Mustard Potato Salad
Comments (0)
Potato salad is as American as apple pie, and is a staple for picnics and other outdoor gatherings. I have never been a huge fan of the thick mayonnaise kind, but I actually like this version with mustard. It still has mayo, but the mustard cuts through and gives it some tang. Try this simple recipe whenever you are having your next get together, it is quick, easy and delicious.
Cold Tuna Casserole
Comments (0)
This was my Father's take on a pasta salad. He would make this recipe for dinner and then we would take the leftovers for lunch. It was great on hot summer days when you wanted something cool, but still filling. This would make a great addition to any picnic or outdoor barbecue as well, just substitute chicken for the tuna, or leave the meat out completely.

This is a version of my Great Aunt Cindi's recipe. I love beef potpie, but don't always have the time to make it. This quick casserole has all the same flavors but is super easy to prepare.

Egg Salad Sandwiches
Comments (0)
I never understood egg salad sandwiches until recently. For some reason they never appealed to me until I decided to try one at my favorite sandwich shop. Wow, was I surprised at how good it was! I immediately came home and started working on my own quick recipe. You can add pretty much anything you want: pickles, relish, or celery, but I prefer to keep mine simple. Try it out sometime if you are skeptical, like I was. I promise you will become a fan!
Pineapple Jalapeno Pizza
Comments (0)
There is a little pizza place in our town that serves my boyfriend’s favorite pizza. When I first heard him order the pineapple and jalapeno pizza I thought it sounded strange, but after trying it, I discovered it is actually very good! They use the large chunks of pineapple on their version, but you can also use crushed or smaller chunks if you prefer them. We make ours like the original, with just pineapple and jalapeno, but feel free to throw in some other ingredients as well. Canadian bacon is a great choice to pair with this quick recipe.
