I could eat the flower stalks from my chive plant?! Thanks for the idea :D
