Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Did you know.........


Potatoes Top Bananas in Potassium - We need potassium to help strengthen our muscles and control our blood pressure. Bananas are high in it, but they aren't the best source. Why not try a spud instead? Potatoes have more potassium. They don't have any fat and are a good source of vitamins and iron, too. I love them taters!

Beef Stew w/ Potatoes, Carrots, and Corn Bread

Dinner Tonight: Beef Stew w/ Potatoes, Carrots, and Corn Bread




For Breakfast this morning a Poached Egg, 2 Johnsonville Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links, 2 slices of Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Bread, and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Outside its beautiful! Sunny and 81 degrees out today. After Breakfast I went and picked up Breakfast for Mom at McDonald's. Stopped by at the ATM and filled Mom's Car up with gas. Then later took her car up to be washed. After Lunch did a couple of loads of laundry. Then got the cart out and did some yard work. Nice to be out in sunshine! For Dinner tonight its Beef Stew w/ Potatoes, Carrots, and Corn Bread.







I normally don't have Beef but Mom wanted to make some Beef Stew. I had purchased a Chuck Roast for her at Meijer along with Carrots and Red Potatoes. I gave her hand and we cooked everything in the Crock Pot. She made some Cornbread later on to go with the meal. Everything was so delicious. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop - Pop Corn along with a Diet Mango Snapple to drink. Keep the post short today as Mom was the cook. And you know everything is better when Mom does it! Later!

Ingredients: (serves 2 to 3)

6 – Slice the steak thin and divide between plates.
7 – Add the tomatoes and drizzle the whole salad with the vinaigrette.
8 – Garnish with feta cheese and fennel fronds. Season with a little finishing salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste.

Save that water........


Save leftover potato cooking liquid for baking or for thickening soups, stews or gravies. The starchiest water comes from the russet potatoes.
