If Macs Aren't Your Thing

Nope, not talking computers. (I bet those who know my husband and our family's complete loyalty to the Apple brand thought I was!!) Macs as in macaroni salad. As in the recipe I posted yesterday. I'm on a Memorial Day picnic, cook out, barbecue, roll and variety is important. If macaroni salad isn't your idea of a yummy side dish, maybe potato salad is. I have a ton of recipes for this old stand by, but we're always willing to try a new one:) Alex has requested my Coney Dogs (January 10, 2010) for the holiday and I figured this would be a great addition. The thing that caught my eye while reading this over at The Hungry Housewife was the addition of garlic. I can honestly say I don't think any of my recipes include garlic; and w/ us loving anything w/ garlic I figured this was right up our alley. So be it macaroni or potato, hamburgers or hot dogs, corn on the cob or baked beans--I hope your Memorial Day is very happy, safe, filled w/ loved ones and tasty tasty food!
