Our Stay at Home Date Night | Stylish Monday

Almost every Sunday evening is a stay at home date night for the hubs and me. Heck, the whole day is a date for us, since we barely see each other during the week. We usually spend a long leisurely day together, then have fun cooking and hanging out in the evening. Of course, he does most of the cooking, and he almost always whips up a delicious cocktail, so it’s especially fun for me! My Stylish Monday group thought that it would be fun to feature how we spend our date nights at home, and I can’t wait to read their posts! And since it’s our monthly link-up party, you’ll be able to join in the fun too.

The recipe was passed down from his grandmother, and I’d like to give him (and his grandmother) full credit, and a huge word of thanks for sharing it with me so many years ago. I love family recipes that have history behind them, don’t you? I’ve always made this potato salad the traditional way, boiling the potatoes in one pan, and cooking the other ingredients in another – basically making a huge mess in my kitchen. But this year, as Independence Day approached I started mulling over the idea of preparing the salad in my Instant Pot, and just decided to go for it! It turned out so good, and was so super easy to prepare, I thought I’d share the recipe with you.

In This Together | A Global Link-Up

As the whole world steps away from public life, secluding themselves at home, my Stylish Monday sisters and I thought it would be a good idea to share with you how we’re sheltering in place, what things are like where we live, and to hopefully give a little glimpse of what we think is important as we weather this storm. I think as you read on, and visit their blogs you’ll find inspiration and ideas that you can incorporate into your daily life, as you stay home and stay safe.
