Irish Stew
Stew is one of those meals that feels like a hug in a bowl. My family is Irish, Scottish, German. Our varied heritage means we embrace a little bit from each piece of our backgrounds. Well, mostly we embrace the Irish and the German. I should work on the Scottish. Irish stew is one of …
Slow Cooker Monday, this week in FAIL
Cream of Leek and Potato soup I wanted to make something that could be made for meatless Monday or could be made Vegan. I decided to make Julia Child’s recipe. I made a few small changes. Instead of water I used homemade veggie stock, I used little potatoes instead of large russets and I did …

A sweet potato chip update
I wanted to share this update with anyone who wanted to try using the dehydrator to make sweet potato chips.

Sweet potato update
7 1/2 hours. Most of the sweet potato chips are crisp. I think they taste great. Picky daughter did not agree, but she rarely does. I am drying strawberries now (after washing and drying the racks). What’s next? Who knows.
Sweet Potato crisps
Good Morning! Today I am trying my hand at sweet potato dehydration. The goal? Crisp sweet potato chips. I used a Mandoline to slice the sweet potatoes so the cuts would be even and consistent. A word on mandoline safety. The mandoline is very sharp, and if your finger (or finger nail) gets too close …
