Mom's Potato Salad

Actually...this is a close second on the crack meter...for me anyways...

Ingredients:

1 5 lb bag white potatoes (do not use russet...don't know why, but you could substitute w/ red skin potatoes)
6 hard boiled eggs
Dried onion flakes
Dried parsley
Celery salt
S&P
Kraft mayo (no other will do!)
Yellow mustard (some say Ploughman's is the only kind...)

Method:

Cook your eggs, put them in a grocery bag and leave overnite in the fridgerator. Peel them the next morning and mash completely once the potatoes have boiled.

Peel the potatoes and boil whole for about 45 mins (you don't want them mushy). Remove from water and let cool.

Once cooled, combine potatoes and mashed eggs. Sprinkle a light dusting of celery salt over the mixture, followed by a good amount of onion flakes, then tons of dried parsley, and S&P. Lastly, add the amount of mustard and mayo (which there can never be enough of) and mix.

Refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving. Remember that those dried spices will get tasty once you give them time to sit, so don't overdue it on the celery salt and onion flakes. That being said, don't be shy on the parsley.

JT's Graham Cracker Brownies

These are the closest thing to crack I've ever encountered...

Ingredients:

1 box honey graham crackers
1 bag milk chocolate chips (you choose the size depending on how chocolatey you want these!)
2 14 oz. cans full fat sweetened condensed milk
1 14 oz. can fat free sweetened condensed milk

Method:
Blend 1 packet of graham crackers in a blender until it's dust-like consistency (thinking of your cabinet tops, jess;). Mix with 1 can of sweetened condensed milk and 1/3 bag of the chips.

Repeat with the next 2 packets of crackers, cans of condensed milk, and chips.

Stir all ingredients together before transferring it into an oven baking dish that's been buttered and lightly (very lightly) floured to prevent stickage.

Bake for 30 mins at 350.

Enjoy one and then give most of them away or else you will end up feeling very guilty from continuously eating these brownies!
