I have made some things since I have been away, just haven't really had the time to sit down and keep you posted.
The kitties have gotten huge, they are running around right now as we speak and are being fun little lovers. The beloved is wonderful. We successfully moved, are unpacked (except one or two boxes of stuff that isn't really necessary). I started a new job working at an assisted living facility and I'm really liking it, its a blessing to be able to help others that need it!
anyways enough of the chit chat, I am severely out of practice for any and all food blogging things, meaning I cook, I just forget to take pics etc. So instead of the food recipe for this post, I wanted to show off my gardening. Usually I have the black thumb of death and destruction (not being dramatic just truthful) for any and all living plants. I even killed a cactus...a cactus...that is supposed to live in the most harsh of climates killed over when I brought it home. BUT maybe the curse of the black thumb has left. I have had these plants for probably over a month and they are still living! I even have grown a couple of seedlings that will soon be foxglove and columbine flowers from seeds, they have sprouted from the ground like happy little green lover plants!!!! I'm happy!!! You can also see that I have way better luck for living creatures as the little lover babes (the cats) are still alive and well!
Loaded Baked Potato Casserole
1 bag shredded hashbrowns (thawed)
1 16. oz container of sour cream
1-2 cups cheddar cheese (depending on how cheesy you like it)
3-4 oz of real bacon bits/pieces (I cheat and buy them in a bag from wally world hehe)
chives or green onion (optional used as a garnish)
spray a 13"X 9" dish with non-stick spray set aside. In a large bowl mix together the hash brown, the sour cream, and half of the cheddar cheese (about 1 cup) and most of the bacon bits, leave enough of them to just toss on the top with the remaining cheese. spread out into the casserole dish, top with remaining cheese and bacon bits. bake at 350 for about 30-45 minutes. Enjoy!!!!
