This month’s recipe comes from Jodi Branco of Chowchilla, Calif. Many know Jodi and know that she is one heck of a mom in the kitchen. I had the chance to try her very tasty Potato Salad, and I couldn’t help myself and had to get two more plates of it! At the BBQ it was all the rage, and such a simple recipe! With summer here, this is the perfect meal to have for lunch or even dinner! I know I’ll be bringing it to many BBQ’S in the future and I hope all of you give it a try! Happy summer and stay cool!
5 lbs. russet potatoes
1 red onion
6 hard-boiled eggs
Two 16-oz cans black olives
6 stalks celery
1 lb. bacon
Mayonnaise to bind it all together
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool, and chop. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil; cover, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop. Cook bacon, crumble. Cut eggs, olives, celery and onion. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, eggs, celery, onion, olives and mayonnaise until everything sticks together. Mix together well and refrigerate until chilled; salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

Who doesn’t love a good breakfast to get the day going – oh, and a cup of coffee, of course! This month I wanted to share a recipe that is not only a kickstart for the long day but something everyone will love. Sunnyside Up Breakfast Casserole, full of flavor and easy to make, plus the ingredients are most likely already in your fridge and pantry. Makes for a full breakfast or a great brunch meal! After all, with longer summer days, that means more time in the practice arena, so make sure you start your day off right!

This month’s recipe is one I just can’t get enough of! It’s comforting and full of flavor, something everyone will love. One Pot Lasagna Soup– who doesn’t love a nice home-cooked lasagna, the melted cheese and the rich taste of tomato. This soup tastes so close to that traditional lasagna but so much easier to assemble! Being a one-pot dish makes cleaning the kitchen a dream. Give it a try, enjoy with a glass of wine and happy cooking!
