Weekly Song

 

I heard this on our local Christian radio station and really enjoyed it. 

Our Weekly Snapshot

 Here’s a look back at our week: 

On Saturday, Nate came home from Lincoln Lake! He had a great week. 

Then we attended an open house for our friend, Garrett. 

On Sunday I met up with my book club - we don’t actually read anything because we only get together once a year when everyone is in town! 

Next it was time for camp at Michawana! 

Boy was it hot this week.  Those feels like temps were rough! 

The heat was followed by some pretty Smokey skies! 

On Friday I picked my guys up from another great week of camp! 

Weekly Menu

 A few weeks ago I asked each person in my family to give me a list of their five favorite meals and one thing they would like to never eat again, 🤣. I’m now planning my menu based off of those suggestions! 

Friday - Pancakes, eggs and bacon

Saturday - I have a school reunion that I’m hoping to convince the whole family to attend with me 🤣

Sunday - bbq chicken on the grill, roasted zucchini and baked beans 

Monday - Spaghetti Carbonara and French bread

Tuesday - shrimp and grits 

Wednesday- biscuits and gravy 

Thursday - BBQ cups and fties 

Recipe Fun - Potato salad

 I haven't shared a recipe in awhile so I decided it was high time to do so!  Plus this is a recipe I was sure I had posted before but when I went looking for it on my blog I couldn't find it on the list.  

Now, I know that everyone has a potato salad that they feel is the best but, guess what?  I think mine is the best!  It is actually a spin off of a recipe my sister-in-law Debby used to make,  I tweak it to be just what we liked and it remains a favorite to this day.  I think it originally started out has a warm German potato salad recipe and morphed into an American cold version but that could just be in my head. HA!  

Potato Salad

8 potatoes, peeled, diced

4-5 eggs, hard boiled and sliced

1 pound of bacon, cooked and crumbled

salt and peper to taste

Dressing:

1 1/2 cups of Mayo

1/4 cup of sugar

1/4 cup of Italian dressing

Cook the diced potatoes just until fork tender.  Combine the eggs, potatoes, and bacon in a large bowl.  Add salt and pepper.

Mix the three dressing ingreadients in a small bowl

Pour the dressing over the potato mixture while the potato's are still warm.  Mix well.  Place in a covered bowl in the refrigerator.  These are best served the next day but can be served while it is still warm as well. 

** I stir mine a few times as it sits in the fridge in order to mix up the dressing well and combine flavors.
