This Simple Potato Salad Recipe has hints of lemon and paprika in it and is made with russet potatoes, eggs, garlic powder and is seasoned just right.
Let me tell you, this recipe is something special. Just cause I call it a Simple Potato Salad recipe does not mean it is not GREAT!
I can say that because I was never much of a fan of potato salad. Probably because the kind I was used to was to sweet and full of mayo. But this one is different and super tasty!
There is nothing like homemade potato salad, nothing. So if you’re looking for one that is a bit different than the average potato salad recipe out there than your going to want to try this one.
I came up with this recipe recently as I wanted to bring something a bit different to a potluck party I was attended. It turned out to be a major hit with everybody!
For this recipe I made a separate dressing on the side, then once the potatoes and eggs cooked and cooled I combined them all together by mashing with a potato masher.
Then poured the chilled dressing overtop to combine.
My dressing calls for full fat mayonnaise, so if your wanting a lower calories dressing. Then feel free to use a lighter variety or substube half of the mayo with plain yogurt.
You can use just about any type of potato to make this potato salad, however I like to use the russets because the skin just peels off very nicely once cooked.
And that is exactly what you will want to do. Simply bring a large pot of boiling water to a rapid bowl, then dump in the potatoes slowly and allow them to cook till fork tender.
Once cooked you will simply strain the water out and soak them in ice water till cooled. Once cooled all you will need to do is peel the potatoes with your hands. Easy enough eh!
If your wanting to feed less people or more peoples simply use my recipe adjuster above. The ingredients amounts with change according to how many people you want to prepare this for.

This African Pepper Goat Soup is hails from Western Africa, but mostly Nigeria. So if your into spicy foods then you are sure to love this soup recipe.
You can substitute the goat meat for lamb, chicken, fish, tripe and or chicken gizzards if you prefer.
All work well in this type of broth. I have tried all those meat’s and must say goat is my favorite by far, because it’s lean and has a very unique taste that I love.
I have learned to prepare several African dishes in my home over the years and have come to love the flavors from this part of the world.
Now I want you to be forewarned that this is very spicy soup so feel free to add less spice if can’t handle much heat.
NIGERIAN PEPPER SOUP INGREDIANTS
WHAT DOES African Pepper Goat Soup TASTE LIKE
Spicy, meaty and soothing! I say soothing because I find it really is so very tasty!
HOW TO MAKE African Pepper Goat Soup
Start by brining a large stock pot of water to a boil
Then add in the goat meat and reduce the heat to medium heat
Add in all your spices and seasonings
Simmer covered on low heat for 1 hour to serve.
Note: You can cook the onions, garlic and ginger fresh if desired. Just be sure to cook it prior to boiling the meat in 1 tsp of oil to ensure it is cooked.
It is made with a few ingredients that are hard to find here in Canada and so I have made a few substitutes.
The main differences with my soup recipe versus traditional African pepper soup is the type of pepper used.
Traditional pepper soup is made with a few ingredients that are hard to find here in Canada and so I have made a few substitutes.
Like I will use Kale instead of the bitter leaf in the soup, it’s quite similar and more accessible here in Canada.
Then I’ll add some fresh chopped chives in replace of the onions as well, so good. The main differences with my pepper soup recipe versus traditional African pepper soup is the type of pepper used.
Traditional pepper soups call for aka chili or negro pepper. Which is not always easy to find, so I use “Scotch Bonnet Sauce” since i always have that Jamaican sauce in my fridge at all times and it works so well here.
I will make this soup when I’m craving something warm and spicy!
Try to get your hands on the “original “Maggi beef cubes” if you cannot find feel free to use “Maggi Chicken cubes or another brand that you like.

Note: This soup can also be done in a “Slow Cooker” or “Pressure Cooker” just make sure you are using a boneless meat for those processes.

This Dill Pickle and Black Forest Pasta Salad is a fantastic and easy recipe for any of those upcoming summer gatherings!
I hope you give this light and tasty Summer pasta salad a try!
This is best served slightly chilled the day of vs the next day, because if it’s left in the fridge for to long it can become dry.
So if there is just the two of you please use the recipe adjuster here and make just enough for what you need.
Other than that this recipe is a winner as it’s not laddled with any high fat dressing.
Rather we are using a creamy plain yogurt and then adding some pickle juice, a touch of mayo, olive oil and spices that make it all come together very well.
What kind of Dill Pickle ? Pasta Salads have you tried in the past? Why not give this lighter version a try this time.
This one is creamy enough to satisfy pretty much anyone, however is made lighter than the average pickle pasta salad you may find out there.
Since it’s mostly made with plain yogurt, dill pickle juice and just 1 tbsp of mayonnaise.
I much prefer using more yogurt over mayonnaise as it lightens up the dish and keeps me in better shape.
Pickle Salad Perfection!
Notes: The colder the salad the better it taste, so try to chill it in the fridge for one at least one hour prior to serving.
