Macaroni Salad

Macaroni Salad

Ingredients

1 pound elbow macaroni

5 hard-cooked eggs, chopped

2 or 3 stalks of chopped celery

1 finely chopped onion 

2 cups mayonnaise

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon black pepper

Takes less than an hour to make

Directions

Add salt and oil to your boiling water for your elbow macaroni.  Boil the water on medium heat.  When you add the macaroni, having it on medium heat will lessen boil over.  Once the macaroni is done to your satisfaction, drain.

Add salt and a tablespoon of baking soda to the water you are going to boil the eggs in.  Once the eggs are hard boiled, 5 minutes in boiling water, peel and chop.

Add all the ingredients together and keep in the fridge.

Tonya said for me to explain better, why to add baking soda to the boiled eggs.  When you are making boiled eggs, have you ever pulled parts of the egg away when you are peeling the eggs?  I know I have.  So if you add a bit of baking soda to the water BEFORE you bring the eggs to a boil, the shell will peel away, without taking the egg white with it.  

Also, don't use fresh eggs.  I don't mean spoiled eggs, just eggs that are a couple weeks old.  Fresh eggs will not peel as easily as older eggs.

This was the first video I made with the voice over.
