A former co-worker's wife used to make this for us and we all loved it! She called it Lawnmower Salad and we all agreed it was the best! Similar to the broccoli salad, but also has cauliflower. Lawnmower Salad Chopped broccoli and cauliflower, diced mild cheddar cheese, diced large onion and bacon bits to measure 4 quarts. Add a little garlic powder and if you like a little cayenne pepper. Salad Dressing: Stir together until smooth: 1 C Miracle Whip (not mayo) 1 14oz can of sweetened consensed milk 1/4 C + 1/3 C of vinegar 1 T sugar 1 t salt Stir until smooth, mix the dressing with the salad at least one hour before serving. Enjoy! C=cup T=tablespoon t=teaspoon

Pasta Fagiole I can just tell you what I do, so here goes. Make sure that you have a nice ham bone w/lots of meat left on the bone. Use dried lima beans, I prefer the large limas. The night before you plan to have pasta fagiole, sort thru the beans and discard any bad ones. Then put them in a large pot and cover w/ 6-8 cups of cold water, cover and soak overnight. The next day, drain the beans, rinse well and drain again. Place the beans back into the large pot w/ the ham bone. Along with a large diced onion. Cook until the beans are tender. When tender, add ditalini or farfalle and cook until done. It's great this way or you can add a can of diced tomatoes. We love it either way. As far as proportions, if you use 1# of beans, use 1/2# of pasta, if you use 2# of beans, use 1# of pasta, and so on. Delicious!!! Sorry, I forgot to add that you take the ham off the bone and add into the pasta fagiole! Duh, I don't know what I was thinking! Sorry.
