Another recipe post for your dining pleasure. We had this tuesday evening with Ham & Macaroni and Cheese. It's one of Graham's favorites so I usually make a full recipe even though it's just the two of us. I think it tastes even better the next day.
1 bunch broccoli
1/2 C. Roasted Sunflower Seeds, Unsalted
1/2 C. Raisins
1/4 C. Chopped Red Onion
3 Strips Bacon, fried and crumbled
2 C. Cubed Mozzarella Cheese
Dressing
1 C. Mayonnaise
1 T. Vinegar
1/4 C. Sugar
Modifications
I always leave out the red onion as neither Graham nor I are fond of raw onions. You can substitute Monterrey Jack for the Mozzarella cheese. On tuesday I used 1/8 C. Splenda instead of sugar. I generally use less Splenda than sugar because it sure seems to be sweeter even if they say it measures cup for cup. I couldn't tell a difference but next time I plan to increase the splenda to 3/16 C. since Graham said he preferred it a bit sweeter than it was.
The Milk Hates Me Corner
For those that are lactose intolerant this is a great salad recipe because the dressing doesn't have any dairy products. There's nothing worse that seeing a great looking pasta or vegetable salad somewhere only to find out the dressing is made with milk, buttermilk, sour cream, etc. If cheese is a concern that can also be left out. I personally don't feel like it contributes that much but then again, I'm not that big on cheese.

I am intrigued by your labels...and the sweater you knit was so CUTE!
Thank you very much. As far as the labels it's part of the new Blogger beta. I had been thinking the other day I wish there was a way I could label posts for searching later on and voila, there is!
how did you get it to say SCRIBBLES instead of comments?????? how cute? I spose that's alsoa part of the new blogger beta, which I haven't downloaded. Is it worth it?
Yep it's part of the Beta. I think the differences between the regular blog and beta blog are all for the better. I haven't found anything thus far I have disliked and the upgrade process is very easy. One thing to keep in mind is you have to have a google account for the beta version. (If you have a gmail account, that works.) If not, it's easy to set one up.
Here's how I changed mine to say scribbled & scribed:
Upgrade to Blogger Beta
Click on Manage Layout
Click on Edit in the Blog Posts box
You'll get a new window with a bunch of things you can change. I changed Posted by to Scribed by:
and comments to scribbles.
I logged in under the Beta version and it was as though I had to create a whole new blog??? If I don't have to do that, I'll pursue it a little bit more.
I think you log in as you normally would and then on the main page there's an option to upgrade your blog to the beta.
I know I just saw you, but..."update, update, update...." =)
I will do my very best to do that this afternoon. I have tons to say and I usually think about doing it during the morning but that's when I'm at work and I don't think blogging on company time is looked upon favorably.
