Oh Em Gee, These Are Incredible!

I’m so excited about today’s recipe that I almost can’t sit still! I’m crazy about potatoes, any way you make’m, so I have collected a vast amount of potato recipes over the years. I didn’t think it was possible to top them – you see, I figured I had already found and perfected the best of the best recipes out there. It turns out I was wrong, and I’m actually really happy about that!

I came across this caramelized roasted potatoes recipe on Vegan Food Lover’s channel, and it is TO DIE FOR. Honestly, I could eat these potatoes seven days a week and twice on Sunday! Vegan Food Lover really has found a heavenly combination of ingredients for that marinade – and I didn’t even realize you could marinate potatoes!

I highly recommend checking out all of his recipes; that’s what I’ve been doing for the past couple of days, and I’ve found quite a few favorites already. Let’s just say I’m going to pamper my family with these incredible dishes for the next couple of weeks, and you all should do the same!

Warm Yourself Up With A Soup Your Granny Used To Make!

It’s getting cold here up North! With a couple of pretty bad snow storms and below zero temperatures I have been thinking of moving my whole family to the Caribbean islands, or any place where flip flops are the only shoes you’ll ever need. But since it’s virtually impossible to make such a move at this point, I’ve had to settle for easier ways to keep warm.

And, you know, it’s not that bad to enjoy a bowl of hearty soup inside the house, by the fire, and watch the snowfall. Especially when you have a recipe as delicious as this one! It’s a potato soup with cheddar and bacon – very similar to the one my grandmother used to make, and I think it’s perfect for this time of year. Not that you couldn’t eat it in the middle of the summer, too!

Even if you already have a great potato soup recipe, I recommend giving this one a try. It is far better than any other soup I’ve had, and every time I make this my family gobbles it up faster than you could imagine.

Quick Tip: Use turkey bacon for a leaner option.

I Never Thought Adding This One Ingredient Could Make This Salad So Amazing!

A good friend of mine thought it was weird that I was going to serve potato salad for Thanksgiving. In her opinion, potato salads were for summer parties and BBQ’s, not for Thanksgiving or Christmas. It’s funny; sometimes we are so used to doing things the way we’ve always done them, that we don’t even think about other options.

When I was young, potato salad was definitely a barbecue dish for us, too. But pretty soon after I got married and started a holiday tradition of my own, it became a Thanksgiving and Christmas side dish. I think it goes together perfectly with all the other holiday foods. Besides, everyone seems to love potato salad!

I haven’t always made the same exact recipe, though. But this one, from Melanie Cooks, has quickly become my favorite. There is one special ingredient I had never thought of adding – it made such a big difference!

Quick Tip: Use potatoes with thin skin.

Every crevice is filled with savory herbs, charming cheese, and butter.

Seriously, does that not sound absolutely heavenly? My husband and kiddos LOVE these sliced and baked potatoes. We get creative with our seasonings that we use. Sometimes, each kid will season their potato according to their own tastes. The kiddos really enjoy doing this and so do I.

My husband had suggested that we try using Old Bay Seasoning and I thought that sounded super good. So, I sprinkled some on the sliced taters in addition to some other spices. Wow! Did those potatoes come out tasting good! I think a little pinch of fresh garlic would be swell as well 🙂

What will you be putting on yours?

Anyway, I bet you are biting at the bit to get the details of this amazing recipe, right? Without further ado, please hop on over to the next page for the ingredients and instructions. Enjoy!

For Decades, This Has Been The Best Method! Have You Tried It Yet?

When the weather is getting colder, I bring out my secret stash of soup recipes! Actually, it’s not really “secret” – but I rarely make soups during the summer so when I go back to my soup recipe box again, it’s like finding a hidden treasure, haha! This ham and potato soup recipe has been my number one favorite for a long time, and there’s a reason for it!

There is one very important ingredient in this recipe, and I believe it’s the thing that sets this soup apart from others. I’m pretty sure my great-grandparents were making soup this way – too bad I don’t have a time machine so that I could go back and see it! What I do know is that this cooking method will make almost any ingredients taste heavenly, and you don’t need any kind of special seasonings for this.

All you need is a little bit of extra time – or if you’d like, you could do as I do and make this ahead so you have everything prepared when you’re ready to make this soup.

In Less Than 30 Minutes, You Could Be Stuffing Your Face With This Mouth-Watering Meal

When it comes to weeknight meals, the quicker and easier I can make them, the better. With all the hassle going on in our lives; school, work, hobbies and voluntary work, there’s no way I can stand by the stove for two hours every single day of the week.

Don’t get me wrong – I enjoy cooking a hearty meal for my family, but it’s just not a very realistic idea to try and do something like that every weeknight! Weekends are a whole different deal. That’s when we all gather together to cook and eat, and I don’t care how much time I spend in the kitchen then.

But on weeknights I enjoy recipes like this one here! A delicious, savory chowder with basic ingredients you can almost always find in your pantry. In half an hour you’ll be serving your family this wonderful comfort food, and you can only dream of having leftovers!

Fill Your Belly With These Fantastic Flavors!

What I’m going to show you today is one of the yummiest soups I have ever made in my whole life! Trust me; I’ve tried quite a bunch of them, so I know what I’m talking about. At this time of year I basically just ditch all the salads and grilled meals and go for steaming hot bowls of happiness. And they sure make me happy!

When you can get such a delicious meal, with very little effort, it makes you want to cook the same recipe over and over again. And that’s basically what I’ve been doing these past couple of weeks! This soup is not just really yummy – it’s also pretty lean, so you don’t need to worry about your calorie intake.

With a few little tweaks you can make it taste brand new every time! Add a little bit of tomato paste, or use sausage instead of ham and no-one in your family will even realize you’ve been using the same recipe all along! Serve with homemade biscuits or dinner rolls and you’ll get a hearty meal your whole family loves.
