I'm back (how long has it been?) oy. The family's been fed, albeit in an undocumented fashion as the flower and event planning side of the biz consumed the better part of the last few months. But Not (!) Potato Salad deserves a gold star. It (I?) got my husband to eat it evenContinue reading “Not(!) Potato Salad”

Weeknight Steak

Peel and cut potatoesContinue reading “No Hassle Hasslebacks”

I prepped the chicken, and left out the ingredients for the potatoes. The 14 year old did the rest, proving if you want toContinue reading “Roast Chicken & Potatoes”
