So Soup Me..



So THIs just may very well be the BEST chicken Vegging soup Ive ever had! Ask anyone who kows me.. I CANNOT MAKE SOUP.. I just can't.. however since I've decided to start selling Epicure to make a little cash I HAVE to use their products so i can talk about them. Well the CHICKEN BOUILLON is TOPS!

AMAZING flavour.. 1/2 tsp to 1 cup water adn voila!  So i did 6 cups of broth with some fresh carrots and celery and chicken breast. Threw in some Epicure 3onion mix and it is amazing! Oddly enough the company promises to make you a better cook an dif you dont agree we will reimburse your money.. thats how SURE they are of their products! And I will say.. Im finding already that this wont be a hard sell.. the products are excellent.. top knotch.. can't wait for my first show!

Potato Salad

So...I cannot stop thinking about how nice it would be to have a BARBEQUE right now...but, there's no way that's happening. So...I'll settle for some other summer food: Potato Salad. And...I hate to brag, but...really, I don't think I've had anyone's potato salad that tastes as good as this. Its my mom's recipe, and pretty simple, but...sooooo good. Not healthy, but...very tasty!!

Potato Salad
Boil 6 - 8 medium sized potatoes, however you normally do. (I made mine into smaller chunks than normal so they'd cook faster.)

In a mixing bowl, mix:
3/4 cup mayonnaise (I use Hellmann's, which I'm pretty sure is the ONLY way to go! Mom uses Miracle Whip...which I'm not a huge fan of.)
1 Tbsp. cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 cup coleslaw salad dressing
3-4 Tbsp. evaporated milk
Mix it up really good so the sugar dissolves. Then add about 1/3 cup chopped celery and chopped onion. Then add in your cooked potato. I kinda like mine pretty mashed up, but you can chop your potatoes or whatever you like! Add 3-4 chopped, boiled eggs, and put in the fridge. You'll probably want a couple bites of it warm, though - seriously delicious. I don't add salt and pepper to mine in the bowl, but I definetely do on my plate - everyone has a different tolerance for that, so I think its easier to just let them add their own.

So, there it is. I have mine cooling down in the fridge right now. Then I will be taking it to my mom's for a Potluck feast of lasagna, baked beans, and other yummy salads!! Mmmmm!!

I can't wait 'til summer.
