Grandads Broccoli Salad
Aaron's grandad loves when I make this broccoli salad. He may be one of our most favorite people and our biggest cheerleader (don't tell Nana) so he can have whatever he wants. We love our grandad and this broccoli salad makes him happy!
- 3 bags cut broccoli I buy these in the salad section at the store
- 1/2 cup red onion I buy this already diced in the produce section
- 1 cup raisins I will sometimes substitute with craisins
- 1/4 cup + 2tbs white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 bag cooked, crumbled bacon Don't buy the can of bacon bits, they are too hard. I use Hormel Real Crumbled Bacon bags.
In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, onions, and raisins. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, sugar, and mayonnaise. Pour this mixture over the broccoli mixture and toss until well coated. Refrigerate for 4 hours.
Toss with the crumbled bacon.

Peanut Butter Energy Balls
These are my kiddos favorite after school snack. They are super yummy!
Course Snack
Cuisine American
- 1 1/4 cups gluten free rolled oats
- 2 tbsp flax seed
- 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Place all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set (this will make the balls easier to roll later on).
Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and portion the dough into balls of desired size and place them on a cookie sheet. (I store mine on a cookie sheet in the fridge. Until they are hard and then I move them to a sealed container)
You can refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
