Roasted loaded potatoes

One of Isaac's all time favorite foods is potatoes.  He is very partial to mashed potatoes but I wanted to try something different for the rest of us that were getting a little tired of the same potato side dish.  I peeled and sliced the potatoes and roasted them with a little bit of olive oil.  They got a little crunch to the outside, and of course Isaac informed me that he liked the old potatoes much better.  He ate them but he wasn't thrilled about it.  After roasting the potatoes I decided they needed some dressing up.  I melted cheese, and sprinkled with green onions and turkey bacon.  Super super delicious, we all thought so minus Isaac.

Oh and I also decided to try it with one sweet potato and it was equally delicious!!

Baked Fried Chicken

I am not big on fried chicken, in fact I could go as far as to say I don't really like it.  Baked, breaded chicken now that is a different story.  A recipe that claims to taste like fried chicken but is baked, yep that I needed to try.  It of course was one of those messy dip in buttermilk then in flour mixture so it was very very messy to coat the chicken.  The family ate it up like it was candy!!!  EVERYONE LOVED it, fairly simple to make and for sure makes it on the family favorite list.

Looks just like flour but trust me it is much more

Kale on Pizza?

Let me answer that question for you, yes it is delicious.  Can you even taste the kale? Nope!!!  Seth and I went to quick fire pizza in stillwater about a week ago and we had a delicious pizza there made with only oilve oil for the sauce.  I tried to recreate at home....wasn't nearly as good but I loved it because it was PIZZA!

ruhbarb sauce

It doesn't get much eaiser than this recipe to enjoy the season of ruhbarb in a delicious way.  boil 1/2 cup of both sugar and water.  Add 4 cups of chopped ruhbarb and cook until ruhbarb is sauce/tender.

I love to eat this with honey toast.  Ieither dip it directly in the sauce or spread it on like jam.  So good, give it a try!!
