Hot, sticky summer days are here – perfect days to think about NOT heating up the house and about eating light & healthy. And when light and healthy means cool and delicious, too, like this Pesto Pasta Salad, that’s a winner.
Pesto Pasta Salad is not your every day salad – perfect for a meal or a party
As some of you know, I’ve been “bunking” with my folks ever since they had some health issues last year; I’m in the middle of nowhere South Dakota (they moved here so it’s not even my home state) with Gibson, my Labrador, Homer, my cat, a few clothes, and a laptop. In a spruce green room…yikes! At least it has a big window…

So a friend of mine called yesterday and asked about Broccoli Salad. Yep. Broccoli Salad. You know it, that Crazy Broccoli Salad that’s been around forever, kind of a mainstay for summer potlucks and picnics. It was my Mom who first gave me the recipe back in the 70s, and I’ve been making it ever since. This one, though, I’ve tinkered with, and now it’s Lighter Crazy Broccoli Salad (No Mayo).

I love broccoli. It’s one of my favorite veggies. And one of my favorite ways to cook broccoli is this Simple Steamed Broccoli. Simple Steamed Broccoli is like the workhorse. every day broccoli and it’s a good one to know.

If you’re like me and love a good Cream of Broccoli soup, one that’s a soup and not a glorified cheese sauce in a bowl (although those do have their place & I have one on my site) this is the soup for you. Delicate, luscious, with a few French twists, Russell’s Cream of Broccoli Soup stands by itself. A “raft” of good cheddar is sprinkled across the top and broiled until bubbly and lightly toasted. Amazing.
