Crash Hot Potatoes | The Pioneer Woman Cooks
Man, do I love Australia. First, my oldest daughter was conceived there on our honeymoon…and while we’re on the subject, have I ever shared with you that we almost named her “Sydney” as a nod to her point of origin? In the end, I chickened out, though—I thought that might be a little corny, and truth be told, I think she was actually conceived in Brisbane. But I’ll stop there. Anyway, I just love Australia. They’re so simple, it’s terrifying. For now, though, let’s take a chill pill and make Crash Hot Potatoes! The Cast of Characters: New Potatoes (or other small, round potato), Olive Oil, Kosher Salt, Black Pepper, and whatever herb you like. Begin by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in as many potatoes as you wish to make, and cook them until they’re fork-tender. Oh! Next, generously drizzle olive oil on a sheet pan. This will mean the difference between the potatoes sticking and not sticking, so don’t be shy here. …Giving them plenty of room to spread out. Or something.
Instant Mug o' Mac & Cheese in the Microwave
My daughter likes her organic boxed mac and cheese just as well much as the homemade stuff I make in the oven. The other day I went to make her our quick box version for lunch and we were out! I knew it was finally time to try something I’d always thought of but never attempted: making mac and cheese in the microwave. Since she only needed a small portion I knew a mug o’ mac and cheese would be just the right amount for her. I was thrilled when it worked out with my regular microwave — it was so easy! Instant Mug o’ Mac & Cheese in the Microwave 1/3 cup pasta 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup 1% milk 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese Combine the pasta and water in a large mug or bowl. Remove it from the microwave and stir in the milk and cheese. 10 Tasty Mug Cakes That You Can Make in Just MinutesRainbow Cake in a Jar10 Foods You Should Never Feed Your Baby2 Minute Salted Caramel Mug Cake20 Salads Hearty Enough for Tonights Dinner
Nutella: The World Needs You
There are times when I feel like an ostrich. It’s like I have my head buried so deeply in all the minutia of daily life that when I stick my head out into the world I’m shocked (and often appalled) and what’s going on. I’ll be honest. When I do stick my head out mostly I just want to curl back into my little life with a blankie and a warm cup of tea. With all the uncertainy around us, it is nice to have some things that remain simple and pure, regardless if you’re 7 or 37. And that’s Nutella. No matter what, that thick layer of Nutella that I slather onto a piece of bread always tastes the same and always brings back that pleasant feeling of chocolate and sugar and hazelnuts and fresh bread. And for all those that mock Nutella’s claims of being a healthy snack I’m sending a big dose of “shush” your way. Just shush. Nutella makes people happy. I said shush. Ciao!

Taco Bake
One food item I always seem to have in my pantry or in my fridge are flour tortillas. They are good for so many things. Tortillas can be made into so many different types of snacks for kids (and grownups). You can cut them up and fry them or bake them. You can make cinnamon chips, quesadillas, tortilla pizzas....The possibilities are endless...and easy on the wallet too. Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef 1 packet taco seasoning * water as called for on back of seasoning packet 3 large flour tortillas (8-inch size) 1/2 cup Salsa Con Queso 1 1/2-2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend Directions: Brown and crumble ground beef. Add in taco seasoning and water (following directions on back of seasoning packet). Once the taco meat is ready, turn off heat and add in 1/2 cup salsa con queso. I like a mild salsa con queso. Give it a good stir, until thoroughly combined.It don't look all that pretty, but don't worry, we're gonna dress her up a bit. Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Then slice and serve.
Zucchini fries and seasoned sour cream
Have you guys listened to the song Up With the Birds by Coldplay? I am a bit of a CP fanatic. Dan rolls his eyes at me any time I mention Coldplay. This song, though, it is really great. On my sad days, it uplifts me. Elijah is spending the night with his auntie tonight, so Dan and I have had special time with our sweet Sammy. The boys are back from their shower. First, prepare the zucchini fries. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine: 1/2 cup skim milk 1 large egg Whisk until combined. In another small bowl, combine: 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese Mix well. Cut 2 large zucchinis into 3-inch by 1/2-inch strips. Coat the zucchini strips with the milk-egg mixture, followed by the breadcrumb-cheese mixture. Place onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Seasoned sour cream! In a medium bowl, combine: 1 cup mayonnaise 1 cup sour cream Stir until smooth.
