I also splurged on making my grandmother’s Potato Salad. This is another summer food that is a splurge and it aways makes me think of her. I even make it in an old bowl that she used for the very same thing. So, here are some food pics and two good recipes! (You don’t have to wait for a Holiday for either of these. They are perfect for a summer cookout anytime!)
(Bigmama’s) Potato Salad
2 Tb. vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp pepper
1 Cup celery, chopped
4 Cups cooked, peeled and cubed potatoes
1/2 Cup chopped onion
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1 Tb yellow mustard (secret ingredient!)
1/4 Cup (or more) sweet pickle relish (another secret ingredient – if you have homemade pickles it is even better!)
1 Cup Light Mayo (or plain Greek yogart to be healthier)
Salt to taste
Paprika
In a large bowl stir together all ingredients saving Paprika for a sprinkle on the top.
Mix well; cover and chill.
Here’s the recipe:
BBQ Sauce
32 oz low sodium ketchup
16 oz water
1 beer
6 oz brown sugar
6 oz white sugar
1 T black pepper
1 T dry mustard powder
2 oz lemon juice
2 oz Worcestershire sauce
8 oz apple cider vinegar
Combine all sauces in a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Reduce to low and simmer uncovered for at least 30 minutes. Baste the ribs as they cook frequently.
How was your day? How do you honor those who have and are serving our country?
Happy Summer! It’s finally here!
