apple, celery seed, cider vinegar, fresh herbs, Garlic, red onion, smoked bacon

My mother didn’t make German Potato Salad, but my grandmother did.  Unlike most versions, hers went into the oven.  I rather prefer the roasted version…the potatoes are a better texture and they brown up nicely. Continue reading →

We tend to overlook celery much too often.  Oh sure, we eat celery stick with Buffalo wings and on veggie trays with dips.  But they don’t really let celery shine, do they?  In this salad, celery has the starring roll. This is delicious for a dinner party and is best made several hours before serving.  Trust me when I tell you, your guests will want more! Continue reading →

celery heart, corn kernels, frozen peas, iceberg lettuce, mayonnaise, Scallions, Tomatoes

Back in the day when “cracker” was something you ate with soup or put cheese or peanut butter on, my mother used to make this salad.  I had completely forgotten about it.  Of course, there was no recipe that she left behind.  I was dicing a tomato and some scallions, and the memory of it came flooding back.  Thank goodness for food memories.
