Recipes:

Oven Potatoes

  • 6 potatoes sliced fry style or cubed
  • 1/4c butter
  • 1/4c olive oil
  • celtic sea salt

preheat oven to 350

melt butter and mix with olive oil.  Drizzle some onto your pan (I use a stone with a 1 inch edge on it, bar pan)  put potatoes onto pan and drizzle on reamaining butter/oil.  Toss to coat and salt.  Bake for 45 min to an hour, turning mid way to help with browning.   These are also great with a couple sprigs of Rosemary in them, some fresh Parmesean grated over them or chopped fresh parsley.  Easy to throw together and forget while your fixing the rest of the meal.

Oven Eggs

  • 2 eggs per person
  • salt, pepper, herbs
  • cheese (optional)

Preheat oven to 350.  Butter a muffin pan and crack one egg into a cup.  Top with your favorite seasonings (snipped dill and salt, yum!)  Bake for around 25 minute or so, until the yolks are done to your liking.  This is a good way to get kids used to a runny yolk.  There are lots of good stuff in that runny yolk and you can slowly change how much you are cooking the eggs so that they are slowly introduced to “dippy eggs”

Did I ever mention that I love my crockpot.  Chicken, Beef, Pork..doesn’t matter.  You put the meat in, some broth or sauce and let it cook and cook until its all tender and juicy!
