Have you ever made stuff?
This is one of our children’s favorite meal. Well, kinda a meal, but hey it counts right? What gets added always depends on what is left over in the fridge as far as protein goes…. maybe bacon, leftover steak, sautéed sausage, chorizo, or even scrambled eggs.
This is the base of the dish,
Potatoes. They are good for growing kids and my growing waist line.
Slice them real thin, I like to use a mandolin. I have even used left over baked potatoes from the night before. Nice, because they take less time to cook that way.
While you are slicing, melt an entire stick of butter in a very large pan, cast iron is the best. Then add an entire sliced onion. If you cook the onions down until they are clear the kids will eat them.
Then, add the potatoes and any protein you like. Or leave out the protein and just eat it like this for a side dish. I have added eggs at the end, cooked them in and eaten this in a tortilla. AWESOME!
Keep the heat rather high and add more oil or butter if you need to so that the potatoes brown really nice.
Oh my gosh! They get amazing and really crispy! The potatoes break down a little and get all crispy and wonderful! Season it a bit with seasoning salt and pepper. Keep it simple, sometimes I add a little garlic salt, but just a little.
Like I said you can eat it just like this as a side dish with some ketchup, or add some meat to it and make it a meal or even eat it in a tortilla as you are running out the door to baseball practice. Not that we do that almost every day…
Do you have a family “staple” dish?

Check your boxes of cereal in the store!
Thanks to an email from Kathy,
“I was at my Super Walmart today and for every box of Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes, etc. you got a free bowl. I had just gotten my two boxes the night before –showed them the receipt and I was able to take home two new bowls for my girls.”
Also, with the Kellogg’s deal a few weeks ago I noticed on the Rice Krispies box were peelies for free marshmallow’s (any brand) when you bought 2 boxes. I scored 5 free bags of mini marshmallows for rice krispie treats and hot chocolate!
Don’t forget to look at your boxes in the store!

Winner of the Crayola Glow Dome…
My kids LOVE picking giveaway winners.
Don’t they look excited?
Might have been too early in the morning!
Thank goodness Emma was awake, she was the only one who can read that was up!
They hate it when I have to read the name for them.
It stinks to be in kindergarten, big enough to be in school, not quite big enough to read unfamiliar words!
And the winner is…
Baby Radar!
BTW her favorite color is Salmon Pink
Email me your snail mail address and I will have My Blog Spark send you your Glow Dome!
A big thanks to Crayola and My Blog Spark for offering this giveaway!

Graham Cracker Houses!
Because I am a slacker, and my childless sister is so much cooler than me, my girls had to go to her house to make Ginger Bread houses this year! My Sister’s apartment is across the street from their school and because she is the best Aunt ever, she lets them walk over to her house about once a week. Than she continues to make me look bad by doing fun little crafts and teaches them to bake.
I’d say I hate her, but really I just love that my girls have her so close by!
So here are her directions on how to make little graham cracker houses!
