Today is also Shopping Around the World with our pal Bacon from PigLove
From Bacon:
Shopping around the World will be hosted on Friday, June 29th. This month we will be highlighting easy dinner ideas for the summer months. Summer brings heat and who wants to be in the kitchen cooking, right? So this month, let's concentrate on what you prepare for dinner in the summer months.Our Summer meal is usually something cooked on the grill but Mom loves "FAUX" potato salad made with cauliflower instead of potatoes. Dad was a great griller and Mom is still learning about using our grill which is the Big Green Egg. She's never used a grill that was real charcoal before (NO lighter fluid!!)
Post your meals and prices on Friday, June 29th and link back to my blog so everyone has a way to your blog to check out your menu's.
Hope to see you here!

- 6 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 hard boiled eggs, chopped (reserve one for garnish)
Cook cauliflower until crisp-tender. Make sure you drain it well or your salad will be watery. Mom pats it with paper towels.
Mix mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add cauliflower. Stir in chipped eggs. Some people like to add a little pickle relish. Mom doesn't. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Cauliflower $2.70 (on sale right now)
Mayonnaise $4.59/15 ounce jar (Mom only buys it when it's BOGO)
Prepared Mustard $1.99/12 ounce jar
Eggs $2.89/dozen
What's your favorite Summer meal?
