Hello and happy February-almost-March!

Herb & Parmesan Roasted Fries

If you are like me, you love french fries. I could eat them every day. I love them in many ways. I like plain, salty ones. I like cheesy fries, or seasoned fries. I like skinny fries and steak fries. Basically what I’m saying is that I love fries and I don’t discriminate against any type of them. However, I have found that homemade fries can be difficult to get just perfect. Sometimes they come out not crispy enough or not salty enough, plus I hate deep frying things. So I prefer to bake them. Well, these fries turn out…

Cheesy Roasted Potatoes

Awhile back, I had dinner at my wonderful friend, Amber’s, house. Her husband grilled us some delicious steaks and she made these INCREDIBLE roasted potatoes in her air fryer. I really enjoyed sitting down to dinner with them and their adorable daughter, just enjoying their company and REALLY enjoying the tasty food they’d prepared for us. Now, I’ve had roasted potatoes before, but somewhere between helping her cook and reminiscing on our old times in our cooking classes, these potatoes turned out to be the best I’ve ever had. When I returned home from my visit, I just couldn’t stop…

Delicious Dinner Rolls

Bread. The best thing to happen to humans, probably ever. Sandwich bread, rolls, baguettes, the almighty Olive Garden breadstick, bagels, pita… You name it, I love it! What I love about bread is the ability to do anything with it. Are you going to have a sandwich? Dip it in soup? Have it plain with some butter? Dress it up with cheese and garlic? Whatever you want, bread will provide, and with many textures and flavors to offer too. In my opinion, bread should be it’s own part of the food pyramid because it just goes so good with anything…
