potato salad

As many of you know

or don't know

As I make some of the family

favorites

I have been posting them so that

my kids and family members

will have them

I figured it would

be nice not to have to

ask for them, that

no matter where

they are they can

get online and find them

most being tutorials

So here is

my potato salad recipe

I really don't measure anything

Chop:

pickles

celery

black olives

green onions

and add mustard to mix

cube potatoes

and boil

with eggs

boil potatoes until fork tender

run cooked potatoes

under water to stop cooking process

allow eggs to cool

peel and chop

while some of the potatoes

are cooling I smash

them on the side of the bowl

this makes it a little creamier

I add the potatoes

and eggs to the pickle combo

and refrigerate

until chilled

Add just enough Hellman's

or Best Foods Mayo

to moisten

Allow flavors to meld together and cool

Viola!

Sun Dried Tomato Chicken Fettucine

I'd like to say I measured
this but I didn't
I was inspired by this recipe
Fast Chicken Fettucine - BHG

What you need:

Sun Dried tomaotes in oil

Parmesan-Romono Cheese

Fettuccine - I used the garden

has tomato

spinach

and

carrot

and chicken

you can use leftovers

cut up into bite size pieces

I sauteed it using some of the oil

from the sun-dried tomato jar

adding the sun-dried tomatoes

and leftover

grilled bell pepper

and garlic

Honestly could dump

any veggie in it

while that was cooking

I boiled the water

and cooked the fettuccine

then drained

and dumped it in

to the saute pan

topped with cheese

Easy Peasy...

oh and of course

I used my

bestest ~~china~~ paper plates

Whoopie Pies

A tried to make these a while back

without a pan and it was a disaster

Sooo when I saw this

in the store I knew it was for me

I used a reg cake mix

made according

to pkg direction

the 1st batch was 2/3 full

like they said

and they came out thick

you are suppose

to put 2 of them together

so the second batch

came out smaller

but we preferred

the bigger ones

and I cut them in half

after they cooled

Made the frosting:

1 1/2 C powder sugar

2 C marshmallow cream

1 C butter flavored crisco

(you could use butter)

once cut dollop the frosting

and put the top on

the one on the right is cut

the one on the left is 2

They definitely were a hit!
