This is my grandmaw's version of potato salad. I have grew up eating this side dish for years and it is so delicious. One of my favorite ways of eating it is with BBQ baby back ribs that have been smoked on the smoker, mac & cheese and a nice dinner roll to go on the side. Also do not forget to add that delicious glass of ice cold sweet tea. Is your mouth watering yet?

Nicoise salad is such a stunner of a salad. Believe it or not, there is lettuce beneath that mound of toppings but the toppings are what really make it!. This classic French tuna salad is filled with so many salty, briny, crunchy ingredients that you can add or take away as you please. There are lots of opinions about what goes on a traditional French Nicoise salad, but just play around with what you like best! I added one of my favorite ingredients—pesto—to the dressing for a bright, herby flavor. If you like broccoli more than green beans, use that instead. You could also throw on roasted potatoes rather than boiled ones. Instead of tuna, this salad is also delicious with baked salmon—just flake it into chunks before adding it. This is one of my favorite easy, satisfying, healthy meal ideas. You only have to cook a few ingredients—most of the others come from a jar!

I think I speak for the masses when I say that scrambled eggs are one of the most delicious, timeless, enjoyable dishes ever created. It’s the first thing I ever learned to cook with my mom at three years old, standing beside her on a chair, with a kitchen towel “apron” wrapped around my waist. Its the culinary embodiment of sheer simplicity and pure magic.

You know how they say something is as easy as pie? Well, here's something even easier. Open-face tarts, galettes, and crostatas deliver the fruit-filled promise of pie but with a lot less fuss. Just so you know, galettes and crostatas have free-form fold-up pastry bases and are so similar they might as well be twins separated at birth, with the galette growing up in France and the crostata in Italy. Tarts are usually, but not always, made in a tart pan. But don't sweat the distinctions unless you're in pastry school. Whatever you call them, these easy fruit desserts offer a more relaxed approach to summer baking. Read on to get 18 favorite recipes for summertime tarts, galettes, and crostatas.
