Mom's Sweet Macaroni Salad

Okay, last night at our RS social, this salad was enjoyed by many and at the end of the night we waited to see who picked up the bowl so we could ask for the recipe, and cute Betty said, "I just googled Moms best macaroni salad and this came up" so, for those last night who enjoyed this salad, here it is, and yes you can google it and find it on All Recipes! And it is a sweeter version of a macaroni salad so I have posted some others that are not so sweet.

Mom's Sweet Best Macaroni Salad
16 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
4 carrots, shredded
1 large red onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cup chopped celery
2 cups mayonnaise
1 (14)oz can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.  Add macaroni, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes.  Rinse under cold water and drain.

In large bowl, stir together the carrots, red onion, green pepper, red pepper and celery.  Mix in the mayonnaise, condensed milk, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper.  Add the macaroni, toss gently, cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.  I usually make this a day ahead of time, and stir it occasionally to blend the flavors.  The macaroni will absorb some of the liquid.


And for the nourishing of our souls:

here is a quote from Lorenzo Snow:  "Mortality is a school of suffering and trials.  We are here that we may be educated in a school of suffering and of fiery trials, which school was necessary for Jesus, our Elder Brother, who, the scriptures tell us, "was made perfect through suffering."  It is necessary that we suffer in all things, that we may be qualified and worthy to rule, and govern all things, even as our Father in Heaven and His eldest son, Jesus.

I found this in the book Divine signatures by Gerald Lund, loved the book, BUY IT< READ IT!
