Sundays with Stephanie
9 Picnic Potluck Salad Recipes: A 4th of July Cake, Pretzel Salad, Brownies, and Exclusive Travel and "Art and Greet" event for subscribers
Happy Pre-4th of July! I greet you from my “True North Cabin” in Ely, Minnesota!
It was an emotional week as I said goodbye to my on-air friends @LoriJulia on @Mytalk1071 and @KendallMark from @JasonshowTv, who is coincidentally replacing them on the air at MyTalk. It’s a lot - I know. Here are some snaps from my phone for Subscribers.

You can watch the whole final broadcast, which I had a small part in here:
It's my first time back at the cabin since Memorial Day, and I am thrilled to be here. This morning, I woke up to loons, birds, and the sun. June has been very wet here, and all of our docks have water at the tippy top or over them, so we could use some drying out. I will assess the Ely hilltop garden this week, but based on Kurt's early reports, nothing is doing much growing, so stay tuned.
Speaking of the 4th, what are you making? Where are you going? I’d love to know your 4th of July dish - you know, the one you always bring to the party.
My radio partner, Stephanie March, offered up her blue cheese potato salad on our radio show, The Weekly Dish as her party offering.
Mine is coincidentally potato salad, too, with Janice’s potato salad. This potato salad has no eggs but is creamy, dilly, and a family favorite.
Here are a few other Potluck Salads to make any 4th of July party table tasty.

Vegan Potato Salad - thats right! no Mayo but lots of zippy vinaigrette
Potato salad with green beans and vinaigrette - this is a farmer's market salad that uses all the delightful green beans fresh from the farm.
Panzanella Salad holds up beautifully in the heat and is scrumptious with those first Summer tomatoes.
Grilled Peach Salad with blueberry dressing- This is a stunner on any table
Sun-dried Tomato Pasta Salad - is hearty and full of mozzarella balls and fresh Bail
Macaroni Noodle Salad with tuna - can be a meal in itself and tastes like your grandmas house in the Summer.
Toasted Almond Farro Apricot Salad - is always a hit at a party and has no Mayo!
Creamy Orzo Greek Pasta Salad is salty and wonderful with big hunks of Feta
Another Dilly macaroni Salad but this one is lighter with yogurt, lemon and tons of fresh Dill,
Speaking of the 4th of July, remember the epic episodes on the Food Network for the 4th, where every show had the perfect patriotic picnic spread and flag cakes?
I became obsessed with them. Martha Stewart, Sandra Lee’s semi homemade who is having a moment -and of course the OG, Ina Garten whose is of course the best!
This gallery of recipes from “Taste of Home” promises “vintage” July 4th recipes, which looked interesting too, with the Strawberry Pretzel Salad. Yes, they call it Salad
What I am Making:
This week was a toffee pretzel brownie week - I made it for Jason Show and also up on my You Tube channel with a recipe and video tutorial.
What I recorded:
Kurt made it into the “Taste Buds with Stephanie” as we recorded an episode on smoking and grilling meats with our friends Jethro and Amy from Big Guys BBQ Roadhouse in Hudson, Wisconsin. Get the steak rub i used in the recipe and my grilling tips here:
Where I am Going
Croatian Islands - 1 cabin open
A cabin opened up on my Croatia Trip on a private yacht. This trip sold out in three days and is going to be spectacular. Based on my sailing adventures, I handpicked the Islands we will visit, and we are cruising on a small yacht. There is only one cabin available, so please act as soon as you are interested. We will have many food and wine delights as we sail through the Croatian Islands in September.

Ohhh! I like it! I bet the coating on the chicken tenders gives it some crispy bits
