Home grown tomatoes are my favorite summer food.

With Prilosec: Grilled turkey brats on whole wheat bun & homemade tater salad.

Without Prilosec: Just the bun please.

Thanks, for the chance! What a great RAOK.

Potato Salad:
Yukon Gold Potatoes
Pickle relish
Miracle Whip
Brown Spicy Mustard
Touch of Equal sweetener

I just nuke or boil a few taters & put the rest in by taste. Voila! I like a touch of equal, but you may not. I also add boiled eggs when I'm wanting to live dangerously.

This is a potluck favorite of ours:

24-hr salad

2 heads lettuce (head, romaine, whatever), chopped
Bacon, cut/crumbled into bits
1 Tomato, diced
3 Boiled Eggs, chopped or sliced
1 small package of frozen peas
Parmesan cheese
Mayonnaise
1 tsp sugar
Parsley
1 glass bowl or pan (if you want to see the layers)
Optional (my family doesn't like): 1/2 can of water chestnuts
2 stalks of celery chopped

Spread lettuce over bottom of bowl in layer. If you like crunch, put a layer of celery and water chestnuts over lettuce. Then put a layer of FROZEN peas over that. Then spread mayo over pea layer. Sprinkle parmesan cheese and 1 tsp of sugar over mayo. Cover the bowl and place in refrigerator overnight.

Next day before serving, spread tomatoes, boiled eggs, and bacon bits over top. You can garnish with parsley if you like.
