Summer TIME !!!

Once again the summer has passed us by! 

 Before we know it school will be starting and then the schedules start!

Here is a little summer food that we have been cooking...

For Maddie's 7th family Birthday party she requested potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and   hamburgers.  

Ashley and I were thinking and couldn't think of any potato that sounded good with Hamburgers.  

Then Ashley screamed... Pioneer Woman's Potato skins!  And Maddie loved them.  

They were a huge hit.

Here it the recipe that we cooked.....

Start off with baking potatoes

Bake them like you would bake a regular potato

Let them cool then slice them down the middle

Then cook your bacon.  I cook mine in the oven on 425 degrees because I hate the smell and mess it makes cooking it on the stove top!

Now scoop the center out of the potato

Leave a little for taste

I saved the rest for mashed potatoes the next day.

 Now Brush the potatoes with cooking oil 

Top and bottom

Bake them again so they firm up

While they were cooking the girls decided to do a Coke commercial....

Birthday Girl! 

Now Ashley is filling them with the bacon, cheese, and green onions.

Sour cream if you like!  They were Delicious! 

We don't get the 2 of them in pictures very often so I had to post this!

Plus they match... too cute! 

Dance recital... Enough Said!

We have a supper club group that meets every month and this month was at my house.  We decided to do homemade pizzas. I had all the toppings and everyone made their own pizza when they got to my house.  

They look as good as they tasted!  Here are just a few that we had

I made a Greek Salad... hmmmm GOOD

 Toppings!

My helper... This is what is going on while I am cooking in the kitchen.  

Never a dull moment in this house!
