HERB ROASTED POTATOES

Hello! Nothing for dinner on Wednesday? Sometimes having nothing for dinner is a real struggle, especially when you have so much to do throughout the day. Well I'm about to fix the problem and share a recipe of potatoes that is scrumptious and so easy to make. These super tender herb potatoes are going to make you lick the bowl because they are soft and tender, perfectly paired with the right herbs, and so easy to make.

Prep time: 5-7 min
Cook time: 30 min (boiling the potatoes) 45-50 min (cooking the potatoes)
Total time: 1 hour / 25 min
Serves: 4-6 people

Ingredients:
Baby potatoes
1/2 cup of olive oil
2 tbs ground black pepper
2 tbs of salt
2 tbs dried oregano 

Directions: 
1. In a large pot of water with a little bit of salt, add the baby potatoes (leave them whole pieces).
2. Let them cook until they are soft and tender. (You can find out by taking a fork and poking it through the potato).
3. When the potatoes are done, drain them from the water and let them cool off for about 10-15 min.
4. When the potatoes are cool enough to to handle, prepare yourself a cutting bored, a knife and a glass or oven safe pan. 
5. Start by cutting each potato in half and putting them into the pan. When all potatoes are copped up, get your herbs and oil ready!
6. First I like to start by adding the herbs. You can add as much as you like. (I prefer it a little saltier than spicier, and with a little but more oil.)
7. When you've finished adding all the herbs and the oil, you may put the potatoes in the oven to bake at 450* for about 45-50 minutes or until crisp and tender.


















      Enjoy!!

I have so much peppers, tomatoes, and tons of eggs because I never run out of that! But with extras in the refrigerator, what better thing to do than marry them together. I took feta cheese and eggs, stuffed the peppers with the mixture, added a tomato, and baked them in the oven. The result? Beautiful eggs and feta cheese in a pepper bed. Delicious and delightful, not to mention fun. Get creative and most importantly; ENJOY!

HERB SALMON IN FOIL

It's a Wednesday evening and you have nothing in mind for dinner; why not go to the grocery store to buy some salmon. This salmon dish is great for any night or any occasion, and can be pared with almost any side dish. The moist, buttery flavor of the fish is divine; it's a simply delicious way to end the day. It's density and texture fills you up on the second piece, not allowing you to feel hunger an hour later. After 15 minutes, you'll have a wonderfully seasoned salmon that easily flakes with a fork. Serve with rice and/or vegetables, and dinner is set. Salmon in foil is not the prettiest fish, but despite its look, it's by far the best way I've baked salmon.

Prep time: 5-7 Minutes 
Cook time: 20 Minutes 
Total time: 30 Minutes 
Serves: 4-6 People 

Ingredients
 2.60lb salmon 
 Butter
 Freshly ground black pepper
 Salt, to taste 

Directions 
1. Place the salmon on a large piece of tin foil, drizzle some black pepper and salt (to taste) on one side.
2. Turn the salmon around and add the same amount of black pepper and salt.
3. Take about a teaspoon of butter and lay about 4 to 5 pieces of butter the one side of the salmon
4. Bake at 350* for 35 minutes.







           Enjoy!
