Cheesy Potato Bake

July 24, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 14 Comments

Hi everyone!

Today is another recipe from the Skinny Bitch Cookbook.  For this round Michelle from Healthy Bites picked out the recipe for Breakfast Bake.  I was getting ready to make this for breakfast, but after re-reading the recipe I realized that this would be better as a dinner side dish then for breakfast.

The original recipe called for mushrooms, soy sausage or tempeh and vegan cheese.  I had to swap them out because I don’t like mushrooms at all and I know I could not serve my family vegan cheese and soy.  That would not go over to well with them.  I could only imagine the faces they would make.  Instead of those ingredients I decided to use sweet bell pepper, chicken sausage and lite shredded cheese.  I must omit it turned out pretty tasty.  I was pretty impressed with this recipe!


The recipe in its self was pretty easy to make which is a big plus.  Out of all the Skinny Bitch recipes I have made so far, I like this one and the Wild Rice one’s the best.  This potato bake has a ton of flavor and it’s so cheesy.  Oh and when it was baking, it smelled absolutely amazing!  I think the rosemary and thyme really added some great flavor.  Would I make this recipe again?  You bet I would!!  How can you go wrong with cheese and potatoes?

The stats for this dish isn’t to bad considering the ingredients.  After all I used sausage, cheese and potatoes.  Honestly I could probably have eaten the whole thing, it’s just that good, however I must control myself.  I haven’t had regular potatoes and cheese in so long, this was a wonderful treat!  To be honest my Husband didn’t care for it.  He said he didn’t like the peppers I added.  I don’t know how?  A lot of recipes use peppers and onions with baked potatoes.  Matter in fact I have made roasted potatoes with peppers before and he liked it.  My Husband was pretty crabby and nothing I would have made would have tasted good to him.  Maybe I’m bias but I really liked this dish and I think you would too!

      Hi LouAnn, Here is the recipe and link! Enjoy your frozen yogurt!

      http://www.peanutbutterandpeppers.com/2012/07/23/cherry-chocolate-chip-frozen-yogurt/

      Ingredients

      1 cup greek yogurt plain
      5 cherries, pitted and cut into quarters
      3 drops Vanilla Stevia
      1 tsp.mini chocolate chips
      Instructions

      1.In a shallow freezer safe dish; add yogurt, cherries, chocolate chips and stevia drops. Mix until combined.
      2.Place in a freezer for an 1 hour or until frozen, but slightly soft
      3.Remove from freezer and mix with a spoon until all pieces of yogurt are broken up. At that point the ice cream will have softened. Eat and enjoy!

      Notes: If you do not have vanilla liquid Stevia, I would add about 1/4 tsp. of vanilla extract or use vanilla greek yogurt and I would add just a pinch of sugar. Taste test it before putting it in the freezer.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.
