Morning Oven Hashbrowns

 Hashbrowns are one of those things that I dreaded making from scratch.  You really have to watch them on the stove, so the outside doesn't burn while the inside is hard.  Plus, in the morning, I usually have too many things going at once, and haven't even fit in my morning coffee (Which I need!).

I decided to use my oven instead.  They were awesome.  And I was able to get Claire ready for the day, while Breakfast was on it's way.  In the last 5 minutes, I started the eggs, threw in some toast, and Breakfast was served. 

Ingredients:

2 Potatoes, peeled and chopped into small bites

Olive Oil
Southwest Chipotle Seasoning by Mrs. Dash
Fresh Chives

Directions:
Turn Oven to 400 F degrees.  Toss potatoes with olive oil and seasoning.  Spread on a greased pan and bake for 20 min or until golden brown, turning potatoes once after about 10 minutes.
Add some fresh Chives and Serve.

Roasted Broccoli

 

I think about roasted broccoli in the morning...in the afternoon, and at night. I LOVE it.  I'm not the broccoli lover I used to be, but after tasting it roasted on a pan, it's amazing.

Ingredients:
2 heads broccoli, separated into florets
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
 In a large bowl, toss broccoli florets with the extra virgin olive oil, sea salt.
Spread the broccoli out in an even layer on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until florets, turning after 10 minutes. 
They are tender enough to pierce the stems with a fork at about 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove and transfer to a serving platter.

Enjoy!!

Cream Cheese Pepper Salad

This is a very delicious salad.  

What may look like tofu, is actually baked cream cheese cubed.  The croutons are homemade from my two day old french bread.  They are extra good when they soak up the dressing!

You can't see the sunflower seeds or pepper rings..I forgot to take pictures the night I made it!

Ingredients: 

Cream cheese, cubed in bite size pieces
Orange zest
Pepper
Garlic powder
Romaine lettuce, chopped
Carrot, shaved
Sunflower seeds
Mild Pepper rings, sliced a bit smaller
Croutons 


I did a balsamic dressing for this salad, but you could probably use any kind.

Directions:
 
Heat oven to 400 degrees.

Place cream cheese on non stick sprayed baking pan.

Sprinkle with Garlic powder, orange zest and pepper to your taste.

Bake 8 to 10 Minutes until lightly browned. Cool slightly, then removed to a plate; set aside.

Add the rest of your ingredients to a bowl, top with cream cheese and drizzle dressing.

So very good, and a nice compliment to almost any meal.

I  went to Strack and Van til and got the yellow pepper rings and sunflower seeds from the salad bar. Only cost me $0.20, instead of $5.00. Now that works for me!

Sorry I haven't sent anything in awhile. I haven't had a camera for days...long days. I made some beautiful stuffed pork chops last night, and couldn't get a picture. Sad, but I guess that means I'll have to make them again so I can share them with you. 

I hope everyone is well. I'm working on making an app for my blog, so hopefully that will be coming soon!
