Thank you everyone who responded! And, I agreed with you all. I thought the dinner "needed" the salad as well. So, some of you are probably wondering how the night went. Let me back up to Friday night, first. Saturday was my birthday, so since we were throwing a shindig here on Saturday, Jeff and I went out for our birthday date on Friday night. For my birthday date, I wanted to go to dinner and then go shopping. Yes, since it was my birthday, Jeff was going shopping with me. Jeff had actually taken the day off, so the birthday date started at 4:30 pm!We have these two sisters who come to babysit for the price of one. Something about loving to watch a little baby...whatever the reason, I love them for taking on our three. So, Jeff and I had just finished dinner on Friday night and we are literally at the door of Nordstroms to let the shopping commence, and his cell phone rings. Of course it's a call from home and one of our two cute baby-sitters says, "Hi, Brother Clark...I just wanted to let you know that Delaney has thrown up 4 or 5 times."
Wha??? What about me shopping, kid-free for the next 3 hours? What about that huge dinner we have at our house in 24 hours?
So, once we find ourselves back home, we find a very pale little girl. No fever, but definitely not feeling well. She continued to throw up so at that point we decided we had to cancel the party. So, no soup, no salads, no rolls. However, that did go hand-in-hand with no cleaning, no scrubbing, no dusting, so that was nice!
Now, to get to the point that you have all been waiting for. I got the approval from Hillary to post her salad recipe, so here it is. I promise it is super yummy and ALWAYS a hit!
Salad:
1 head romaine lettuce
1 bunch red leaf lettuce
1 reg size carton cottage cheese
1 red onion, sliced very thin
1/2 lb. grated swiss cheese
1 lb. diced and sauteed bacon
Dressing:
3/4 c. vegetable oil
3/4 c. white vinegar
1/3 c. sugar
1 t. dehydrated onion
1/2 t. dry mustard
1 t. poppy seeds
1/2 t. salt
- Combine dressing and let stand in fridge for 3+ hours (I've actually forgotten to make this ahead of time before, and it's still okay).
- This makes enough for 10-12 people. It's such a great recipe for a big group!

Just so everyone knows, although the shopping didn't happen that night, the trip has been postponed to a later date. It was a major bummer that we didn't get to shop. For those of you that know me, I'm not the best tag-a-long shopper. So, I was all prepared to be the supportive shopper that night and it ended up being a bust. Kelli will get her 3+ hours of shopping without the kids soon. Love you babe.
Kelli,
Happy belated birthday! So sorry to hear Delaney was sick, that is never any fun, even worse when it comes on your birthday. Is she feeling better now?
Thanks for the recipe, and thanks for your tips (I am going to go with the black page :)
So sorry kel! Maybe we can shop when I'm in town.
HBB Kelli-
