Mashed potatoes with grilled potatoes. Delish! I’d like to introduce you all to the Klondike Rose potato. I’m sure you are familiar with Russet potatoes, baby red potatoes…what they look like, how to cook with them. But don’t pass these guys up in the produce department. I love that you don’t have to peel [...]
If you’re my uncle, grilling season never ends. But for some of us, it’s time to switch over to all those fall comfort foods we love! But before you go switchin’ up the menus, you’ve got to try these Grilled Citrus Salmon Packets. Enjoy this with some rice or grilled garlic bread, and some fresh [...]
Hey y’all! I’m sharing a fantastic summer meal for you all over on SCJohnson.com’s Food for Thought Blog. While I love a great salad for lunch most days, I also like to mix things up…and this panini is the perfect way to do that! It calls for things that you probably already have on hand…marinara, [...]
