This is THE BEST BROCCOLI SALAD RECIPE ever.
My friend abby once brought it over and I begged her for the recipe.
You will get people begging you for the recipe if YOU make it.
It’s just a basic yummy broccoli salad that is a perfect side. Fresh and crunchy!
Broccoli Salad Recipe
**mix together the following in a large bowl:
(note to self..I eyeball the amount of everything..just do it to your taste!)
Broccoli
Cauliflower
1/2 small red onion (or more or less)
8 oz package of Sharp Cheddar Cheese (I always do a little less but giving you the exact recipe)
Chopped up Bacon (I sometimes use turkey bacon. tip: cut before you cook it and it keeps its shape.)
**In another dish mix the sauce:
2 cups mayo (hellmans)
2/3rd cup Sugar (I always do a little less but giving you the exact recipe)
3 TB White Vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
**stir together sauce and salad on location right before serving to prevent soggy salad…

My girls’ love helping with this recipe.
I chop up everything and put them into little bowls for them to toss in.

It’s been a busy week of Shipping the January HAPPY MOMMY BOX!
I really wanted to do a recap of 2013….but hey…
we are just gonna jump right into 2014!
I really want to get back on top of meal planning.
Yesterday for dinner I had one of sienna’s leftover chicken tenders, an apple
and 2 microwaved smores. don’t judge. It was a long day. haha.
But I just love how a new year gives me a renewed sense of capability!
I already cleaned out my closet once and took out 2 bags of giveaway!
If I didn’t wear it in 2013..it’s gone. (Seriously..I hold onto everything clothes wise
thinking I might need it one day when I’m 2 months postpartum…
or 8 weeks pregnant…haha.. #pregnancybodyproblems.
I hope you are feeling energized and ready to tackle a new year!
I’m so excited for what is in store for us this year…I’m feeling really positive today.
and hungry. I really want broccoli salad now.
