Potato Salad With Bacon

Potato Salad with Bacon!!!!!!

I have been asked for this recipe several times, and I warn you, I don't do recipes well. I consider them more as guidelines than an exact rule. So, please take this list of ingredients and suggested amounts, as just that, a suggestion.


I am usually making this for a crowd:

5# potatoes
3 stalks celery
1 med. onion
1 bunch green onions
1.5# thick cut bacon
1/2 dozen hard boiled eggs
celery seed
salt and pepper
1 to 1.5 jars hellman's mayonaise
1c. sour cream
mustard to taste

Scrub the taters and plop in a large dutch oven or stock pot, cover with cold water, add a generous dash of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until fork tender, drain, and lay out the spuds to cool.

Dice up the bacon and fry in a skillet until crisp, drain on some paper towels.

When the spuds are cool, peel the skin off and dice up into bit size pieces, throw them into a large mixing bowl.

Now, it's time to add all the yummy stuff.

Dice up, onion, celery, hard boiled eggs, and green onion. Add everything to the bowl but reserve about 1/4 cup of the green onions and bacon for garnish.

Once the veggies and bacon are looking beautiful and blended, add the mayo, sour cream, and a touch of mustard. Mix. Finally season with S&P and celery seed, mix again and pour into your serving bowl.

Garnish with bacon and green onion

The Wild Women of my life

What happens when 16 women from different states, backgrounds, and generations come together in an amazing house for one long weekend? One Wild Weekend! I think any woman would be excited to have a weekend away. From schedules, requirements, stress, and laundry:) I look forward to this week almost as much as I look forward to date night with my Superman. This annual trip for me came about when my friend Cindy told me I was going with her. This is Cindy and her loving husband Tim: Isn't she just beautiful? Since, this is my blog, and Cindy isn't here to dispute it, here is how I remember the story's beginning. Cindy is my friend and was my girl scout co-leader. We met at an info meeting for scouts and I asked her to help me out with the troop. Because I am a bit of a control freak, I wanted a co-leader to be a fun lady who would have a blast with the girls, and do what I needed done. Which was basically show up and go on fun trips with us. Cindy is a

Master Chef

Have you ever sat in front of your TV, watching a cooking show and thought, I can do that....Well, I do that ALL THE TIME. I yell at cooks on Chopped like others yell at football players on Sundays. I think of course, the chef's can hear me. I cheer for the home cooks on Master Chef the same way. I have watched this show the last 6 seasons and am thoroughly engrossed in season 7 at the moment. The season finale is next week . I CAN'T WAIT! I'm pulling for 5th grade teacher Brandi Mudd to win! She's super cute and comes from a background of cooking for her family and friends in much the same way that I do. My love language is definitely food. I truly am my best me when I'm in the kitchen. Cooking for my family is such a joy, and when I get to cook for friends I love to show off. After telling my Superman and girls that I wanted to be on Master Chef for the last....well all of the seasons, I'm doing it. I filled out my registration online today to go to the o
