Potatoes are awesome – but even more awesome when WRAPPED IN BACON! Simple to make and so delicious.

The Balsamic Vinegar complements the sweetness of the Yams, adding an interesting depth of flavor.

It has been entirely too long since I made Potato Salad – and I hadn’t even really realized it had been so long until last night when I was thinking about the baby yukon gold potatoes we received in this weeks Farm Box. The last couple of times I received potatoes in my box, I [...]

On Saturday, while we were cleaning up and preparing for the arrival of Mr. Man’s grandparents, I made a very lazy and lame lamb pot roast with potatoes for dinner in the crockpot. It barely qualified as a recipe, 3 lbs of lamb shoulder, 1 quart of broth, 2-3 lbs of potatoes; peeled and diced [...]

One thing that I’ve been trying to do lately, is plan out my meals a little more carefully – when I do, I tend to have less waste, which is always a good thing, and it can make my life a little easier for those nights when I don’t really feel up to making a [...]

I wanted to incorporate some whole grains in to the meal, so I did half and half on whole wheat/all purpose flour. Surprisingly, they’re fluffier, with a softer crumb than I would have [...]

I had an appointment first thing this morning, which I always love hate – although it’s better than in the middle of the day… Actually, I think it’s appointments and mornings I hate – not necessarily getting an appointment out of the way in the morning. Worst still, the appointment was an exercise in frustrating, [...]
