Roasted Fall Vegetables-Two Ways!

Brace yourselves. I have news. There is a misconception that great produce is not available once summer is over. *gasp* I know. Shocking. Obviously, since you all go to pumpkin patches and apple orchards in September and October, you know that this cannot entirely be the case. Autumn is a favorite time…

Hot German Potato Salad

Oktoberfest may be almost over, but there is still a week or two to sneak some german inspired dishes into your menus! But this isn’t just any german dish. This is a family recipe that has been enjoyed for generations. As a kid, my parents made this throughout the colder months of…

Easy Crockpot Corned Beef & Cabbage

I bought a new crockpot today. *sigh* Its a beauty. It is stainless-steel and black and holds up to 7 quarts of glorious food.  At more than double the size of my regular one, it was definitely an overdue purchase.  So what was the first thing I made in it?  Why, Corned…

Holiday Shepherd’s Pie

Shepherd’s Pie is kind of a funny thing. I have posted about it before with this non-traditional version and I have to say that I stick to my original thoughts about this: If it is covered in mashed potatoes, it is a good thing.  But today’s recipe wasn’t my brilliant idea and it…

Roast Salmon & Vegetables W/Mustard Sauce

And my obsession with all things salmon continues… I admit I have been staring at the above picture for several minutes.  It contains so many foods I love, it could actually be called Brittany’s Salmon Dish.  I suppose I could have named it that but it seems a bit narcissistic.  It is…

Simple Beef Stew

The weather here has finally turned a bit chilly (woohoo!) so comfort food is what I’m all about. I am sitting on my couch as I type this and Eli, my four year old, is sitting at my feet and going through the ToysRUs catalog that came in the mail today.  He…

Classic Potato Salad

If you have glanced at your calendar lately, you know that July 4th is right around the corner.  But really, whether you are celebrating Independence Day with family and friends, or you have a slew of pot luck dinners and barbecues to attend, potato salad always seems to make its way into…

Classic Mashed Potatoes

The title of this post makes me drool a bit.  It isn’t the picture or the recipe, just the promise of potatoes and butter.  And like most honest, upstanding, hardworking Americans raised in the midwest, potatoes and butter have a special place in my heart and on my plate.  A very special…

Killer Fries

“These are the best fries I have ever had!” That was my husbands response the first time I made these.  Now, after a few batches, he just scolds me for not making enough.  Success! I should let it be known that I am not a ‘fry’ person.  I like fries and on…

Hobo Dinners

I am going to try to explain how happy this post makes me.  This meal, a Hobo Dinner, is the kind of thing that will make your wallet happy (you can easily feed four people for less than 5 bucks), will keep your house cool when the temperature rises, and will break…

Lemon Potatoes

I just realized that this is the second potato recipe I have posted in a week.  But hey!  Its all good!  Everyone loves a potato, right?  Besides.  St Patty’s Day is coming up and I wanted to post lots of potato recipes for you and-oh who am I kidding??!!  Not really.  I…

Party Potatoes

Phew!  What a long couple of weeks!  But alas, I am back with a recipe for you.  Actually, I had three recipes previously that I was very excited to share, but none of them were quite worthy.  I can’t quite bring myself to post a recipe that could still be improved or…

Leek & Potato Soup

Christmas is over and everyone is gearing up for the New Year.  Well, most everyone.  Our holiday here didn’t quite go as planned as both of my kids were are sick.  No Christmas Eve appetizer dinner.  No festive brunch and Christmas Day Feast.  Just macaroni and cheese and soup I had frozen.  We lounged…

Potato Gratin

Ah.  We have now come to the part of Christmas dinner that people could really care less about: the side dish.  For some reason, food that accompanies the main protein at Christmas, usually beef or ham and sometimes another turkey, gets forgotten.  At Thanksgiving, people go on and on about the potatoes…
