Hmm, that picture doesn't look so good. Almost seems like the potatoes aren't in focus. That's because they're not. The focus that is. They're just a side dish. You'll see the rest of that picture tomorrow when I show the entree the potatoes went with. The idea for this recipe actually came from a comment on the Parmesan peppercorn potatoes recipe I did recently. April suggested that these would make great mashed potatoes. I thought that sounded like a fine idea. … [Read more...]

This is so much better than the stuff that comes out of a can, it's almost worth doing the whole dinner just to have the leftovers. … [Read more...]

Unfortunately, I've taught the girls to like real food, so instead of cereal they finished off all the eggs in the house. (I feel sorry in advance for the boys who will eventually date my daughters. Instead of Burger King, they'll have to take them to Hellreigel's.) I opened the fridge to see what we had. Hmm, half a baked potato left over … [Read more...]
