Welcome to My Page!

Welcome! I am starting this page to share the recipes I cook in my kitchen that I already use and ones that I have found on the web and tried. I love looking at other people's cooking blogs for ideas to use in my own kitchen. My favorite blogs are the ones with step-by-step pictures and directions like Southern Plate, created and run by Christy Jordan. Her humor, stories, and recipes are great! I find that when I talk to people about cooking, many are intimidated by recipes. I always hear others say that they want cookbooks and recipes with pictures. My goal for this page is to share easy and delicious recipes that anyone can make. Believe me, I am no chef. So, I figure if I can prepare and cook these recipes, then you can too!

Easy Roasted Potatoes

These roasted potatoes are an easy way to bring some flavor to the table. They are super easy and yummy.
 You will need butter, seasoning of your choice (I am using Beer Can Chicken season. I know it sounds weird, but it is really good.), and a bag of smaller sized potatoes. I picked up this package from the grocery store.
 Rinse your potatoes to get them clean.
Cut them into bite-size pieces. These potatoes were small, so I just cut them in half. You can peel your potatoes if you want to. I just leave the skin on mine- it doesn't bother me.
Place your potatoes into a pot and cover them with water. Bring them to a boil.
While your potatoes are cooking, place 3-4 Tablespoons of butter into a microwave-safe bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of your seasoning to the butter.
 Melt the butter and seasoning in the microwave.
 Test your potatoes to see if they are done. You want a fork to be able to easily go through the potato, but you don't want them too soft. They are not as good if they are mushy.
When the potatoes are done cooking, drain them.
 Add you potatoes back to the pot and pour the melted butter mixture over them.
 Stir the potatoes up with the mixture and serve while they are still hot.
