Loaded Baked Potato Skillet
Loaded Baked Potato Skillet is a bit of a copycat recipe. We had something similar at a local restaurant and knew we had to recreate it at home. It’s such a wonderful side dish or can be used as a full meal if you want to fill up on only potatoes, which is entirely what we did 😊 The skillet is quite literally loaded with tender potatoes that are topped with a cheese sauce, shredded cheese (because you can’t have enough cheese), crumbled bacon, sour cream, and chives. It’s a typical loaded potato but pre-chopped, cooked in a skillet, and large enough to share. I highly suggest you give it a try! The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees F. Slice the butter into thin pieces and place half in the bottom of a 9-inch cast iron skillet (reserve the other half of the butter). Add the … Continue reading

Slow Cooker Loaded Baked Potato Soup
Slow Cooker Loaded Baked Potato Soup is my new favorite soup. It’s rich, creamy, and loaded with the perfect toppings. It’s a made from scratch soup but it’s SO SIMPLE, so please keep reading. It’s hearty, can be a main entrée or served as a side dish/starter, reheats well so it can be enjoyed for lunch throughout the week, and makes a lot. When I first thought about making a baked potato soup, I thought this is just going to be like eating mashed potatoes. But it’s not! It has all the flavors of mashed potatoes but with a different consistency. It’s yummy and perfect for this time of you. The recipe can be found here. Start by washing and peeling the potatoes. I prefer to peel my potatoes but if you like to leave the skin on, that’s just fine. Then, slice into 1-2-inch pieces. Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Add the potatoes, garlic, onion, chicken broth, salt, and … Continue reading

Carbonara Baked Potato
Carbonara Baked Potatoes are something we tried recently, and I would definitely make again! You are probably most familiar with Pasta Carbonara, but this is a spin on the traditional Italian dish. Carbonara is essentially pancetta or bacon, with eggs, parmesan, salt, pepper, and maybe a little olive oil. It’s comfort food at its finest and super yummy when paired with baked potatoes 😊 The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash and dry the potatoes. Use a fork to pierce the potatoes on all sides (plus a few extra for good measure). Rub each potato with a little olive oil and place on the baking sheet. I also like to sprinkle mine with a little salt but it’s optional. Bake for 1 hour or until tender (aka you can easily pierce the potato with a fork). While the potatoes bake, cook the bacon according to … Continue reading

Chao Vegan Cheese
Have you ever tried Vegan cheese? It’s actually quite yummy! I was hesitant at first….is it expensive? Is it going to taste good? What if I hate it? Does it melt? And so many more questions crossed my mind, but I went for it and really enjoyed it. My go-to brand of choice is Vegan Chao Slices. You can find the Creamy Original and Tomato Cayenne flavors at your local Festival Foods. Both are sold in a 7oz package and the cheese is pre-sliced. It’s delicious on its own if you want to enjoy a slice right out of the package but also tastes lovely in the few dishes I’m about to share with you. I admittedly started by trying each flavor on its own, so I knew what I was getting myself into. The Creamy Original tastes like provolone cheese and the Tomato Cayenne tastes like a spiced cheddar … Continue reading
