Just because

Usually we make heart-shaped pizza on Valentine's Day, but we had been planning on making calzones so we tried this. This is homemade pizza dough filled with homemade sauce, tomato, black olive, red onion and cheese. We even made bread sticks from the left-over dough. Good stuff!

Potato Rosti

I have no idea what happened with this but the potatoes looked grey! Gross! Otherwise it tasted like hashbrowns only not as good.

Tots!

It totally counts. I wanted to make a tater tot casserole but it takes an hour and I'm pretty sure I don't own a casserole dish. What you can't see is the special dipping sauce: ketchup with pepper and salt!

Not Potatoes

I know it's not raisin month, but I seem to be making things with raisins so, better late than never!

Here is Banana Bread I made with golden raisins and this sandwich idea I saw in Real Simple magazine. White bread, raisins, celery, peanut butter. It is today's lunch so I'm not sure how it will go. Stay tuned.

Potato Gratins

I probably underseasoned Potato Gratins these a bit and definitely didn't buy the heavy cream that was supposed to go over them ( I used milk instead...) but they were still pretty good. You just slice up potatoes, put them in a buttered muffin pan with some seasoning between the layers and bake.

These are redskin herb potatoes. I cooked them using butter and herbs. This is about as simple a recipe as you can get, but they were delicious!. Hard to go wrong with redskin potatoes as long as they're thoroughly cooked.

Potatoes!

It's Potato month! I actually made these a couple days ago but they were the inspiration for potato month! Very yummy! And that's veggie bacon on there!
