A Favorite Summer Breakfast For The Kids

I came across this recipe while reading Taste of the South recipe and know that my grandchildren will enjoy it for our 4th of July gathering. They will think that they are eating dessert for breakfast-and it almost tastes just as good.
Breakfast Cobbler
2 Tablespoons butter
6 apples peeled, cored and cut into one inch chunks
1 Tablespoon light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons fresh blueberries
8 oz good quality granola
1/4 cup vanilla yogurt
In a large skiller, melt butter over medium high heat. Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves, tossing to combine. Cook until apples release their juices and have just begun to soften, approximately 10 minutes. Divide apples among 6 serving bowls. Top each with blueberries, granola, and yogurt. Serve warm.

Jellybeans Children's Boutique is in Southern Lady

A few months ago, Kelly and I decided that we needed to step up our marketing and advertise in a national magazine. After much research, we concluded that Southern Lady would give us the best exposure for our product and dollar. The demographics fit our ideal customer profile. Today, Penny, the mail lady, brought the first issue that includes our ad. Addison, Kelly's adorable granddaughter, is wearing CoCo BonBons and Pediped shoes. Our ad is in the boutique advertising section. This months magazine features a yummy lemon pie on the cover and frozen pineapple daiquiri's. There are also articles on St. Augustine and the art of Kite Flying. Please purchase this beautiful magazine and shop at http://www.shopjellybeans.com/.

MeMe's Potato Salad - Here's the Secret

Whenever we have a family gathering or special occasion, I am always asked to bring the potato salad. I have tried to tell my family and friends exactly how it is made, but they swear that it doesn't taste the same. Here are the secrets. Use five pounds red skinned potatoes. Peel and boil cubes of potatoes in well salted water. Throw in three eggs to boil around the last ten minutes-this just saves on clean up time. When done, drain potatoes and leave in pot to cool. This is what helps them keep their shape and not turn into mashed potato salad. When completely cool start adding mayo or Miracle Whip-never use reduced fat-and squirt in mustard. Salt and pepper again to taste. Chop boiled eggs and use Mt Olive sweet gherkins that have been cubed into small pieces-pickle relish just doesn't get it. Add chopped olives stuffed with pimentos for their tart flavor and color. You have to taste as you go-keep plenty of spoons available to avoid double dipping. Add mayo and mustard until you get that perfect blend of flavors. We don't add onions or celery, because the children and Michael just can't stand either raw. If done right, this recipe creates the perfect potato salad-at least as far as the Bailey's are concerned. Remember, completely cool the potatoes and never use pickle relish-always chopped gherkins. Oh, I almost forgot another secret, pour in a little pickle juice when adding in the gherkins. YUMMY!
