Potato & Cauliflower Mash

Christmas (and Thanksgiving, but we don’t celebrate that here) is right around the corner. I’m still surprised how fast these Christmases come and go and how much changes over a year. Seems that the older I get, the more changes. Or maybe that’s just me? When I saw a basic recipe for cauliflower and potato mash in a supermarket magazine, I wondered what it would be like to mix that…

Mozzarella & Potato Pie

I already expected a lot of laughs when I got a package from my girl Teri. Why? Oh, I don’t know. Call it gut-feeling, call it intuition, call it a sixth-sense.

Use different herbs. Make it your…

BBQ Potatoes

This is so simple it doesn’t even qualify as a recipe. But I don’t care, sharing it anyway! When I whipped up an indecent amount of Sunshine BBQ Chicken, I needed an easy side dish that wouldn’t overrule the flavor of the chicken and could also be prepped in an oven as well… since I know not every one has a Big Green Egg. Yes, I know, you can stop…

Perfect Roasted Potatoes

And the last one in the series: “Old Guest Postings Resuscitated“, here’s the guest posting I did a few years back for these delicious roasted potatoes. This is a really solid recipe, tried and true, shouldn’t get lost in internet lalaland so I’m posting it to my blog as well. My family has made these roasted potatoes like this for years, today I just switch up the herbs or add…
