Potato Leek Soup, dotted with dill and pasture-raised bacon, may seem like an odd addition to a June post. I mean, really now, summer’s less than a week away – and I imagine all of you sipping away at icy tomato gazpachos and spooning sweet cherry sorbet into your mouths. It’s hot.

This week’s carnival is hosted at Keeper of the Home and focuses on Sides, Salads and Desserts. Though many will disagree with me, I don’t think [...]

Herbed Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes

  These potatoes make a delicious side dish. Faintly sour from the buttermilk, they’re richly flavored. The potatoes aren’t peeled, lending a chunky rustic feel to the dish. The cost per serving is approximately $0.93. This recipe serves about 8 – 10 for a large crowd, but it’s easily made in smaller portions. Figure about [...]
