Baked Potatoes and Summer Meals

This recipe is a good option for a simple, meatless dinner. It also reminds me the summer meals we used to quite often have on summer days when I was little. What we had then was/were: Boiled potatoes sprinkled with fresh dill - scrambled eggs and cold buttermilk to drink. It was nothing sophisticated but very enjoyable and I really liked it.

The Southern version of the summer meatless dinner option is a bit different.

What you need to make it:
  • some potatoes,
  • chives/green onion - cut into pieces,
  • some salt, black pepper, vegetable oil, and butter,
  • shredded cheese,
  • + corn on the cob (and some lemon pepper to season it) to accompany the baked potatoes.
The recipe for the baked potatoes (by The Southern Lady who cooks) is here. It is easy and the dish tastes wonderful (according to us). You can serve the meal with a cold drink of your choice e.g. iced tea or chilled buttermilk.

Enjoy!

Beans, Bread and Traditional Cake

'Casting all your care
upon him; for he careth
for you'
-1 Peter 5:7
Today something traditional from the kitchen. How about some good beans and bread?
Good for a meatless day but not only. Just good :).
Love learning old Southern recipes especially if they are not complicated, and the result is so enjoyable.

And some cake for dessert:

Sports and Enjoyment

Not long ago The World Football (well, don't know why it is called soccer) Championships were taking place in a totally different part of the world, and it was fun following the matches too. Who will win the Cup this year? Maybe a European team? We'll see...



Besides football/soccer, we also enjoyed a totally different game recently -  its atmosphere was more laid back and quite enjoyable too - but in a different, more relaxed way ........


Well, no matter what sport you enjoy watching, it is always good to have some plum or other fruit cake for dessert.

The cake is great, just add  a little less sugar than in the original recipe.
