CASUAL DINNER MENU: Biscuit Club Sandwiches; Asparagus with Tarragon Vinaigrette; Ketchup; Chocolate Chip Cake
Oh, do I love my carbs. There are times when nothing will satisfy me but a potato, mashed, baked, fried, or sauteed. So I usually keep them on hand, finding them especially handy for meals for one, since they’re filling and infinitely variable in their preparations.
One morning, I was browsing the internet and stopped to check on parenting website Babble’s food section, Nibblers, where BGSK is a contributor. Beneath our post was this mouthwatering recipe for browned, crispy, roasted Parmesan potato wedges. When I followed the link to Elizabeth’s Edible Experience blog, I saw that making these potatoes was no big deal, just a couple ingredients tossed together and baked. So, I tweaked them by adding some squash squares, and then I made them for lunch.
