Good Eating Monday: Slow Cooker Garlicky Baby Potatoes!

-
I like trying Slow-Cooker sides, like these potatoes.  I also have a bunch of new pasta salad Pinterest pins to try over the next couple months, since we're starting to get into grilling weather.
(I did get the oven clean, if you want to scroll down to the previous post)

Today's Good Eating Recipe is Slow Cooker Garlicky Baby Potatoes!
Unfortunately, I forgot to take my own photo, so I'm using the Pin photo, but they look exactly like this.
I cutsome Kielbasa cut into chunks to throw in with the baby potatoes for a meal, but these garlicky potatoes would make a great side for any meal.
The leftovers are also delicious mixed with scrambled egg and sauteed together to breakfast. (I had Kielbasa in mine and that was even yummier for brunch.)
This recipe is a keeper.
Slow Cooker Garlicky Baby Potatoes:
Ingredients:
2 lbs baby potatoes (that's 1 pack of them)
1/2 teaspoon dried Oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried Dill
1/2 teaspoon dried Basil
2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 2 cloves)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated 
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons butter, melted and let cool a little
1 - 2 Tablespoons finely snipped fresh Parsley or 1/2 teaspoon dried Parsley

Directions
Spray slow-cooker with oil spray and set on low to warm up.
Rinse, then slice the baby potatoes in halfToss potatoes into slow cooker.
Add the garlic, all the seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the grated cheese.
Drizzle olive oil and the melted butter over potatoes.
Toss the potatoes a few times to get them well coated.
Cover slow cooker and cook on LOW 4 - 5 hours. 
Remove cover and turn to warm.
Top with Parsley, sprinkle with other 1/2 teaspoon salt and shake on some additional Oregano, Basil & grated Parmesan Cheese.
Serve.
Delicious.

******
I bolded the "cut potatoes in half" because I initially missed that part. You definitely want to cut them in half. It really speeds up the cook time.
Kraft does make genuine grated Parmesan Cheese available in the refrigerated section of your grocery. 
I found mine was near the refrigerated fresh pastas. I've decided I love it and it's going to become something I keep on hand all the time rather then the other.

Good Eating Monday: Apple Cranberry Sausage Stuffing!

Now this some wicked good dressing!  I tried it for Thanksgiving this year and everyone loved it! I've been looking for just the right dressing and I may have finally found it!  It's also healthy with a tasty combo of fruit, veggies and a mix of white & whole wheat bakery breads. It will fill a  fill a 9 x 13 pan.  You can use fresh or dried herbs. I've included the measurements for both. Just remember dried seasoning is more concentrated in flavor because it is dried, so you need less of it then fresh herbs. I have fresh Parsley growing outside and this was a great use for it! I found leftover over stuffing wonderful heated up and topped with a over-easy egg for lunch!  Apple Cranberry Sausage Stuffing Ingredients:  5 1/2 cups fresh European style or sourdough bread, white, sliced and cubed 2 1/2 cups wheat bread, whole grain sliced and cubed 1 lb ground pork or turkey ( I used Jimmy Dean's Turkey Crumbles, which was 8 oz and that worked great! ) 1 1/2

Good Eating Monday: Peach Cobbler Dump Cake!

-

Yes, I tried another new Pinterest recipe and this one is a winner! The primary dictionary definition of a "Dump Cake," is an easily made cobbler in which cake mix is dumped over canned fruit or pie filling.  This recipe was pinned from Del Monte, which means it's been a recipe that's been created & tested in a corporate test kitchen. That's one benefit of all those label, can & box recipes provided by manufacturers on their product packaging. You can even buy cookbooks featuring nothing, but package & label recipes of which many are vintage. The only changes I'd suggest is add one more 15 oz can of fruit. It can be more peaches, cherry fruit cocktail, regular fruit cocktail or whatever you want. (So, I've noted 4 cans of peaches in the recipe.)   It just needs a little more volume on the fruit quantity.  And stir a teaspoon or two of cinnamon into the fruit! Otherwise, this is an excellent, quick dessert you can serve hot with v

Welcome to the first week of February! It's supposed to be 31 degrees tonight, so after cleaning up the front walk beds, I went around covering various things that either are blooming, about to bloom or that have sensitive leaf buds, like my hydrangea's.  I picked all the yellow daffodils and brought them inside for a cheerful vase on my counter. For Garden Pic Wednesday this week I have an excellent photo of a pine tree flower! You didn't know pine trees flower?  Well, you'll have to stop back for a look! Today's Good Eating Recipe is a family favorite my Mother used to make often for us as kids: Old Fashioned Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding! What Old Fashioned Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding Looks Like This is just your basic wholesome old fashioned bread pudding made with just eggs, bread, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar & raisins! No sauces to make. Just simple bread pudding. We'd eat it hot with a little evaporated milk poured over the top.

Garden Pic Wednesday: Ajuga & Lettuce Crop

T oday's Garden Pic is a nice January shot of some Common Ajuga draping over the edge of a large container out front & my bumper crop of lettuce Ajuga: It's a ground cover with a burgundy tinge to it's leaves. It reaches it's best color in shade, but can tolerate light sun. This Ajuga just gets morning sun. It throws runners like a strawberry does, spreading along the ground. It's reaching for the ground and will establish once it touches around the shady side of the stump the container sits on. It's a member of the mint family.  My Winter Crop of Lettuce: This is a french head lettuce I got ordered from Seed Savers for spring 2021. It went to seed in May 2021, then dozens popped up around Sept. I separated them, this whole 4 x 8 raised bed with them. I dined on fresh crisp lettuce all winter! I've left 2 to go to seed on one end of the raised bed, so can have lettuce all winter again!  I've joined a group a ladies in a Book Club that meets once a mo
