Milkmaid's Recipe Box

FOOD, FOOD, FOOD! I'm such a FARMER at heart-- even a CALF knows that so much in life is about the FOOD! (A bit of a "bio" about me can be found way down near the bottom.)

You can find a recipe index entitled "Labels" down along the right side, starting below the picture of the farm. Then, below the "Label" list are pictures of some of my old "standbys"-- click on their picture and it should take you to the recipe.

You will see no advertising on my blog; this means there is no monetary benefit for me having "visitors" or "joiners"-- having said that, if you do wish to JOIN my blog, you can do so by scrolling w-a-y down to near the bottom of the page...

Elegant Broccoli Salad




INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 large clump of banded together broccoli, trimmed to bite-sized florets
  • 3 stalks of celery, chopped into 1/4" pieces
  • 4 green onions, chopped into 1/4" pieces
  • 1 cup yellow raisins
  • 2 cups red seedless grapes, whole or halved if large
  • 1/2 lb. cheddar cheese, large shredded or cut into 1/2" cubes
  • 1 cup almonds, slivered or sliced
  • 1/2 lb. lean bacon, fried to crispy and then crumbled.


  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 c. sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
DIRECTIONS:

  1. Thoroughly wash broccoli, celery and onions.  Prepare them as directed above.  Put all in a mixing bowl-- add raisins and washed grapes.
  2. Add FRIED/CRISPY bacon pieces, almonds and prepared cheese.  Toss to combine. Set this combination aside while you prepare the dressing as follows.
  3. In a separate container, combine the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar.    Stir this until you can tell by the 'grain-i-ness' that the sugar is dissolving.
  4. Pour over veggie mix, and stir to coat.  Cover tightly and chill for a few hours before serving.
