Wednesdays Unplugged – Broccoli Carrot Salad

NOTE: I spend my Wednesdays Unplugged from appointments. It's my day to stay home, enjoy cooking and welcome our kids and grandkids for dinner in the evening. We end our meal with quotes from the Norwegian 'Quote Cup' passed on to me from my grandmother. I share a quote and a recipe here each week, and sometimes some photos of family fun. I love trying new recipes…and love getting recipes you would like to share!

QuotecupQUOTE OF THE WEEK

"Never tell anyone that something can't be done. God may have waited centuries for someone ignorant enough of the impossible to do that very thing." ~ J.R. Holmes

After 16 days of above average temperatures we are now into below average temperatures. Preciptation is way below average…no wonder I have been feeling a snow deficit!

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

This week's recipe seems more like a summer one…maybe it was those warm days we have been having that made me crave it last week. It's good any time of the year. This recipe makes a big bowl.
