For the past several years when either one of us had a birthday the other one would cook a big supper and bring it to their house.
I spent all day baking and cooking and thought I would take some pictures and share recipes on here. I managed to get all the baked things done and then started on the main course. Fried chicken is one of her favorites, so naturally I made that. I have a recipe for the coating/breading that I spent years tweaking and adjusting till I found a combination that every one loves and I always get asked for the recipe when ever I make it. I was going to share it with you but somehow every last piece of the ten pounds of chicken I had prepared disappeared before I got a picture taken of the finished product. I have a sneaking suspicion that a certain dog and cat got to enjoy it too.
I made cheesy potatoes in my slow cooker that also disappeared before I had time to take a picture of them. And so it continued everything I worked hard at all day got swallowed up in a matter of minutes. I did manage to take one picture........ of a salad.
Broccoli Salad4 cups chopped broccoli
1 cup black seedless grapes (halved)
1 cup red seedless grapes (halved)
1/3 cup chopped green onion
1/3 cup chopped green onion
1 lb bacon (fried crisp and crumbled)
1 cup shredded cheese
In a bowl mix broccoli, grapes, onions, and bacon. Make a dressing with:
1 cup Miracle Whip
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp white vinegar
Pour over broccoli mixture and mix together. Set in refrigerator overnight for flavors to blend. 20 minutes before serving add the cheese and mix again.
As you can tell by the picture I hadn't added the cheese yet. I have resolved next time I want pictures I have to take them immediately after the food is prepared. For sure if I'm expecting to feed a hungry, fun loving crowd of little people.

Salad looks good! How about blogging your fried chicken recipe, please, please, please!!!
I just got the recipe for this broccoli salad last year and it is a DEFINITE family favorite!! It disappears in no time and frying the bacon to put in it is the hardest part - so that tells you how easy it is. YUMMMMM. Great idea to share that recipe!!
The salad looks good but those cheesy potatoes got my attention!
ooOOOHHH everything sounds like it was delicious, but I agree, those cheesy potatoes got my attention too! Please share your recipes for the chicken and potatoes when you have the time, I'd love to try them. Wishing you a wonderful day!

The salad looks and sounds great. Everything disappearing so quickly means that it was much enjoyed, so that's the best compliment to your recipes.
