asiago and bacon potatoes

I’m still in the process of recovering from my pinched nerve but I was anxious to share these delicious potatoes with you.  Thinly sliced potatoes are layered with a creamy Asiago cheese white sauce and topped with crumbled bacon.  I’m getting hungry just thinking back on how good these were!  The original recipe called for peeled potatoes but I prefer to leave the skins on.  I think they help keep the potato slices together and they provide some added fiber.

Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

by Amanda on August 31, 2010

Well it’s been quite eventful here the last few days and I apologize for not posting in the last week.  It’s kinda hard, no… impossible really, to blog when you can’t even sit at your computer.  Let me just say that I have never experienced such pain ever before in my life!!

The problem hasn’t really been diagnosed yet and tomorrow morning I’m heading to the doctors after spending two separate evenings in the ER in tears praying for some relief.  The back of my left leg was so painful that I couldn’t sit or lie down without wanting to scream.  After two days with little to no sleep, I’d had enough.  Luckily after an ultrasound concluded that it was not a blood clot, I found sweet relief in the form of pain killers and a muscle relaxer.  Thank goodness!!  But on the flip side, I can barely keep my eyes open but I prefer being sleepy to pain any day.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

August 21, 2010

Oh my, these cookies are awesome!  I normally don’t like too much chocolate and peanut butter but these cookies are addictive.  They turned out so soft and dense with a kind of cake like texture.  I was worried at first because the dough is sort of dry and stiff.  I had a hard time stirring [...]

The other day I happened to be watching The Neely’s on the Food Network when something caught my eye.  They were making homemade mint ice cream with condensed milk as the base.  I’d never heard of that before so I stopped what I was doing and paid attention. I couldn’t believe how easy this was [...]

Easy Tomato Pasta Sauce

August 18, 2010

My first attempt at homemade spaghetti sauce was so successful that it gave me the courage to try another tomato sauce recipe.  I liked my first pasta sauce recipe but it was a little to chunky for my husband’s liking.  This simple homemade tomato sauce recipe has about half of the ingredients and is actually [...]
