Creating new recipes is one of my least favorite things in the entire world. It used to be part of my full-time job, and I hated doing it every week because I am just not that creative. So, now that I’m my own boss, I’m just going to share the awesome recipes that I find made by the creative and talented foodies out there. No need to reinvent the wheel, right?
This week’s recipe is a gorgeous potato salad from my childhood friend, Amanda Munden of Gouramanda. She creates these amazing recipes AND takes all of the gorgeous photos herself. I think she’s pretty great.
