Potatoes with Onion and Green Peppers







I was really wanting french fries.

Deep down in my heart, I love french fries.

I know . . . kind of childish, huh?

French fries and ketch-up.

But on this night, I couldn't really justify going to get french fries.

I mean, I "could have;"

After all, I was making a very kid-friendly meal.

This meal, my cherubs really like . . . and it is really not one of my favorites.

Sloppy Joes!

My internal compromise was to add french fries!

French fries would go perfect with the sandwich.

Instead of giving in, I made a very grown-up decision.

I decided to make a french fry alternative:  a pan fried potato.

Only I would make it better than a french fry!

I'd add some grown-up flavor!

But not too grown-up, because I still wanted to use ketchup.

Confession:  this conversation was really going on in my head!

Potatoes with Onion and Green Peppers

1 small onion, chopped
1/2 large green pepper, chopped
2-3 TBSP oil (or bacon grease, if you have it . . . and I had it!)
1/2 package of frozen hash-browns
salt and pepper to taste

In a large skillet, heat the oil.

Add the chopped onion and green pepper.  Saute the veggies until browned.

Add the frozen hash-browns.  Season with a bit of salt and pepper.  Stir to mix the veggies and potatoes together.

Cook until the potatoes are browned thoroughly, with at least one crispy edge on each little hash-brown!  Seriously!  That's what makes this tasty!

That . . .and some ketchup!

Enjoy!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice! Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup 3-4 chicken breasts; cooked and shredded (or whole chicken;  cooked & shredded) olive oil 1 c onion, chopped 1 c bell pepper, chopped 1 c celery, chopped 1 c carrots, chopped 1/2 T minced garlic 2 t cumin 2 t coriander 1 t paprika 1 t red chili powder 1 T oregano 1/2 t cayenne (adjust to your taste) 1 28-oz can diced to

Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com" My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing! We've been eating this since the late 90's. Oh man!  That sounds like we're really old! This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really gourmet-ish, and is so easy! Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal! He had his 43rd birthday yesterday! To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has. Yes, doctors! Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . .  .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes. What a treat it is to get older. But with getting older comes this meal! Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party! Creamy Poblano Chi
