I have now made this recipe twice and I figure I should write it down or I will forget it. If I'm going to write it down, I might as well write it on here so everyone can see it! I made this the first time for Riley's birthday party and it was a huge hit. I made it again for 4th of July dinner and my Aunt-in-law loved it so much she asked to borrow a cooler so she could take some home (she lives two hours away and she wanted to make sure it stayed cool!). Anyway...here's the recipe: )
10 red potatoes, scrubbed and washed
24 oz mayonnaise
1/4 cup yellow mustard4-5 celery stalks, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
12 oz sweet relish
Salt, pepper and paprika to taste
6 hard boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil for 15 or so minutes (cooking time will depend on size of potatoes), until potatoes are soft. Remove from pot and set aside to cool. In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, celery, green onions, relish and seasonings. When potatoes are cool chop into cubes and stir into mayo mixture. I always add the eggs last and stir gently so they don't end up pulverized: ) Cool for at least an hour before serving. Both times I made this, I made it a day ahead to let the flavors combine.

Angel Chicken Spectacular Spaghetti Squash
Today my kitchen smells amazing. Probably because I am making two delicious recipes! Yay experimentation! One recipe is my own, and the other one is from my favorite recipe website, AllRecipes. I made a couple changes to each and am going to try combining them later. Here's what I'm up to...
My own recipe is the Spectacular Spaghetti Squash. I left out the cheese and only used minced garlic, salt, pepper and basil to season all the veggies (which were half an onion, 1 red bell pepper and a cup of sliced mushrooms). I also used about half the amount of butter. That was cooked in the oven, scooped with a fork and is now waiting for the chicken to get done.
As for the other recipe, Angel Chicken Pasta is one my mom discovered several years ago. It is amazing and I have always loved it, even when I didn't really like chicken (quick sidenote, we have always doubled the sauce). For this recipe, I used half the amount of chicken (mainly because I buy organic chicken and it is expensive!) and used 1 can of cream of mushroom with roasted garlic soup and 1 can of cream of onion soup. I mixed the soup with a half cup of plain, nonfat yogurt, 1 dressing packet and about a half cup of water and poured it over the chicken I had placed in my crock pot. That's been going on high for about two hours so it should be done soon!
If you haven't guessed already, my plan is to put the angel chicken mixture over the spaghetti squash in place of noodles. I'm pretty sure the result will be deliciousness but I will post in the comments how everything turns out: )
