It’s summertime and with the season comes lots of picnic and party foods–the perfect time to make an easy potato salad recipe.
Now, if you’ve been reading Faithful Provisions very long, then you know that for some time now I have been diligently moving my family over to a healthier eating style. I’ve always preferred cooking from scratch, but in addition to that, more and more now we’re choosing organic foods and opting for lots more heart healthy foods in our diet.
As a busy mom, however, there are going to be times that I take a few shortcuts, and that’s okay. As a southern girl, there are going to be times when I need to indulge in comfort food, and that’s okay too.
Philadelphia Cooking Creme Recipe of the Month for May is this easy Philadelphia Summer Potato Salad, and it satisfies those days when busy mom meets southern girl–deliciously!
This will be a great side dish for taking to picnics, potlucks, Memorial Day and July 4th events this summer.
