Kitchen Hint of the Day!

When seasoning a dish in your Crock Pot, use chili powders and garlic powder sparingly as these can sometimes intensify over longer cook times.

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

If you've never made chili before, you probably have some idea that proper chili should be pretty  spicy and you may be tempted to reach for store-bought chili powder. But, you'll get better results and a truer heat by finding some dried chiles like chipotles, guajillos, anchos, and pasillas, toasting them, and grinding them using a coffee grinder.

Toasted Ham and Cheese w/ Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

Dinner Tonight: Toasted Ham and Cheese w/  Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

Winter has kicked in big time here in West Chester! I went out to get the paper this morning and it was freezing. The morning news said it was 9 degrees with a wind chill ranging from -5 to -10 degrees, and that was our high as it going to continue to drop throughout the day. Not a good day to be working outdoors. Cleaned house today and that was about it. For dinner tonight Toasted Ham and Cheese w/ Roasted Fingerling Potatoes.




Toasted Ham and Cheese just sounded good for dinner tonight! I used my new favorite Ham, Boar's Head Smoked Honey Coated Ham. I started using this a few weeks ago and have been hooked on it ever since! With the Ham I used Boar's Head Colby Longhorn Cheese, Kroger Private Selection Sweet Hot Stone Ground Mustard, Kraft Reduced Fat Mayo w/ Olive Oil, and Klosterman Wheat Bread.



I started by toasting the Bread. As that was toasting I added my Ham to a small skillet and heated up the Ham, on medium high heat, for about 5 minutes. Grabbed the Toast from the toaster I spread the Mayo on the bottom slice of Bread, the Ham, Longhorn Cheese, and the Stone Ground Mustard on the top slice of Bread. And I now have one delicious Sandwich! The Boar's Head Ham can't be beat, as all their products, and I think I could have the Kroger Private Selection Sweet Hot Stone Ground Mustard on any meat and make it taste even better.




I also had baked some Roasted Fingerling Potatoes. I cut the Fingerling Potatoes in half, lengthwise. Put the Potatoes in a large bowl seasoned them with; Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Garlic Powder, Sea Salt, Pepper, Chili Powder, and Crumbled Bleu Cheese to top the Potatoes with. Using a large cookie sheet I spread the Potatoes out on the sheet . Then Roasted them at 400 degrees until they were fork tender, about 20 minutes. For dessert later a new one, Breyer's Carb Smart Vanilla Bean Ice Cream in a Waffle Bowl topped with Smucker's Sugar Free Hot Fudge Chocolate Topping. Came across the Keebler Waffle Bowls at Kroger the other day. They're Waffle Cones shaped into a bowl, you can eat the bowl as your eating the Ice Cream.





Oven-Roasted Fingerling Potato Fries

Ingredients:

Fingerling Potatoes
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Garlic Powder
Sea Salt
Pepper
Chili Powder
Crumbled Bleu Cheese

Directions:

1.) Thoroughly clean and scrub the potatoes.

2.) Cut the potatoes in half. This will allow the fingerlings to cook faster and also gives them a nice crisp.

3.) Toss in olive oil. I used about 1 tablespoons, but this will vary by how many potatoes you use. Just use enough oil to give the potatoes a nice coat. Add your seasonings.

4.) Put on a baking sheet.

5.) Roast in the oven for 25-35 minutes at 450 degrees. The potatoes should be tender in the middle when done. Sprinkle with Crumbled Bleu Cheese when done.
