Loaded Baked Potato Salad {w/ recipes}

There's something you should know.

I don't like potato salad. 

It's true. I've never cared much for the stuff. At family reunions when my grandma tried to force feed me her famous potato salad, I respectfully declined with excuses of not having enough room on my plate or that I'd have some later. And in instances when excuses weren't accepted (Grandma is very persuasive), I spooned a little on to my plate and ate it. But not willingly.

Bacon Cheddar Pancakes {w/ recipes}

I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned it, but breakfast is my favorite meal. It's one of those things I could, for lack of a better phrase, eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In fact breakfast for dinner is my go to when I don't feel like cooking. I can scramble some eggs, toast some bread, or heck, just pour a bowl of cereal. But the creme de la creme, in my opinion, is pancakes.

I love waking up early on Saturday mornings and heating up the griddle.  Fluffy, light and buttery, flap jacks. You can top them with fresh fruit, or dot them with chocolate chips.  The possibilities are nearly endless. Be prepared to add another flavor combination to your repertoire: bacon and cheddar cheese. I saw this on the menu of a cafe once and was intrigued. Salty bacon, sharp chedder, with sweet maple syrup drizzling down the sides...helloo breakfast!
