Everybody knows that in order to truly be healthy you need to eat a wholesome and balanced diet and get a proper amount of exercise. The unfortunate thing is that, at the end of the day, we don’t always have enough time or energy required for a healthy lifestyle. Going to the gym isn’t something people want to do when they get off from work. We want a yummy, greasy burger, not an equally scrumptious salad (unless we’re vegetarians). The good news is that making wise decisions doesn’t have to be a pain. With training you can get all of the nutrients and the physical exercise that you need. Here are some tips to be as healthy as possible.

Go up the stairs. Rather than using an elevator, walk up the stairs to the floor you live or work on. While this will be difficult to do if you live on or if your job is on a extremely high level floor in a skyscraper, taking the stairs to a home or office on, say, the fifth floor is completely do-able. Even if your office or home is on one of the top floors, you can decide to get off of the elevator early and take the stairs the remainder of the way. So many people pick the elevator over climbing even a single flight of stairs. Even just a individual flight of stairs, when walked up or down a few times a day–can be a great boost to your system.

There are all sorts of things that you can do to get wholesome. An overpriced gym membership and very restrictive diets are not the only way to do it. Little things, when done each day, can do a lot to make it easier to get healthy and lose pounds. Make smart choices every day is a great start. Getting as much exercise as possible is another factor. Don’t overlook that health isn’t only about just how much you weigh. You need to make your body as strong as possible.

We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to mama's southern potato salad recipe. To make mama's southern potato salad you only need 10 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to cook Mama's Southern Potato Salad:

1. Prepare 4-6 Med to Large Russet potatoes or 8-10 Red potatoes (Using russets in the pictures)
2. Use 4 Large Eggs (or more if you like, my family does, so I use 6, at least)
3. Use 1 Med Sweet onion or 1 Bundle Green Onions (Optional) Using sweet onion for these pics
4. Provide 1 1/2 c. Mayonnaise (Maybe a little more or less to taste)
5. Use 1/3 c. Sweet Relish
6. Take 2 tbsp. (of each) Spicy, Honey Dijon, and Reg. Mustard
7. Use 2 tbsp. Creole Seasoning (More or Less depending on how you like your spice level!! You can buy at the grocery store but I also have a homemade recipe for it as well, on my page)
8. Take 1/4 c. Bacon Bits or 2-3 slices of bacon, fried and broken up
9. Get 2-3 Roasted Garlic Cloves minced and chopped up (Easy, EASY recipe also available for Roasted Garlic on my page) or Couple tbsp Minced garlic, Garlic Salt or Powder will work too
10. Provide To Taste Salt and Pepper

Instructions to make Mama's Southern Potato Salad:

1. Get the potatoes in heavily salted water, begin to slowly boil, to be able to add eggs. Add eggs when boiling starts. Cover and let boil for another 10 - 15 min.
2. While the boiling is going on, prepare the onions and precooked garlic (if that's what your using, this is the garlic in the pic) Chop or dice both very finely.
3. This is the chopped onion.
4. Once the boiling is finished. Drain the water off of the potatoes and eggs. Cool down easiest way possible…. for me I drain the hot water off and add cold water, then refrigerate while getting other ingredients together. If I'm in a hurry I do an ice bath, pull off the heat, drain, then add ice and cold, COLD water to it. Let it sit for a few min then begin the peeling process. This way the skins of the potatoes will peel straight off with your fingers, nothing else needed.
5. Once potatoes are peeled, dice LARGELY!! Peel eggs and dice LARGELY, as well. When you mix everything it will come together great, so go BIGGER on cutting up the POTATOES N EGGS!! That's kinda the great thing about this recipe your cuts don't have to be perfect!! Go ahead and add garlic and seasoning (salt, pepper, creole, ect.) and stir it up!!
6. Last step!! Mix it all together!!! Add the mustard, mayo, relish!! The longer you can let it sit, and marinate, it makes it better. I usually make mine the night before and that's the way my family likes it!!
