So Dan and the "Bigs" have been gone in Arizona for a couple of days, but they return today and I am SO excited! I've missed them tons, but Keiran has missed them beyond belief. Today he was walking down the hallway, with a sad stoop in his walk, talking to himself saying, "I'm not having any fun today. Same ol' basket (looking at a laundry basket). Same ol' walls..." lolololol!!! He's 3! Same ol' basket, same ol' walls!?!??!?!!!?! The kid kills me!
Now onto the FUN part of our day!
My friend, Julie, and I threw a Daddy/Daughter
Father's Day Picnic and Kickball Game
This was SO MUCH FUN and a great way to spend an evening with just the Activity Day girls and their dads (and a few Greding kids thrown into the mix!)
Now for food. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE my mom's potato salad. BEST potato salad I've ever tasted. LOVE it. Problem is-- she doesn't really have a recipe for it. She just starts adding all these ingredients together and--- MAGIC! It turns out incredible for her every time, but when I try to make it-- not so much.
SOOOOOOO- I now have MY potato salad recipe that I die for. I didn't make it up or anything (let's not go crazy!), but it is now my go to potato salad recipe and it is AMAZING! I made it for this picnic and was SO happy there was enough to bring home, so I could continue the eating fest into the wee small hours of the night.
I also made a Greek Couscous Salad and it was a little piece of heaven too! I have never even made couscous before and I have been missing out! It's my new fav food! LOVE IT! Where have I been!?!?! It's sooooooo easy and so much more flavorful than rice. Again-- I love it!
I'm hoping you mean vinegar instead of vanilla in the potato salad recipe. But I get it. We moms of many children are lucky to get ANYTHING straight sometimes! I was just worried that some "new" cook might not figure it out. I don't think vanilla would be good in potato salad!
Thanks for sharing!
