Old Fashioned Potato Salad
Along with the chili (below), mac and cheese (recipe to come) and pulled pork (see”Carnitas”) sammies, we’re making potato salad for the 60 or so people coming over on Saturday for the kiddo’s 3rd birthday party. I know! We’re bonkers. But it’s fun because I have the best team of Nanas and Papas and Daddies…

Cooking by the Camp Fire
I went all out at this year’s annual 4th o’ July camping trip. No, I didn’t stay up late, hooting and hollering over charades. In fact, I was in bed before the kids most nights. And no, I didn’t start my day with Mary’s and continue with beers/wine until sundown. Rather, I prepped and cooked…

Well in our little hometown, we’re usually blanketed in coastal fog June through August which makes it super chilly and wet. So given the rarity (and desire not to “cook”), our family celebrated the Summer’s bounty with a…

Meat sneaks into my salad
I love salads garnished with meat for dinner. Some favs include salmon salad, thai beef salad, vietnamese salad (that one comes with egg rolls too – so of course it’s scrumptious), nicoise salad…I could go on. And I will in other posts when I throw these together and finally take a photo of them. Today’s…
