BBQ Pumpkin & Potato Skewers
Before I begin, let me just get this out of the way – these pictures aren’t my favorite. As I’m writing this post, they’re bothering me more and more. Total brown-town. If I wasn’t such a lazy blogger, I’d remake this recipe just to snap better pictures. Add in a splash of...
Roasted Fennel and Potatoes with Tomatoes
No matter what time of year, or the mix ingredients you use, a tray of roasted vegetables always looks gorgeous. It really may be one of my favorite things to look at. Take this dish of roasted fennel and potatoes with tomatoes. All the colors are beautiful, with bold pops of red,...
Potato and Apple Latkes
I never understood why people pair potato pancakes with apple sauce. It’s kinda odd, no? Maybe I don’t get it because these delicious fried taters weren’t a big part of my life growing up. In fact, I didn’t even get hooked on them until I had one in France (go figure…good food...
Bacon Wrapped Potatoes
So…the other day my parents and I started prepping the yard for spring. It was mainly just raking some flower beds, but the main project was that we had to rip out the stump of a tree that had been over turned by Hurricane Sandy (yup, we’re still cleaning up after that...
Potatoes with Crispy Chickpeas, Fried Shallots, Tomato, Yogurt, & Mint
This week I’ve been in a minor funk. Nothing big, just teetering on the edge of funk-town lately. It boils down to this – I want to move out and feel like I’m doing something with my life. Instead, I’m living at home, which is great, but not at all what I...
Samosa Pie/Casserole
Indian and Indian fusion foods are the best! I can’t get enough. Usually they’re pretty healthy, but one guilty pleasure of mine is not – samosas. Those fried little glorious Indian dumplings. So good. I was really craving them the other day, but I didn’t want to pig out on fried stuff,...
Parmesan Parsnip Potato Puree
What a lovely name for a dish…gotta love alliteration. Anyway, this recipe is a twist on the traditional mashed potatoes. Every once in a while it’s nice to eat something that has both a familiar, but unique flavor. This time it’s the combination of parsnips and potatoes, whipped together with salty nutty...
Pesto Potato Salad
Potato salad is a key dish at any traditional picnic…it’s hearty, tasty, and comforting. But, sometimes it’s hard to keep fresh when the sun is beating down on this mayo based concoction. Since I don’t want anyone to get sick, I often omit any mayonnaise and make a pesto potato salad instead!...
Asiago, Red Peppers, and Potatoes
A potato is one of the most versatile ingredients out there. A simple spud can be transformed into so many different dishes that you could probably go your entire life without every duplicating a recipe! In this dish, I slice the potatoes, partially boil them, layer the slices with red peppers and...
Potato Soup
I like to make potato soup out of potatoes that are about to go bad…I don’t know why, but it always happens this way. We had a bag sitting around, so my mom suggested I make a batch so I could show everyone online how to do it! A lot of potato...
Au Gratin Potatoes
We’ve all had the boxed au gratin potatoes growing up…well now it’s time to learn how to make it from scratch! It’s literally only __ minutes of cooking, then just stick it in the oven and wait while it bakes! You can’t mess it up (I’ve even accidentally used vanilla soy milk...
Honey Glazed Sweet Potatoes
I keep preaching that sweet potatoes shouldn’t be covered in marshmallows, and that this delicious vegetable should be savory! However, every once in a while, it’s nice to toss them in a slightly sweet glaze and bake until tender. I use a small amount of sugar mixed with honey and naturally sweet...
