(This is Mom’s recipe..I change it up just a little I only use mayonnaise, no sugar and no milk)
I have to tell you a little story about my cooking adventure! Well first off, the bacon burned, not just a little..like full on smoke detectors in the house went off and that was even with the oven door closed! Ya, pretty bad.
So…to fix that, hubby got some bacon bits from the store to rescue me, instead of mixing them in we sprinkled them on top. Ya, it was OK, but freshly cooked bacon throughout it …
would have been so much better.
Hopefully next time, I’ll be a little more attentive to my cooking bacon!

Simple Deviled Eggs

Now for the egg story…. I pretty much cook by how much I think I need of something..so I guess you could say I cook “by taste”
Well…cooking by look and taste this time
I uhhh…..
added WAY too much seasoning salt . Oh, they were plain out Nasty! I added a little sugar to cut out the salty-ness, but then I had to add some garlic powder to fix the sugary-ness.

That potato salad recipe has a few differences from mine. I am definitely going to try yours out. The combo of Miracle Whip and mayo sound interesting. Thanks for the idea just in time for summer.
