MOM'S HERB POTATO SALAD
Cherished Picnic
Memories
Spring is in the air, and with it comes a perfect picnic
season. These recipes make for a tasty lunch while you
enjoy the sunshine!

A-TISKET, A-TASKET, a green and yellow basket. My mother
used to recite this nursery rhyme to us when we were young and sure
enough, she had a green and yellow picnic basket. We knew that
whenever that basket would appear, something magical was about
to happen...a picnic!
A big bowl of her potato salad, deviled eggs, watermelon, fried
chicken and her famous lemon curd cookies would tumble out of
the basket onto the blanket she would lovingly spread on the green
grass kissed by the sunshine.
It is in honor of that memory that I present to you some of my
favorite picnic recipes.

was that it not only tasted so delicious, she took
