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.

🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIEN 🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR ENGAGEMENT TOUR! 
~M🌼Y your day be filled with happy moments and beautiful flowers! 

I decided to create a zinnia garden this year and I am so excited to see it bloom. A few flowers started to show. I didn’t want Sully 🐶 in the garden, so I put a fence around it.  It worked for about 3 weeks. I was on stories yesterday, showing other parts of the garden and I turned around and saw Sully in my garden. I must have screamed so loud. He was stuck in there and panicking because I was. I got him out and no damage to any of the flowers. That was scary! 

We’re a fabulous group of friends sharing our love of flowers, elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went cherry picking. It was so fun! We got so many cherries. I’m guessing about 9 pounds. I have no clue how two people are going to eat 9 pounds of cherries? But we will try.
🍒
I am so happy we were actually able to pick cherries. We missed out the past couple of years. The season comes up so fast and only lasts a couple of weeks. Plus it gets so busy that the traffic is awful. That’s one thing about California is the traffic is so bad here that it takes the joy out of doing things. But not this year! I got my cherries!! 
🍒
If swipe the photos, you will see the bucket of cherries and a couple cherries on the tree.

What is your favorite cherry recipe?

☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIE ☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR TOUR! 
M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
🌷
Don’t forget that Krumpets Home Decor is having 25% off there whole site. Plus you can use my 10% off discount code on top of the sale price: PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. I have been sneezing like crazy and then my nose runs. Ugh! I never have allergies. It must be all the crazy weather. We’ve had high winds since last Tuesday and temps in the 70’s. Tomorrow mid 90’s, then back to the 70’s. No wonders my allergies are acting up.
🌸
I’ve been adding a little decor to my patio area. I love adding pillows and blankets for pops of color and to give a cozy feel. One of my newest additions is my new Verdure Wooden Candle Lantern that I got from @icosiest_furniture. It adds a romantic ambience in the evening.
🌸
The lantern is made from Fir wood and has a beautiful jute handle. The lantern can be hung or placed on a table. The candle is battery operated and looks so beautiful flickering in the evening. Swipe the photo to see it.
🌸
I love the style of the lantern and it would also look fabulous styled indoors. I can see the lantern on a shelf, centerpiece or on a console table. 
🌸
For a closeup of the lantern, check out my highlight. COSIEST was kind enough to give my followers a 15% off anything in there store: Jennifer15. The link is in my bio. 
🌸
Do you have allergies? If so, are they bad for you this year?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had such beautiful weather. It was in the 70’s and sunny. I did a lot of work outside. Got some plants planted and rearranged my patio because I was #gifted a new dining set from @alphamartsus 
🌷
I am so excited to have an outdoor dining set. It’s going to be so fun to eat dinner outside, in front of my zinnia garden and water fountain. I’m so excited, you have no idea. 
🌷
The dining set is the PHI VILLA Rattan Dining Chairs Set with Extendable Table Patio Dining Set. The set I have is the 9 piece, but they also have a 7 piece set. You have your choice of chairs, cushioned or high back. I like the high back. The chair gives great support and is so comfortable to sit on.
🌷
The table is made of high quality metal with a special powder coating that will with stand the outside elements. The table is 60” long but can be extended to 83”. It’s so easy to extend the table. The leaf is built in and just flips to make the table longer or shorter. Swipe to see the leaf and how long the table is extended. The first few pictures, the table is extended to 60”. 
🌷
For more information on the dining set, check out my highlight. The link for Alpha Mart is in my bio.
🌷
Do you like to entertain outside?
