Dallas, TX

~ Crystle ~ 5 Comments

Hi Everyone,

For the last two years I’ve celebrated my birthday in Dallas, TX. It’s three hours from my town and the shopping rivals Los Angeles, or at least Sacramento.

I love Okla, but in some (commercial) ways–the living is primitive . Anyways, here are some old archive photos of one of my favorite cities.

Better Broccoli Salad

~ Crystle ~ 4 Comments

Happy Saturday!

Per request, I’ve posted one of my favorite recipes. I really dislike blogging about food because Todd is THE BEST cook (hey I was raised by a single dad, so don’t judge m’onions). I made this particular salad my own. Look Pops! I’m eating raw broccoli!

Here’s what you’ll need:

3 heads of organic broccoli
2/3 cup of miracle whip light
1/4 cup red wine vinaigrette
1/4 red onion, diced
4 slices of turkey bacon, cooked to a crisp, then diced
2/3 cup shredded fat free cheese (cheddar, mozarella, whatever you like)

Instructions: Turn on your ipod, play Manu Chao. Dance a little. Then chop your broccoli smaller than bite size, dice those onions and cook up your turkey bacon. Chop that bacon into bits, then combine ingredients. Add a dash of salt, pepper, sugar, and lemon juice. This dish is served best after marinating over night, but tastes delicious any which way!

I hope everyone enjoys it at Pam’s cookout tonight!
