One Good Dish

creamed potatoes 2

This dish is so delicious and a bit naughty with the heavy cream so we only do it once a year, usually Easter.  Sometimes it’s surprising how simple ingredients can make something so good. 5 ingredients: potatoes (yukon gold my fav), canola oil, salt, heavy cream, chives (or green onions work too). You can make…

Healthy Chips

P55

I actually got to catch a PBS cooking show this past Saturday and saw Joanne Weir making these bad boys. We gave them a whirl I grabbed my phone so I could share how they worked out. Slice potatoes thinly on a mandolin. Then soak to remove starch for 20 minutes. Spin off the water…

Hello Monday!

I am in the middle of laundry. Most of it is from last week, I just didn’t get around to it so I just smashed that hamper full…We had a great weekend! My sister, brother in law and nephew came in to do a little Irish celebrating. I didn’t do that great of a job…

Veggies for the Weekend

veggies and pasta

Happy Saturday maybe your lucky and you’ve gotten some warm weather and a little spring fever. This pasta dish is a good spring-like meal. I don’t have an exact recipe. You don’t really need a recipe, keep reading you’ll like it, the pasta is cooked in a different way. I went and picked out everything…

Pancake Tuesday…

Yep this first Tuesday after Mardi Gras is pancake Tuesday! If you missed it this morning it could work for dinner…yum! That is one of those things you either hate or love- a.m. in the p.m. My husband made me one of my favorites this morning- pumpkin pancakes, of course the dogs all got a…

Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler!

Yep it’s Monday- I’m talking about Tuesday, last Tuesday but it was a good Tuesday! Our Fat Tuesday last week wasn’t so fat but it was delicious. A little quiet without little sweet face around with her buddies this year but we still celebrated. Have you been buying up these lately? Always a bargain, the…

Something to Eat

Sorry for the phone pics on this post. Sometimes it’s just easier to try to snap pics with what is near by because usually it’s an after thought…but I do like to share:) This is the light fast soup I’ve been doing this week. Simple: red quinoa, white miso, asparagus (yay for the skinny little…

Mmmm Cheeseburger(salad)

cheeseburger salad

I saw this Pioneer Woman’s cheeseburger salad and I wasn’t sure…it sounded good, it looked good but then a little odd too. I was game though- I needed some dinner motivation this week. So… made it for dinner last night and my sweet faced husband said “yes! I could eat that every night”. So do…

Soup Time

lentil soup

I’m having one of those one of those weeks where I don’t really want to cook. Soup sounded good but it can take forever so this was as easy as I could get. (ha, sorry the blurry phone pics were easy as I could get too) Carrots, leeks, garlic, lentils a little red pepper, fennel…
