I mentioned the other day that my arm was not doing well, I was feeling better yesterday but not enough to cook a normal meal. The easiest dish to make was a salad and this one is my hubby's favorite andddddd this is also one of my mother - in - laws recipes. :) I remember when she was still hosting parties that everyone use to jump right into this salad first! I couldn't understand why but it was always the first dish to go.Chopping the potatoes and pickles were a challenge, it took me a quite a while to get it done but for the rest of the ingredients I just picked up a package of frozen peas and carrots and added into the potatoes to boil. I just wanted to emphasize that for this recipe after boiling the veggies they need to be drain from excess water all night long. I asked my mother in law what was the reason for draining it all night long and she responded with "It seems to me that it just tastes better" hahahaha...it really is up to you if you want to wait to eat it the following day. But to be honest I have been doing this step for years and I think she just might have a point. :)

Olivier salad (Russian: салат Оливье, tr. salat Olivye) is a traditional salad dish in Russian cuisine, which is also popular in other post-Soviet countries and around the world. In different modern recipes, it is usually made with diced boiled potatoes, carrots, brined dill pickles (or cucumber), green peas, eggs, celeriac, onions, diced boiled chicken or bologna sausage (sometimes ham or hot dogs), and tart apples, with salt, pepper, and mustard added to enhance flavor, dressed with mayonnaise. In many countries, the dish is commonly referred to as Russian salad. Created by Lucien Olivier.

In Croatian this is called "Francuska Salata". This Croatian version has no meat. Little did I know it's a traditional Russian Salad made throughout different countries all over the world. It's a creamy potatoe salad that has amazing additions!

Have you ever bought a bag of carrots at Costco? So many carrots, so few ideas. My grandson said "let's cook Pappaw!" He's only 3 years old and I wanted him to have a good cooking experience that was easy enough for him to do. I looked in the fridge and saw this humongous bag of carrots. So, we got the food processor out and started to work. He loved it. It was easy, tasty, and a great experience for a 3 year old. When finished he said "Pappaw, I mixed it all by myself!" A Kodak moment for sure.
