Healthier Potato Salad Recipe

Create a healthier potato salad recipe inspired from  your garden that’s so easy your kids can make it with you!  Our kid friendly summer recipes will be a hit in the backyard this summer with your family.

Here’s how to make this loaded potato salad.  

Kid Friendly Summer Recipe for Potato Salad


In preparation for theOrlando Food and Wine Conference next month, I am challenging myself to enter the amazing conference contests.  It is safe to say that I am a little out of my element when sharing my recipes with you.

In fact, I’m down right intimidated.

Have you seen the amazing food bloggers pictures and recipes???  Can you say WOW and YUM???  Here I am, cooking away in the kitchen with my three kiddos on a regular basis and having the time of my life.  We’re creating our own recipes and making things up as we go. I’m trying to make healthier choices while still creating kid-friendly meals.

Potatoes in the garden, ready to be harvested. FUN!  Send the kiddos out to dig them up and create something with what we have for dinner.  Yup, that’s my formal chef training – real life.

Kids Harvesting Potatoes from the Garden #gardeningwithkids
Maybe your a chef-in training like me – or maybe even one of those WOW food bloggers- either way, I’d love to connect with you at the conference! Join me at a discount rate using the $50 off code  EducatorsSpin at the online registration <here>

The reality is, that I am not a master chef, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE cooking, especially with my kids.  And so, I will share some of my self-created recipes with you.  Today – the VEGGIE LOADED POTATO SALAD.  My husband inhaled it and the kids ask for more. If I can get my family to eat a wider variety of vegetables, maybe it will help you too!

And, I’ll even enter it into the Davidson’s Safest Choice Eggs, No-Bake Summer Recipe contest!  Follow Safest Choice Eggs on Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest

    That potato salad looks great! I love cooking with my kids, too and definitely am not a master chef! We just started our garden with some veggies in it so we're looking forward to start cooking with our own home-grown food.
