Roasted Ranch Red Potatoes



The red potatoes looked lonely in the bottom of my refrigerator.

They did have a friend with them . . .

but they got separated!

I had plans for both of them earlier.

But those plans got thwarted!

Now, I had to make a new plan . . .

Roasted Ranch Red Potatoes!

The Mr. and the cherubs love almost any veggie that I roast.

Potatoes are no different!

I wanted to add a little zest to those cuties,

after all, I had left them in the refrigerator to meat their doom if I didn't make a quick decision!

Roasted Ranch Red Potatoes

6 red potatoes (or as many or as few as you need)
olive oil
1 or 2 dry ranch dressing mixes (make sure they are gluten free if that's your need!)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Wash and cube red potatoes.

Place in a bowl and lightly drizzle with olive oil.

You want just enough to coat but not too much to make greasy.

Sprinkle the desired amount of ranch mix onto the potatoes.  Toss to coat.

Place on foil lined baking sheet and spread out in a single layer.

Cook until the potatoes are fork tender and brown in color.

Half way through the cooking time, turn the potatoes to offer each side a chance to brown . . .it's only fair!

Serve warm.

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

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK.  Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity.  It is a wonderful experience!  And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant.  It's delish! So back to the casserole.  After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe!  The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret!  It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr.  Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure!  When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy!  Especial
