Potatoes

Oh, I have to tell you about the potatoes from The Pioneer Woman Cooks! cookbook. They were great! Rich, creamy, delicious! I will change it a bit and cut the rosemary in half next time - a bit too strong for our tastes but just cutting back some will be perfect! It did take a while to get it all together to put into the oven but they are worth it! You will have to do a few sit-ups afterwards though - :-)

I am quite surprised with myself this week! Yesterday when I went to make the chicken, I realized that I didn't have the can of Campbell's cheese soup I use in the recipe. Well, instead of sending Doug to Butera, I used some jarred cheese sauce that Doug had just opened that morning. It was perfect and didn't cost any extra. Then tonight, Amanda had 3 friends over and Alex had 1 friend over and of course I didn't have enough steak to feed everybody. I would normally run to the store and get more - well I didn't. I went to my freezer, took out pork chops and chicken and put them in water to defrost. We had a very nice dinner for no extra money!
