Wordless Wednesday!

First night sleeping in a big girl bed, and yes, I did break down and let her put as many blankets and animals in her bed for the night. She was so proud of it being, "Hers."

Tip Tuesday!

Yeah! Look at all the beautiful canned pears I made with my Grandma today. (Thanks so much Grandma!)

Today's tip is when you are canning or baking or knitting or whatever. Invest the help of someone who has been doing it for years. I got so many helpful and great tips from my Grandma today. It is so much better than learning from a book, and much more enjoyable!

Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad!

Hope everyone enjoyed a beautiful Labor Day! We went to a potluck with family, and had a great time. My favorite salad to bring is Brocooli and Cauliflower Salad. It is one of the only ways I actually enjoy the two veggies, so I thought I would share my recipe.

BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER SALAD

Ingredients-
2 bunches broc. and caul. (total 8 cups)
10 slices chopped bacon
