Recipe Wednesday: A Brand New Twist on the Same Ol' THANG!!!

 We just LOVE our potato salad around here! In fact, the caramelized onion and bacon potato salad is one 

of the highest rated recipes on The MotherHOOD!! 

As it is often stated "Necessity is the mother of invention." A necessity brought about an invention: My VAST collection of dips mixes was about to expire & since they get all weird & clumpy when that happens...I thought, 

"WHAT IF?" 

Enter In

CILANTRO & JALAPENO POTATO SALAD
 ~You could use any dip mix you have: Garlic, Bacon & Sundried Tomato, Dill, Ranch, Chipotle Bacon....the possibilities are as endless as your pantry contents!

Menu Mondays: June17-23

 I don't know what is about Summer and Mexican Food, 

but it seems to go together like: 

• peanut butter & jelly, 
• cereal & milk, 
•  kool aid & sugar, 

it just fits! 

I love the unique taste of cilantro, the tang of lime, 
smokey heat of the chipotle tempered with the cool 
& creamy finish of an avocado!

Yum, YUM! If you love Mexican food like my family does you will appreciate this week's menu!
