Mom's Potato Salad and Lick the Bowl Good's Pulled Pork Sandwich

Wow! It's hot out! We aren't used to this much humidity with the heat. It's dragging on and on. I guess they call these days the dog days of summer.

Anyway, I decided to make some of my Mom's potato salad. It turned out great, but it was a little off from the flavor the way she makes it. I will definitely try making it again. Practice makes perfect right?

Here is her recipe for Mom's Potato Salad:

6-8 potatoes diced and boiled until soft
8 hard boiled eggs (4 for in the salad, 4 for on the top)
1 cup or more of miracle whip lite (may need more depending on how big potatoes are)
2-3 tsp. sugar
2-3 tsp. salt
2-3 tsp. pepper

Mix all of it together and then slice hard boiled eggs to top the potato salad. Delicious!

Then to go with the potato salad I made this pulled pork sandwich recipe.

Strawberry & Spinach Salad and SnickerDoodle Cheerio Cookies

A few weekends ago we went camping. I brought a few different things to share with my family.

First I wanted a salad to contribute to the meal. I made this Strawberry and Spinach Salad It was great! It tasted like strawberry jam. I will definitely make it again! When anything is close to 5 stars on Allrecipes.com then you know it's going to be good!

For dessert and snacking I brought these awesome Snicker Doodle Cheerio Cookies! They were just the right texture for a cookie and sugary on the outside. I have made a few different recipes from noblepig.com and all of the recipes have been awesome! My whole family loved them! Except my son...Lukas will only eat cookies that have chocolate in them. I am not even kidding! If he doesn't see chocolate he isn't eating it!
