Is anyone else struggling to get through these last couple days of school? I have been counting down the minutes that my kids get out of school. I am pretty sure that I am just as excited as they are about school being out. My kids have been lucky to be dressed and to school on time. Every morning when my alarm goes off I am tempted to keep them home because it is the last week! But then I remember that I am now the responsible parent and so I drag myself out of bed. But I keep telling myself it is only two more days and I can do it!

I am ready for summer. And I am ready for all of the barbecues! It is my favorite part of summer. I LOVE finding new side dishes to take. And this Bacon Ranch Potato Salad will blow your mind!

I love the bacon ranch combo. Ranch is one of our favorites! And when you add bacon to anything it makes it amazing. But as soon as I had my first bite of this potato salad I was amazed. This is the best potato salad that I have had to date. It has simple and delicious ingredients and comes together in no time at all.

You guys are going to love it! I promise that it will become a favorite and be the perfect side for your next potluck!

    it has potential, but we thought it to heavy and thick with just sour cream. Next time I will try bottled ranch dressing for a creamier consistency.

      Use Cacique Crema Mexicana Agria in place of the sour cream. It’s Mexican Sour cream and it’s a much thinner consistency and even better flavor. We replaced sour cream with this stuff in my house years ago
