What A Week!

Hi Mom and Laura, the two people who read this! Despite all the stuff that went on this week I did manage to make dinner on Monday night! I used a recipe from The Pioneer Woman and it was wonderful! It is called the Marlboro Man Sandwich and it isn't for the faint of heart, at least when it comes to butter. Since I am half way doing Weight Watchers this was a treat and I managed to make it with only one stick of butter. I used about 12 shakes of Tabasco and it wasn't hot at all for us so play around with that. We had some leftovers and the second night just ate the sandwiches on plain toasted white bread. We both preferred that to the sub rolls. I am not going to redo the recipe because she does a WAY better job than I could of telling how to make it.

I don't think you really need any sides with this but I did make some oven roasted garlic potatoes, a staple at our house. Below is my quick, absolutely no fail recipe.

Oven Roasted Garlic Potatoes

1 lb new potatoes cut into cubes, skin on

1T. olive oil

Garlic Salt

Place potatoes, oil and as much garlic salt as you want in a tupperware. Shake vigirously to combine! Pour contents onto baking sheet and add a bit more garlic salt if you choose. Bake at 425 degrees for about 30-45 minutes, depending on how crispy you want the potatoes.

I use baking potatoes when I want more french fry like results and new potatoes usually when serving with chicken, steak, etc. This recipe has never failed me once and is a great fix it and forget about it menu item.
