Tis the season to enjoy all those fresh fruits and veggies that I can only dream about during frigid Michigan winters. I wanted to put out into the internet world a couple of recipes for one of my all-time favorite summer dishes, potato salad. I have left out measurements in honor of true potato salad making. Seems when I call my mother to ask for her recipe she inevitably tells me to add as much as feels right. What kind of cooking is that? I pressure for an amount. Two tablespoons? What? A quarter cup? The firstborn in me demands an answer. She refuses. It's not like that, she explains.
So, in the spirit of mothers past, taste and season to your liking.

About Me
- Tammie Ortlieb
- I grew up in a meat and potatoes Midwestern family with Southern roots. It never occurred to me that vegetables could be cooked without ham. I never imagined that potatoes could be served without butter or that breakfast could happen without eggs. When my oldest two children spent a week at Camp Aunt Anne's and had been converted to the vegetarian ways by my militant veggie niece (love, ya, Molly!), I agreed to "let" them eat like this. But, they MUST make nutritious choices and they MUST eat vegetables. Oh, and I would do it with them just to make sure they didn't faint dead away from lack of nutrition (although how would I know that if I had passed out myself?). I've been vegetarian now for about seven years, vegan for the past two and a half. I am a freelance writer for various vegetarian sources and am a staff writer for www.vegfamily.com. In my other life, I teach psychology classes at the local community college. Basically, I live to empower. And vegetarianism is my passion. So pretty much I live to help people, especially middle-aged chicks like myself, to transition to a vegetarian way of life.
