“Something magical happens when food is cooking — the rest of the world melts away, and nothing exists except what’s in the skillet in front of you–and it talks, it breathes, and lives. The sounds, aromas, textures, flavors and the heat of the kitchen–even the occasional searing burn– feel good.” David Link
People ask me all the time why I like cooking. I never really had a good answer. Its just something I really enjoy doing. This quote from David Link comes as close to explaining it as I can get.
Broccoli Salad
From The Frugal Paleo Cookbook
1 bunch broccoli, cut into small florets
1/2 cup craisins
1/4 cup almonds, slivered or chopped
1/4 cup finely minced red onion
1/4 cup sunflower seeds, or more almonds slivered or chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup red wine vinegar.
5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Salt and pepper
In a large bowl, mix together the broccoli, craisins, sunflower seeds, onions and almonds.
In a seperate small bowl, combine mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar.
Pour the dressing over the broccoli and mix in the bacon. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
It was excellent!
