Welcome to my recipe blog. I created this blog to track my culinary journey and to help organize myself to get my weekly meal planning under control. But I also hope it can help you plan your weekly meals or get recipe ideas for new things to try for your family. I've set up recipes so you can find ideas by type of meal or ingredient, and there will also be categories for daily tips and weekly meal schedules. I would love your input, tips, recipes and meal suggestions. I was inspired to create this blog by seeing some other yummy blog examples, so if you have a similar blog of your own let me know and I'll add a link here.

Garlic Roasted Potatoes

These are a yummy twist on a potato side dish. They are soft and crispy at the same time.

Recipe
Adapted from Everyday Food

2 garlic cloves
coarse salt (like kosher) and fresh ground pepper
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 1/2 - 2 T olive oil
1 1/2 pounds small gold potatoes sliced 1/4 inch thick (you can use a mandolin to make the slicing easier if you have one)

Directions

Preheat oven to 475. Finely chop garlic and sprinkle with salt. Press the flat side of a chef's knife back and forth across garlic to make a paste. Transfer to a small bowl and add the thyme and olive oil and stir to combine. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes with garlic mixture. Bake until browned on underside, 20-25 minutes, mixing halfway through.
