I have been edified and enlightened this weekend by the beautiful talks that were given for stake conference yesterday and today. I always come away feeling lifted up in spirit as I hear the words of wisdom from our leaders, they are so inspired in their advice for us. It really does astound me to think that so many others are struggling with the same things that I am struggling with. Surely the Lord doesn't inspire someone to write a talk for just one person in the audience. Thus, many people need to hear the same things I need to hear. For some reason that comforts me.
The adult session focused on the importance of family history work. We were told some really neat stories about people being able to find their ancestors through the means of people that they have never met. I love hearing stories about how the Lord works in mysterious ways. These stories are proof to me of how the Lord has a hand in our lives. The Sunday session focused on feeling the inspiration of the spirit in our lives, living our standards, and thwarting Satan's efforts through constant prayer, scripture study, and focus on what is truly important.
My children have this thing for broccoli salad and they beg me to make it weekly. Every time I make it I become mom of the week around here which I happen to like! One would think that it might be odd for kids to love broccoli salad, and I am not necessarily thinking it is normal, but I do know it is pretty tasty. I decided for today's post to share my recipe. Beware, I am all about easy so don't expect something elaborate, and I cook for a crowd so if you want to make this adjust to your size of family. 1/2 package of broccoli florets from Costco (chopped) 1/2 red cabbage (shredded) 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of Craisins 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of real bacon bits 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of unsalted sunflower seeds 1/2 a bottle of Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Mix Seriously, if my kids scarf this salad down I promise most kids will.
