Recipe: Mashed Potato Bake

This recipe didn’t seem like it would be all that special when I first made it.  After all, it was mashed potatoes that were baked.  Two things that had always been done to the spud family, but it turned out to be a unique and delightful side dish.

 

I do think however, that the next time I make this I will be modifying it a bit.  Perhaps only two eggs, and add some cream cheese or shredded cheese to the mix.  After all, everything’s better with cheese, right?  😉

 

The eggs did make this dish fluffy and airy, but I think 4 eggs was a bit too much for it.  So if you decide to make this recipe feel free to try my future mods and let me know how it turns out.  You can be my Guinea pigs.  😀

 

Recipes: Spinach Roll-Ups

The other night my parents invited me and my partner to dinner.  The catch?  I was cooking, lol.  Not that I minded,  I love to cook.  The thing is, though my parents have a nice oven, they have a shitty breaker.  A meal that should have taken me no more than an hour turned into two and half hours.  😦  I don’t know about you, but for me, when a recipe or cooking process is not going very well I feel like punching a wall, lol.  I was worried that the meal wasn’t going to turn out right because of the issues I was having with the breaker.  Imagine cooking noodles, or baking a meal, when the breaker doesn’t stay on long enough for things to get hot.  😛  In the end though, the meal turned out fine, great in fact.  Yet another life lesson (that I seem intent on not remembering); Don’t panic, it’ll be alright.
