    POH-TAY-TOH.  If you know me, you surely know that I’m a carb person.  Like if I could, my entire being would be made out of carbs.  And chocolate.  So being able to whip these potato pancakes (by cooktoria) up at home is dangerous.  Especially to my waistline.  But they’re so worth it! Note to self: Next time, add a handful of sharp cheddar cheese to the potato mixture!  I think it’d be to die for.  As it is, these are delicious, but a little plain, so they definitely need some sour cream/greek yogurt sauce to class them up.  Also taste test for…

    This past weekend I was in one of my closest friend’s weddings–you’ll have heard me mention it over the past few months, like when I did a dinner review of Kona Grill, where we had her bachelorette dinner.  So since I didn’t have much time this weekend, I thought, why not go simple!  If you want a simple side, this is it!  These roasted potatoes are a snap to prep, and the only downside to them is they do need a bit of time to roast in the oven.  But if you’re dealing with the rest of your meal, then it’s a…

    Happy Labor Day!  Did you think I was gonna leave you hanging?  Nope, this time I’m posting a down and dirty meal that you can enjoy when you’re crunched for time, and kids are sure to love because there are tater tots!  This recipe I learned from one of my coworkers–from Minnesota!  We were really confused at lunch one day as to what he was eating, and apparently this is a pretty common staple up there where as I (being a Yankee originally) had never in my life heard of it. So that prompted a discussion of what is tater…

    This is an awesome sidekick to a meal!  It does take a long time, but not a ton of effort, just the checking every 15 minutes and flipping.  Most of the work is upfront, and also works out well for a helper to make when you’re preoccupied with the main dish.  Holy butter!  No literally, this is what happened when I microwaved the butter…I thought it was amusing so I took a photo, XD. This recipe was adapted from Spicy Southern Kitchen’s melting potatoes recipe, and let me tell you, they really are “melting”!  The chicken broth gives them a full whallop…
