Don't you think it's about time that we create a Family Cookbook? Well, I DO! I've spent some time researching trying to come up with the easiest (free) way to get it going, and I believe this is it. Please post any of your favorite recipes, also any tips -- cooking, household, beauty, whatever -- and any inspirational thoughts (whether your own, or someone else's.) I would LOVE to have pictures to include as well. You could take pictures of the dishes/recipes you are submitting, or even just great pictures (or even below average pictures) of you and your family!

Please label each post with an appropriate label (i.e., salad, dessert, vegetarian, household tip, inspiration, etc.) Go ahead and add labels as needed; and it's ok to have more than one label per recipe/post.

My plan is to take what we assemble here, and put it into book form. I would love to have it ready for our Thanksgiving Extravaganza!

Bonnie Lassen's Favorite Spinach Salad

MOM’S FAVORITE SPINACH SALAD

2 pkg. cleaned spinach
1 pkg romaine lettuce
1-1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup cider vinegar
1 lb. sliced fresh mushrooms
1 red onion, sliced in moon shapes
1 lb. bacon

Mix or blend together vinegar, oil, sugar, salt, poppy seeds, onion and
mushrooms. (I also add ½ tsp dry mustard). Marinate at least 6 hours or
overnight. Just before serving, fry bacon until crisp. Drain and crumble. Add
spinach, lettuce, Swiss cheese and drained water chestnuts. Put cup of cottage
cheese in a strainer. Hold under tap until all the milk is washed off. Toss all
together. Enjoy!
