{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Quick Bacon Potato Salad

 

I’m trying to get these sent today (No, I didn’t have them prepared ahead of time) before yet another thunderstorm arrives.  We’ve had one bad one this morning and one lesser one, but a really severe one is headed our way from the North-west, which is NOT NORMAL!  Those that don’t come from the southwest are usually more severe. I’ve given up on going to the farmer’s market today.  It makes me say, but I still have a few tomatoes and green beans so since corn hasn’t arrived yet, it won’t “KILL” me to miss one week.

Sending more sides for your 4th picnic!
