I saw someone making French Onion Soup over on Instagram and decided to find a way to combine the two.

Continue ReadingSpring Potato Salad This Spring Potato Salad recipe has always been a favorite of mine. The creamy mayo, the celery seed and the addition of onion and crisp, tart green apple is what makes it unique. This recipe is best when made ahead of time and it sits in the fridge overnight. Potato Salad Stories I think it is safe to say that every family has their own Potato Salad recipe that they think is the best. They aren’t wrong. To them, their recipe is THE BEST!
