Welcome

Welcome to Kay's Village Recipes! Some believe the heart of the home is in the kitchen, I believe the kitchen is the heart of the village. It takes a “village” to live life to its fullest and it has nothing to do with geography or how large or small a town you live in. My “village” is inhabited by family members, dear friends, co-workers, and the occasional visitor who is in my life for a short period of time. Each one of these people has a profound impact on my emotional wellbeing as well as the quality of my life, and all have one thing in common…they all love to eat, and I love to cook for them.
On this blog you will find free, family recipes for: homemade soups, breads, apple pie, cakes, candies, snacks, casseroles, main courses, side dishes, appetizers, breakfast, home-style cooking, and so much more.

Broccoli Salad

Original Recipe from:  Kay Johnson-Tomblin

I started making this salad about 20 years ago and it’s always a hit.  Serve it as a side dish for a family dinner or dinner party, or take it to a pot-luck event.  It’s very easy to make and looks great on the table.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 large Broccoli (tops only)
1/2 cup sliced or slivered Almonds
1/2 cup Raisins
1 teaspoon minced Onions
2/3 cup Miracle Whip
1/3 cup Sugar
5 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled

Directions

Cut broccoli in bite size pieces.  Soak in salt water for 2-3 hours (or overnight).  Drain.

Mix Miracle Whip and Sugar together and toss with the Broccoli.  Let stand until ready to serve. 

Add Raisins and Bacon just before serving.

Tip:  Soak raisins in water for a few minutes to plump them up.
