Twice Baked Potatoes with Cheese and Broccoli
Yesterday I was feeling really sick and rundown as the result of too many late nights and pints of Shiner Bock while back in Texas for a friend’s wedding over the weekend.

One Giant Squash, Two Dinners: Ricotta Cheese and Zucchini Tart with Potato Crust
Despite using up half of the monster squash by making Zucchini Pesto Pancakes, I still had 1lb left to go. I decided to take advantage of making too much pesto the day before for the pancakes and whip up a Ricotta Cheese and Zucchini Tart with Potato Crust. Basically I wanted to try the potato [...]
Orrechiette Carbonara

Spring Shepherd’s Pie
I have been craving potatoes ever since I made those awesome Crispy New Potatoes when I was in Austin last week. Instead of making them again for Carlo to try, I decided to make some Spring Shepherd’s Pie and get my mashed potato fix instead. Shepherd’s Pie is normally associated with stodgy cold weather food, [...]
