Potato Skins

Ok, I know this sounds simple, but they really are better my way!!! 

 
So, here goes!! 

Bake your potatoes any way you like!  Cut them in half and scoop out the inside potato leaving 1/4 inch on inside of skin.  (Reserve the scooped potato for dinner the next night.)  Melt a couple of tablespoons of butter and brush both sides of the potato with the melted butter.  Sprinkle both sides with Tastefully Simple's Seasoned Salt (All Natural) and a little Fiesta Party Dip Mix (All Natural).  If Fiesta is too spicy for you sub any of your favorite TS dip mixes!  I bet it would be great with Spinach and Herb Dip Mix too!  Place the skins on a baking sheet skin side up and bake at 425 for 15 minutes.  Remove them from the oven, flip them over and add shredded cheese, bacon crumbles or whatever toppings you like.  Pop them back in the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese.  Top with scallions (I had to limit due to children) and dip in our prepared Bacon Bacon dip or Ranch if that's what you like!!  Enjoy!!! 

Bayou Bourbon Lil' Smokies

Yummy!  Ok, I would have a picture but by the time I got back with the camera they were GONE!!  I just put a package of Lil' Smokies in the mini crock pot and added 5 ounces of Bayou Bourbon Glaze.  Heat through and eat!  They were literally gone in 10 minutes - you would think I never feed these kids! 

Tastefully Simple Gift Idea and Recipe!

This is a photo of the gift basket (bowl) Todd and I donated to State Street for their annual United Way auction.  Hope it brings lots in!!  I put several of my favorites in a mixing bowl with one of the little recipe books I made for my Open House in August!  I made a little tag with the same chef from the Voila set (Stampin'Up!).  And of course used my Big Shot to cut the Top Notes out for the tag!  It turned out super cute if I do say so myself!!! 

So here is a new recipe for you all to try!  I'm making it in my crock pot today - love my crock pot!!! 

Asian Pork

1 cup Sesame Teriyaki Stir-Fry Sauce

1 1/2 to 2 lbs. cubed boneless pork

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup chopped onions

1 cup snow peas

1 cup broccoli florets

Combine first 4 ingredients in a greased slow cooker; cook on low 6-8 hours or until port is tender.  Add snow peas and broccoli or other vegetables during last 10-15 minutes of cooking.  Serve over hot rice or chow mien noodles.  Makes 5 to 6 servings.

Have a great day!!

Voila! The recipe book is ready!

This is the little recipe book I created for tonight's Open House!  It has all three crock pot dinners I'm making PLUS a bonus recipe!

I just love this little chef!  Normally I'd add glitter - because glitter goes with EVERYTHING!  Well, with the exception of cooking!!  Our Tastefully Simple products sparkle enough without the added help of my Stampin'Up! Dazzling Diamonds!!  LOL!! 

Really, should be a great event and I hope you will take the time to stop by!!
