Yummy Potato Salad!

So I was doing my normal blog reading and came across this potato salad recipe. She called it Grandmas Potato Salad. You can find her original recipe here at Meatloaf and Melodrama. It sounded really good and we have a ton of potatoes we need to find something to do with. This was perfect but we added a few more things to it.

Ingredients
10 good sized red potatoes (small to medium)
2 stalks of celery (we used about 3 to 4)
2 hard boiled eggs (we used 3)
Mayonnaise (not miracle whip)
Salt and Pepper to taste
What we added
Bacon
Cheese
Red onion 
Add however much you want! 
I love love cheese so we added about 1/2 a cup and of course who does not like bacon so we added about 4 thick cut slices of it.

To prepare just really takes common sense
Peel your potatoes boil them, cool them, cut them up
chop up the celery
chop up the bacon after frying
peel and chop up the eggs and red onion
Mix it all together. 
Add as much mayo as you like as well as the cheese.
There you go you have some great tasting potato salad. I am not waiting for it to cool to eat with dinner tonight. I of course did some sample tasting so I know it is good stuff. 

I want to say thank you to Dee for this recipe! You can find her at the link I provided above! 

So It's Friday, What Are You Up To?

Yes it is Friday, and most people are totally excited about it but myself being a stay at home mom its another day. Seems like a beautiful weekend is coming our way. Today it was gloomy, rainy and cold. It was very nice sleeping weather. 

I realize today was 4/20,

but our Water Company was closed and we did not receive any mail?? No idea why the water place was closed and maybe I just did not receive any mail. Am I missing something? Anyways like I said earlier, it was just another day for us in our household. No celebrating this stoners holiday or whatever holiday it may be for our water department to be closed. I am not against the smoking of marijuana or anything but I have seen this photo posted all over my facebook news feed and find it funny in a lol sorta way. 

Good luck to all of you who celebrated today :-) 

Yesterday was pretty much as boring as today has been. My husband spent most of his time working on the computers. Trying to get Linux installed on one of the laptops, making space on the other one, re-installing Photoshop on one of the computers so I can step up my game on picture editing. Looks like I will be taking some courses on line on how to use Photoshop. At least the basics at least. I am wanting to really get into my photographing hobby, of course I always want to get into something. I always start then never finish. I always seem to lose track and start on something else that I don't finish. Its a nasty pattern to be into. 

We did spend a little bit of time outside yesterday in the late evening. Logan really seemed to enjoy it. Even though he tried to eat everything he sees. He has to try everything.

You can definitely tell Spring is here. There are caterpillars everywhere you step, turn and look.

For the dinner (thanks to the husband) we had beans and potatoes, but as us southern gals like to say, fried taters. Logan was eating them just fine at first then he decided he did not want a thing to do with it. 

  

Hopefully he enjoys tonights dinner better, once again thanks to the old man. He likes to cook. Thank goodness because honestly I do not for the most part. I get into my moods but mostly I am not a cooker. 

Everyone enjoy your Friday night and if you feel like doing some blog hops this weekend click on the image below and have a wonderful weekend and happy hopping.

31 Is Not So Bad

Well it has been a couple of weeks since I last posted, I can't seem to keep up with this blog thing but I am now setting a goal to be able to at least try to post a little something everyday. 


I recently had a birthday in which I was so not looking forward to. I dread getting older. I dread my kids getting older because it means that I am getting older. And to me that is just LAME! 


This was my 31st birthday and I was pretty depressed that I was going to be spending it all alone, but my dear husband decided to call in to work and spend it with me. YAY!! I sure do love him. He knows how to put a smile on a girls face especially when he takes me to Logan's for my birthday dinner.  

As always I ordered the 8oz sirloin, medium rare with blue cheese crumbles on the side, loaded mashed potatoes and a salad. Yummy always my favorite. The dinner was excellent and perfect. I really think it is because they just opened this place up in Rogers, Arkansas. 


The next day my sweet husband took me on a road trip to Eureka Springs to eat lunch at the Basin. Beautiful place but I was very disappointed in my meal. Yup I got it for free. Then after that he took me on to Branson Missouri where we strolled around Branson Landing. All in all I had a good birthday and being 31 is not as bad as I was expecting. Until next year I will be dreading 32. Last year I was 30, now this year I am 30 something. I shall get used to this also.
