What’s for Dinner? Mama’s Potato Salad, Fried Summer Squash, Boiled Shrimp, and a Fresh Green Salad

   

Mama's Recipe

   My mom is pretty well known for her potato salad. We used to eat it as soon as she had it finished, still pipping hot. I got her to write down the ingredients for me a while back, and it has been sitting in my recipe binder ever since. I wanted to make a potato salad that was true to her recipe, but I am the only one who will eat it at my house so I had to downsize.

Mama’s Potato Salad (My Version)

Ingredients:

 1 lb. Petite Red Potatoes

2 Boiled Eggs

2 Slicesof Bacon

3 tbsp.  sour cream

1 tbsp.  Mayo

1 tsp. Vinegar

1 tbsp. Pampered Chef’sAll-Purpose Dill Mix

1 tbsp.  Sweet relish

1 tbsp.  Chopped Onion

Directions:

1. Boil potatoes. Boil eggs. Cook bacon.
2. Meanwhile, mix all other ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside. (I prefer to put mine in the fridge for at least 15 minutes while everything else finishes cooking.)
3. Pat bacon free of any remaining grease. Crumble and add to mixing bowl.
4. Drain potatoes. Chop into 1/2 inch pieces. Add to mixing bowl.
5. Drain eggs. Peel. Chop into 1/2 inch pieces. Add to mixing bowl.
6. Use electric mixer on low speed to blend all ingredients together.
7. Serve chilled.

I-Forgot-to-Thaw-Out-the-Beef (Chicken) Stroganoff

I have got to be one of the worst women ever when it comes to remembering to put meat out to thaw for supper. I don't like having to defrost stuff in the microwave, but if I have to, I prefer it be a Schwan's product since they have microwave directions.

 

Ingredients:

4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

6oz.        bow-tie noodles

¾ c.        sour cream

¼ c.        All-purpose flour

1 can      chicken broth

¼ tsp.    salt and pepper

8 oz.       mushroom, sliced (you can use fresh or canned, it really doesn’t matter)

1              medium onion, chopped

2              #418 RawStuffed Chicken Breast with Rib Meat Pot Pie from Schwan’s (thawed)

1 clove  garlic, pressed

2 tbsp.  parsley

 

Directions:

1.  Cook bacon on medium heat until crisp. Crumble and set aside.
2.  Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and keep warm. Meanwhile, whisk together sour cream, flour, chicken broth, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set mixture aside.
3.  Slice mushrooms, chop onion, and slice chicken into ¼ in strips. Place in the bottom of a large pan and cook on high for 5 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink and the onions have begun to soften.
4. Add bacon to pan. Stir in sour cream mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in parsley. Serve over noodles.
