Broccoli Salad -Kaye:From the IE
Ingredients:	Directions:
2 heads of fresh broccolli 1 lb. Cheddar cheese 1 lb. bacon fried crisp Dressing 1 cup of Mayonaise 1/4 cup of granulated sugar 4 tbsp. red wine vinegar	Wash and cut up broccoli. Dry broccolli. Add cheese and crumbled up bacon. Mix well. Mix all dressing incredients together well. Add to broccolli, cheese and bacon mixture.**

**Note recipe says to mix it all together but I like to keep
the dressing seperate and let each person serve their own.
This keeps the left over salad from becoming soggy.
A slice of red onion is awesome with this if you like onions.

Awesome Jello Salad -Heather : From the IE

Ingredients:

Directions:

1 small box of vanilla NON-INSTANT pudding and pie filling
1 small box orange jello
1 small tub of cool whip
1 large can of chunk pineapple
2 small cans of mandarin oranges

Prepare the vanilla pudding according to the directions
on the box tell you but substitute water for the milk.
Once you have brought the vanilla mixture to a boil,
pour in the orange jello powder** and mix this.
Put it in the fridge until it is COMPLETELY cooled.
Once this happens, mix in the cool
whip and drained fruit.
Then chill for a couple of more hours (it's better this way).
You can also add bananas but I don't like them because they turn brown too quickly.
** You can use any kind of flavored jello like raspberry, or
cherry and then add the appropriate fruit but I like the orange.

1 large head iceberg lettuce
1 large head cauliflower, cut up
1 pound bacon, fried crisp and crumbled

This is very yummy; but I only make it once a year at Christmas.
The cholesterol level of this dish is
too high for this girl!
(And substitutions don't work well.)
