GRANDMA'S MACARONI SALAD
A sweet macaroni salad just like Grandma used to make. The dressing is a good basic macaroni salad dressing that you can use with your own macaroni salad recipe. You must refrigerate for at least 4 hours for all of the flavors to blend together.

GRANDMA CARR'S MACARONI SALAD
This was one of Grandma's staples. It was almost always in the refrigerator. Every picnic we ever had featured this salad. And Grandma loved picnics so we had LOTS of them. It is just easy and simple food but good. Grandma varies the veggies she included based on what she had on hand. Sometimes there was celery, sometimes green...

Steps:
- 1. In a large salad bowl, toss together the warm pasta, oil, salt, and pepper; allow to cool, then add the onion, celery, pickles, and bell pepper; toss to blend. For dressing: In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, milk, mustard, and celery seeds; pour half over the salad and toss to coat.
- 2. At this point, cover and refrigerate the salad and remaining dressing for at least 4 hours and up to 2 days. This allows flavors to blend and makes salad so much better. One hour before serving, remove the salad from the refrigerator, add more dressing, if needed, and taste for salt and pepper. Grandma often topped the salad with sliced hard boiled eggs and sprinkled everything with the paprika. Cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- 3. VARIATIONS: Add chopped chicken or ham. Try adding frozen uncooked peas, olives, cherry tomatoes, anything you might like.
GRANDMA WELLS' TUNA MACARONI SALAD
Creamy, full of texture and flavor, we loved this tuna macaroni salad. The chunks of white tuna make this a hearty salad. Onion and celery add a nice crunch. We really enjoyed the slightly sweet pop of flavor from the peas. In the warmer months, this will make a nice light lunch or dinner. Perfect for potlucks and picnics too.

This is always a big hit at family picnics and parties. There are so many different ingredients you can add or remove to make it your own. It is one of my most requested salads. This dish is best if done the day before. I usually will leave it in the refrigerator overnight.

GRANDMA CARR'S EVERYDAY NO RECIPE DISHES
Grandma cooked without written recipes for the most part. Here are some of her everyday dishes. I have many great memories of her and these simple foods that tasted so good when she made them.

- 6. EASY HOT DOG SOUP: Just cook a couple of hot dogs in tomato soup. Serve with crackers.
- 7. FRIED BOLOGNA SANDWICHES: Grandma fried bologna slices in a little oil. She made sandwiches with these and mayonnaise, tomato slices, and pickles.

- 9. SPECIAL COTTAGE CHEESE AND EGGS: Stir any fresh or leftover canned fruit into cheese mixture for a nice dish. Grandma's favorites were pineapple, strawberries, blueberries, and fruit cocktail. Sometimes she sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top of the finished fruited cottage cheese. She served this with cold hard boiled eggs.

This workes well with cauliflower, broccoli, corn, cabbage, asparagus, green beans, and more.

GRANDMA GRACE'S MACARONI SALAD WITH TUNA
I don't know where my mother learned to make this macaroni salad, but it is a multi generation family favorite. And it is so simple! The only family get togethers where we don't make this are Thanksgiving and Christmas. I think my father would dis-own my sister and me if one of us didn't make it for Easter! It always disappears when taken to pot-lucks and picnics. There is no mustard in it, and it is the only macaroni salad my dad will eat. My mom used to use regular tuna packed in oil, but I now use solid white albacore packed in water, whole wheat pasta and canola oil mayo in an effort to "lighten it up". Prep time includes 2 hours cool time.

SARASOTA'S ... --THIS IS GRANDMA'S TUNA MACARONI SALAD--
The other day on one of the posts, someone had mentioned making tuna macaroni salad for dinner and I just love that salad but haven't had it in quite a while. However, I have had so many versions over the years that have "tons" of mayo and "no" flavor it made me not want to make it anymore. But, I thought it was worth posting what I was used to having growing up. So, after looking online, I really didn't find one that was what our family made, so here it is. Now, we always served our "Tuna Mac Salad" with a bowl of creamy tomato soup (tomatoes from the garden), a loaf of bread (it didn't matter what kind, grandmas recipe fresh baked), and the Macaroni Salad was served over a bed of fresh chopped lettuce, (iceberg back then), whereas, today I use a mix of romaine and iceberg. This is still the only version I make.

Steps:
- Pasta -- Cook according to package directions. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl and let cool as you prepare the rest of the salad.
- Salad -- Not too much to this. To the semi cooled pasta, add in the peas, celery, onion, olives, pickles, and egg.
- Then in a small bowl, add the dressing ingredients - mayonnaise, parsley, dill, pickle juice, mustard, salt and pepper. I add all of the dressing (but I reserve a couple of spoons) to the pasta and toss well. I reserve a couple of spoons because after it chills, I like to add just a bit more to freshen it up. It really depends on how creamy you like the pasta. I prefer it not to be too mayo tasting. Last, I fold in the tuna because I don't want to break it up too much. Just fold in.
- Chill -- Before serving. I cover well with plastic wrap and chill at least 30 minutes to an hour and then stir once more. Add that reserved dressing if you want and season with any additional salt and pepper.
- Garnish and Serve -- I transfer to a pretty serving bowl, garnish with the remaining sliced egg, paprika and chopped dill. This was my Macaroni and Tuna Salad.
- As I said, over a small bed of lettuce, a cup or bowl of creamy tomato soup, and homemade bread -- ENJOY!
