One afternoon while scrolling down my personal Face Book page, I came across a video of a man making roasted potatoes that resembled Mushroom Tops. How cute is that!

Welcome to the Flavors of Hidden Valley
Today is National Ranch Dressing Day. Just what is Ranch Dressing? That’s a fair question for those outside the United States and Canada. While we love it and know it well, beyond the northern half of North America, Ranch Dressing is almost unknown. At it’s core, Ranch Dressing is a buttermilk based salad dressing.

There’s something wonderful about fresh Rosemary and potatoes. I love to add fresh Rosemary to roasted potatoes, giving them an earthy flavor with its tea-like aroma and piney, evergreen essence. Add plenty of minced garlic, and you’ve arrived in Potato Heaven. While you can use any good quality olive oil to toss the potatoes, if you happen to have basil olive oil on hand, by all means use it. The hint of basil will further enhance the aromas and flavors of this simple side dish.

Cooking over a fire in cast iron pots dates back centuries to the time when humankind first learned to forge tools out of the Earth’s metals.

While this particular meal takes a bit longer to cook than I’d like for a weekday supper, it is so easy that it makes the wait worthwhile. Besides, that down time gives you a little more time to unwind from the day and enjoy the rest of the evening with your family.

Red Roasted Cajun Potatoes
Recently Hubby and I made Sunday Supper together. He grilled up my awesome Sweet Carolina Style Barbecue Chicken while I whipped up the perfect sides. What goes better with sassy, sweet barbecue chicken than some buttery corn and Red Roasted Cajun Potatoes? These potatoes were perfect for a number of reasons – first for taste (yeah, that’s important – who wants a side dish that is boring?) and also timing. When Hubby started the coals in his grill chimney, I started preparing the potatoes. The chicken went on the grill about the same time as the potatoes were popped into the oven. By the time Hubby was pulling the chicken from the grill, the potatoes were reaching that perfect state of roasting.
