This is truly my favorite cooked carrot recipe. They are super sweet and delicious with pretty flecks of vanilla throughout. Everyone that I serve these carrots to asks me how I made them. Not only are they great with baked ham but go well with turkey and roast pork and the best part is that they are easy to make! (more…)
I watched Tyler’s Ultimate on TV a while ago and he did a meal that included Dad’s Meatloaf with Tomato Relish, Green Beans with Caramelized Onions and Almonds and Velvety Mashed Potatoes. This past weekend I decided to try this menu and see if it was as good as Tyler said it was. The meatloaf turned out great and was super moist and flavourful. The green beans with the caramelized onions and almonds had great flavour and texture. I did not end up making his mashed potatoes and instead decided to create my own recipe by adding bacon bits, green onions, buttermilk, and mascarpone cheese to Yukon Gold potatoes to make my version of the “ultimate” mashed potatoes; they turned out delicious. Everyone in my family enjoyed the dinner so much that there was very little talking throughout the meal! The perfect end to this meal was the Lemon Bars that are posted below. (more…)
