Hello, sweet friend…
Our family has grown exponentially during these last 2 years…
a kitty, horse, and most recently a puppy…
I am so excited to introduce you to our sweet, sweet Camille. Last weekend we brought her home with us… After finding a Morkie breeder over two months ago Joe and I had decided to take a leap of faith and put a deposit on this little puppy that hadn’t been born…much less seen..yet deeply hoped for.
She is currently a little over two months old and weighs one and a half pounds… No doubt she is a precious gift from above. Joe & I are both so overjoyed to be her pet guardians and to take her on this adventure of life with us!
What’s Cooking…
Since this was Camille’s first 4th of July I wanted it to be celebrated! So I decorated the outside deck (fortunately the weather was perfect)… I cooked veggie burgers, corn on the cob and made a side dish of old-fashioned potato salad which is super easy and always a favorite!
Old Fashioned Potato Salad
Ingredients
- 3 pounds russet potatoes about 5 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 ¼ cups mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- ¼ cup pickle relish
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
- 5 hard boiled eggs diced
- 2 stalks celery diced
- 5 green onions diced
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Paprika
Instructions
- Place diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a couple teaspoons of salt and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Cook until potatoes are fork tender, about 10 minutes. Watch closely and do not overcook or the potatoes will become mushy. Drain and set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together mayonnaise, mustard, pickle relish, garlic powder, sugar and vinegar.
- Add potatoes and stir to coat completely. Fold in eggs, celery and green onions. Taste and add salt and pepper as desired. If desired, top with a few sliced eggs and a sprinkle of paprika.
Thank you so much for sharing Camille with us! She is absolutely adorable.
Your Fourth of July home decorations, your festive holiday table and settings, your potato salad make a splendid celebration more special!
