Hi guys!

Yikes! I feel likes its been forever since I last spilled my guts to cyberspace. I’m just about settled into my new apartment and have been having the time of my life playing around in the big bad city! My new job kicks butt – I spent the entire day yesterday in a photo shoot for these awesome DIY juices, and the entire last week helping recipe write and photograph the cutest little appetizers. And as if tasting, experimenting, and photographing food all day isn’t enough, my apartment is dead center in restaurant heaven….So I’ve been eating out likes its my second job :) My skinny jeans can confirm this.

Last pic! First of us girls to take the plunge.. one of my best girlfriend’s bachelorette last weekend

 

But maybe even more exciting than my first few weeks in Chicago…is that I’m leaving this Saturday on a family vacay to Banff (right by British Columbia), for a full blown week of hiking, biking, and all things outdoors in Canada!

Which will be hil-ar-ious. The last time I camped was with Indian Princesses (do any of you know what I’m talking about??) at Yogi Bear Park. With cartoon animals. And nothing higher on the food chain than a squirrel. So in the land of no cell phone signals or washing machines we’re either going to get lost or die of suffocation from sweaty clothes (throwing you under the bus little bro…). Ha! Ok but on a serious note I’m SO pumped! I love this kind of stuff and absolutely cannot wait to hike around – it looks stunning and cannot wait to share pics! Wild bears have nothing on my 5”4′ frame…

So now to the good stuff – my Summer Vegetable Potato Salad! I am OBSESSED with the vinaigrette dressing on this stuff. Its so so yummy. Whisk together a little olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, dijon, minced shallots, and a little salt and pepper – delish! A note on the white balsamic – if you do not have any, or do not want to go out and buy some, you can swap in regular balsamic or white wine vinegar. I just really prefer white balsamic because its a bit milder than dark balsamic and is clear so it does not stain your pretty pretty potato salad a darker color! Worth the splurge for a party.

 

You can mess around with whatever seasonal vegetables you find at the farmers market – I used zucchini, corn, tomatoes, and potatoes. Have fun with it! This is such a easy side dish to play with. Plus its a health-ified potato salad you can feel good about serving.

 

Hope you all have great weekends!! Summer’s officially here when you indulge in some potato salad!
