It’s red, white, and blue flag-flying Friday Faves!

What a time to cheer and celebrate! World Cup fever — we’re on to round 16! — celebrations for the grand 250 years of the good old U.S. of A., and all that summer lovin’ including T Swift’s super secret surveilled wedding. If there’s one way to add to the multitude of festivities, it’s by sharing food with those you love, and there’s nothing better to share in summer than my grandma’s famous potato salad that I will definitely be making and partaking of. With 2000+ 5-star reviews, people say it’s just like the family recipe they’ve loved and missed, and it’s perfect for making ahead so you don’t miss out on any fun!
