Fast, Quick and Easy recipes. Great to keep in the fridge to munch on and low fat.

Add some bread and a grilled meat and you got supper.

I got these form my Jul/Aug issue of Simple and Delicious and it's is only the tip of the iceberg in the recipes they include.

Babe, thanks for transfering the recipes over here. I didn't even think about us already having a recipe topic!

Seeing Bee's Grilled dill veggies reminded me of the dill potato salad I like to make.

5 lb cubed potatoes, boiled, rinsed and cool.
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1 medium red onion, chopped
2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
1 tablespoon prepared brown mustard
1 tablespoon dill weed
3/4 cup mayonnaise

Mix all ingredients well. Refrigerate. It's always better if you make it a day ahead of time. You can adjust the mayo on how creamy you want the potato salad to be. This always goes good with grilled hamburgers.
