Greetings!
Labor Day weekend is one of my favorite times. The holiday usually falls on my birthday so there are two reasons to celebrate! Although this year I'm turning 63 years old!
We always have a BBQ to celebrate both occlusions and here's a dish that never misses a
Classic All-American Potato Salad.
It is creamy, tangy, and a true picnic favorite that seems to disappear fast at any gathering.
Be Well,
