Classic Potato Salad


The chicken is good....The potato salad is even better

I whipped up this quick and easy potato salad a few nights ago, to cure my carb cravings. I had some leftover fried chicken from dinner the night before and I needed something simple to go with it. 
After all, on a Saturday night I didn't really feel like doing the whole big meal. This classic family recipe is creamy, eggy, and kind of sweet and salty at the same time.


Quick And Easy Potato Salad

Ingredients
  • 4 Large/ 6 medium Potatoes (I used eastern white)
  • 2 large eggs (boiled and chopped)
  • 2 tbsp mayo
  • 2 tsp brown mustard
  • 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 1/8 cup diced onion (I used red)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
Cooking Directions
*Fill a pot with cold water. Put on low/medium heat. 
  1. Peel, dice & boil potatoes to firm but fork tender. Salt water. 
  2. Let Potatoes cool. 
  3. Run cold water over them for a few seconds to stop the cooking process.
  4. They should be lukewarm after cooling a bit.

 
Chop boiled eggs, and onions.  Set aside.

Add salt and pepper to potatoes (season to taste)
Add mayo, mustard and pickle relish.
Mix gently to not break up potatoes too much .
Add chopped onions and eggs
Mix a second time.


Seasoning check again to make sure there's enough salt and pepper.
Garnish with paprika, and you are done.




When you scoop it out...It looks like this....Yummy! 


That's it. Takes less than an hour from start to finish. 
Chill in the refrigerator for a good hour and Bon Apetit :)

My Love For The Cosi Signature Salad

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of having a Cosi Signature salad, then I'm sure you will agree with me, as it is my favorite salad with a dressing you can drink. (kidding) I miss living in the big city so I have to improvise. And with a huge thanks to  The Brown Eyed Baker  ,  I was able to recreate it down to that awesome drinkable dressing.  This is the first salad I’ve eaten with fruit in it. It has pistachios, red grapes, gorgonzola cheese, pears, and dried cranberries. I added leftover cooked chicken because I was starving and I didn’t want to be hungry later. My hubby sliced up a boiled egg in his. No egg for me. I had one already this afternoon. The chicken was a great companion to the fresh fruit.                                         *Note: The Original Cosi salad does not have chicken or eggs.             ...

Cold Kicking Chicken Soup

It's  December, and I feel like I've been fighting off a cold the whole month. The some days warm, some days cool temperatures are killing my sinuses and my immune system. First sign of a scratchy throat or runny nose keeps me running to the pantry for soup ingredients. Whatever I have is what goes in the pot. Chicken soup is one of the easiest soups to put together and you can use any type of pasta. As you can see here, all I had on hand was some Fusilli Bucati  pasta that I was saving for a cold salad. Guess what? It worked today. 2 Large Chicken Breast or 4 thin sliced 8 oz fusilli pasta (1/2 box) 6 cups water  48 oz container chicken broth 1 tsp. granulated turmeric (for color, flavor, and health properties) chopped scallions for garnish salt and pepper 2 chicken bouillon cubes Boil chicken breast in 4 cups water. Add 1 chicken bouillon cube to water. Season water with salt and pepper to taste. Remove ch...

For my family...it's burger time .         Now for myself, since I am holding off on meat for a little while longer  I am going to suffer through a salad. My babies will be able to indulge :(   My turkey burger recipe is both simple and very flavorful. My recipe is for 8 medium sized burgers -about 1/3 lb each.
