Bacon Potato Salad
"My sister found this recipe in a Taste of Home cookbook. We both made it for our families and all the kids gobbled it up and my kids won't touch potato salad. My husband who is a potato salad fan said it is a keeper. The recipe calls for 4 cups of potatoes, but we both used about 5 cups and best if refrigerated several hours until cold. I also put the chopped onion in the bottom of the collander and drained the potatoes into it to take just a little crip out of the onions."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a stay-at-home mom of a 1 year old boy and a 4 year old girl. I love to cook, collect cookbooks, read, cross stitch and play with my children.
My husband is an Elementary Principal. It's hard keeping up with his schedule because of all the meetings and events he needs to attend. So, I'm always trying to keep meal planning simple and quick, because many time's he gives me short notice that he'll only be home for 30 min. then off to a meeting or supervising an event.
Growing up my mother worked until 5pm and would come home and make a home cooked meal. We very rarely ate out. For me to be to stay at home I wonder how she was able to do it all.
My favorite meals that she made were comfort food: goulash, minute steaks with mashed potatoes and gravy, pork chops with gravy and potatoes, beef stew over rice, chicken noodle soup, vegetable beef soup among many others. Everything she makes is from scratch. I won't forget once when I told her I made instant potatoes, I thought she was going to have a heart attack (I still use instant every now and then, just don't let her know).
We also spent a lot of time with our grandmother's who knew how to cook.
