Dad's Broccoli Salad
"My Dad gave me this recipe for broccoli salad. I usually don't care for broccoli salads, because they can be so heavy with mayonnaise. However, this one is the best one I have ever had, and it is the only one I would bring anywhere. I am not sure where he got the recipe from, or if he just made it up."

Salad base
- 2 heads fresh broccoli (tips mostly, cut into pieces)

- 1 cup mayonnaise (or Miracle Whip)
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1⁄3 cup sugar

directions
- Mix the broccoli, onion, bacon, sunflower seeds, and raisins in a salad bowl.

- Dad's advice: We sometimes let it sit in the fridge overnight to blend the flavors, but it's good to eat right away, too.

I am an active lady, and I am not the top chef in the world, but I can hold my own. I love making things that remind me of when I was little, I love trying out new recipes, and I love learning new things to cook. Most of the recipes I post are recipes I loved that I found online, but that I have tweaked just a bit. I do have some family recipes on here too. I love to bake, probably more than anything else in the kitchen. I love to bike ride. I like to read, travel, kayak (I've only been twice, but I loved it), hike, camp, basically any outdoorsy/active stuff.?
