Why is it always the same drama in our house?
Every single day: What are we cooking today? 😅
I wake up, peacefully sipping my coffee, trying to enjoy my morning like a queen… and then, one hour later, husband wakes up and what’s the first thing out of his mouth?
"Good morning, darling?"
Nope.
Not even close.
He goes: “What do we eat today?”
Seriously?! Already?! 😭😂
Can I just enjoy my caffeine in peace before we start this daily interrogation?
And honestly, do I look like I have a secret meal plan for the next two weeks hidden in my sock drawer? Do you think I lie in bed dreaming about lunch?
Well…
This time, I actually did. 😂
Yup, believe it or not, I dreamed about food. I’m not even going to Google what that means, we’ll just leave that mystery unsolved.
But hey, at least now I know what I’m cooking!
Tiny little problem:
My husband is sick.
No no, not in the head (yet 😅).
He will hit that magical age of 40 this year, where your body starts sending you daily reminders that you’re not 20 anymore 😂
He came home the other day looking like someone just fed him a lemon.
One look at his face and I knew:
The Back has attacked.
He can barely move, he’s in pain…
Which means now I get to play Super Wife:
Cooking? - yes…
Cleaning? - yes…
Putting socks on him like he’s a giant toddler? - yes! 😂
So when he asked again, “What do we eat today?”
I proudly announced: Potato salad and fish! 🐟🥔
He was shocked. Like, "Wow, that’s a great idea!"
And I’m thinking: Well, even if you didn’t like it, you literally can’t get off the couch, so guess what, buddy…you eat what I cook, because I’m the boss now. 😂
But lucky for him, he loves my potato salad.
Which, btw, is LEGENDARY. Not kidding.
So I decided—because I’m so generous and amazing—I’ll share my awesome recipe with you.
Maybe you’re sitting there, wondering what to cook today, and BOOM 💣 here I am, saving your day. You’re welcome. 😂

My epic Potato Salad (Mama-Style, with my spicy twist)
1 kg potatoes
20 dag pickles (or as much as your soul tells you)
3 eggs
1 tbsp mustard
Salt (don't be shy)
3 tbsp mayo (OK FINE, I put 4 😎)
1 tbsp pickle vinegar
Oil (a good splash)
Pepper
1 clove garlic
Half an onion
Prepare-ton time! 💪
Boil those potatoes whole, then peel ‘em while they’re still warm. Burn your fingers with pride! 😂
Slice them into a salad bowl, add salt and oil, and mix it all like a boss.
When they’ve cooled a bit (but still warm), throw in chopped pickles, onion, pepper, mustard, mayo (yes, four spoons 😜), chopped eggs, pressed garlic, and a splash of that pickle vinegar magic.
Mix everything together and you’re done. 👍💪
Serve it next to some fish or just eat it straight out of the bowl while hiding from your husband/kids in the kitchen. No judgment.
**And that’s it, folks! Let’s eat!**🥳
Have a great weekend! I’m working (yep, fun times), but my husband still has some salad left from yesterday, so he’ll survive. 😂 Or not. We’ll see. Either way…I’m still the boss. 😎💅
With love, @tinabrezpike ❤️
