Broccoli Cauliflower Salad

Broccoli Cauliflower Salad

I wanted to make a broccoli salad, maybe with bacon, maybe without mayo, but broccoli salad is usually complemented with some other vegetable, like cauliflower — so, here we have a broccoli-cauliflower salad! With bacon, and just a bit of mayo. You can make more 

Bell Pepper Slaw

Bell Pepper Slaw

This Pepper Slaw came from a Marlboro recipe, probably an insert to the Cook Like A Man Cookbook. Don’t be apprehensive about making things from scratch – this is super easy. Just make sure you have a really big knife. To slice the cabbage, I

Bowtie Pasta Salad

Bowtie Pasta Salad

This pasta salad is great as a side or main dish. It’s cool for a hot summer day and filling because of the pasta. My mother made this for me (following my recipe) when I was recovering from surgery sometime around 2001, so it brings
