I will not have a BBQ without potato salad. I’ve heard the scoffing, then I see the bowl scraped clean and I know what this means. Even if potato salad seems dated, it’s still a BBQ comfort food and always a hit. After making my first batch of the summer last weekend, then eating it for breakfast, I decided maybe I should branch out and try some new and exciting recipes. Could I, should I? After discovering some really amazing and drool worthy recipes I’ve decided to give it a go. And you should too, so take the jump…

Even though the school year is coming to a close I’m still looking for shortcuts in the morning. That’s when I decided to make one of my kids favorite breakfasts, potatoes, eggs and cheese in a mini muffin tin. Usually this breakfast is saved for the weekend because even with store bought shredded potatoes it still takes at least 20 minutes to make which doesn’t cut it for hurried weekday mornings. Now with a tiny bit of planning ahead (making it the day before), I can freeze these little potato nuggets and pop them in the microwave or roster oven for a quick breakfast even on the go.

Another Mayo Clinic Kids’ Cookbook recipe success. I’m really loving this cookbook and so are the kids. This cheesy zucchini was sophisticated enough for the adults in the house and whimsical enough to get kids excited about eating zucchini – which happens to be the one veggie my kids reject. The recipe was a success all around as there wasn’t a ring of caterpillar left! Take the jump to see how you can get your kids excited about zucchini’s…
Growing up every summer my mom would make her famous potato salad. My plate would be 3/4 potato salad, 1/4 whatever else and by the end of the meal my plate was licked clean. Mom would make a ton too so I could eat it for days. It’s so good I would wake up on a hot morning and eat a cold bowl for breakfast. Now that I’m a mom and I live far away, I make this myself every summer, and my summer started last weekend with some ribs and this potato salad. It was a huge hit with all the guests; everyone kept coming back for more…until I hid the rest in the back of the fridge for breakfast. Keep reading for how you can make this crowd pleasing BBQ side…
Cobblers are my favorite summertime dessert, and the only thing better is finding an easy recipe or a new way to serve it up. I definitely found some cheater versions as well as some new and quirky ways of making it. Keep reading for all the recipes…
Normally I would be posting some recipe that I made with my kids and we shared in the eating. Umm, that’s not the case today. While my daughter was in school and her brother was napping, I went hunting for a snack. I peeked in the fridge and saw a small tub of blackberries. Of course my mind raced to blackberry cobbler from my childhood, but with only a small amount of berries this recipe would never work. I could have used another fruit, but I didn’t have enough of any fruit to make it happen. Not to mention I wanted this treat right now, not in the hour plus it takes to prep and cook it. I’ve seen the 5 minute coffee cake in a mug and I thought, why not give cobbler a try? It worked and was devoured and I got to eat it in peace and not have to share. I will say this recipe is perfect for making with the kids and they will love it.
