Confirmed broccoli haters have changed their minds after tasting this salad. It is great for potlucks or buffet meals. Make a day or so before you wish to serve to meld the ingredients. I have used sugar substitutes for the white sugar and also used nonfat or low-fat mayonnaise and it still tastes great!

- 1 head fresh broccoli , cut into bite size pieces
- 0.25 cups red onion , chopped

Leslie's Ham Lentil Soup
I originally called this my "experimental lentil" soup, patching together various other lentil ham bone soup recipes. I've been making it every fall for a decade now. What's listed here is a single recipe, though I can't remember the last time I've made such a small batch. It's great for freezing in individual servings for lunches.
Lettuce Leaf Tacos
For those on a low-carb kick that love Mexican but dread all the beans and bread, try these ground beef lettuce wraps as an alternative for taco night. Low on carbs and still delicious!
Passover Lemon Sponge Cake
This cake is great for Passover because it uses matzah meal flour instead of regular white flour. It also includes neither butter nor leavening agents. If you cannot find potato flour or matzah meal flour, all-purpose flour will work just fine. However, it wouldn't be kosher. A good sponge cake needs a great deal of air beaten into the eggs.
