I hate the holidays for one reason and one reason only. I am so addicted to sugar. I love it and can't say no. So, the holidays come around and I eat. Then at some point I decide enough is enough and I quit. The problem? I have the worst withdrawals. I crave and think about sugar constantly, which of course is just torture! So, tonight as I sit here watching TV for a minute I am craving something yummy. I guess it is no wonder that I am struggling with losing weight, huh. Of course most of the commercials have to do with food. The last one I just saw was a commercial about pie and ice cream. Yum. It doesn't help my resolve that I have to see commercials that tempt me. Ah, the insanity of it all. :o)
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.

Why'd you make so many of the healthy foods taste...not so desireable, while the majority of the really-bad-for-us foods tasted oohhhhhh sooooooo desireable?
Hmm...maybe I need to go have a scoop of ice cream while I ponder that question. ;)
