My famous macaroni salad. My in laws LOVED it, it was their favorite. Now I think of them every time I make it. I miss them both so much.

Macaroni salad is so good as a side with many different meals. Steak, steak sandwiches, BBQ, burgers, pizza, and the list just goes on!

The full recipe is listed below if you would like to try it.

-Ingredients
9 hard boiled eggs (put eggs in large pot, add enough water to completely cover eggs, bring to a hard boil and continue boiling for 15 mins, remove from hot water and cool with cold water before peeling. This is how I get perfectly hard boiled eggs every time)

1 box of macaroni noodles. Cook until soft (not too soft. I like to rinse my noodles with cold water after they are done to prevent them from further cooking and becoming too soft)

1 30oz jar of Hellmanns mayonnaise (I don't use store brand because it just doesnt taste the same. Always Hellmanns, and you will use the whole jar)

1 medium yellow onion (dice into the smallest pieces possible)

1 24 oz jar of Mt Olive dill pickles (I use the baby whole pickles, then dice into small chunks)

2 Tbsp of yellow mustard

Salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (season to taste, but try to be generous with the black pepper and garlic powder)

Paprika (just for sprinkling ontop)

After everything is cooked and chopped, you can add it all into a large bowl. Add the mayonnaise and mustard last. Mix very well. After its all combined and mixed together, this is where you can sprinkle a little paprika ontop. Cover it with a lid and store in the fridge. Then enjoy! You can eat it as soon as its done. I like mine cold. And its even better the next day.

I hope you all enjoy this recipe. Its a family favorite and I am excited to share it with you.

Pour half of milk mixture into well. Mix for 1 minute, then slowly ass remaining milk mixture. Mix 3-5 minutes until dough forms. Cover and rest 10 minutes.

* I like sprinkling a little bit of salt ontop after buttering and while they are still hot 😋 (optional)

There is something special about homemade gifts. These hot pads were made in the crochet wiggly stitch. Super fun to make and the pattern looks so cool on both sides. Stay tuned for a tutorial video to see how I make these!

I received the Matrix Insta Cure Build-A-Bond Billion Bond Oil for free in exchange for my honest review, and after using it three times, here are my thoughts.

I first applied it to dry hair, then used it twice on damp hair after showering. I personally liked it best on damp hair, it spreads easily and absorbed well without weighing my hair down.

What really stands out is how strong and shiny my hair looks. This oil truly delivers on shine without feeling greasy or heavy, which is something I’m very picky about with hair oils. My hair felt smoother, healthier, and more manageable after each use. I also love that it’s packed with 1 billion bonds, helps strengthen damaged hair, offers up to 450° heat protection, and is vegan-friendly, which is a big plus for me.

The only downside for me is the scent. I was expecting something more pleasant, but it has a noticeable chemical smell that lingers longer than I’d like. That said, the performance of the product is strong enough that I would still consider purchasing it despite the fragrance.

Overall, if you’re looking for a lightweight bond-building oil that adds serious shine, strengthens hair, and protects from heat without a greasy feel, this one is worth trying — just be aware of the scent.
