really good potoatoes

Potatoes
Olive Oil
Garlic
Herbes De Provence
Salt (Optional)

wash and cut up potatoes and place in an oven safe dish. Drizzle olive oil over top. Sprinkle with Herbes de Provence and Garlic. Toss potatoes to make sure they're coated. Bake at 400 degrees until soft when punctured with a fork (about an hour to an hour in a half)

These potatoes are a great side dish, reheat well and once they're in the oven you can just forget about them! Great for brunch as well.

Simple Jam

I love Jam. Not crappy store bought jam, real homemade jam. It's the best. First thing in the morning a toasted English muffin with peanut butter and a dollop of jam? heavenly. I thought I'd share this super easy recipe I experimented with today to make yummy in my tummy strawberry jam (strawberries where 3 1lb cartons for $5 :D)

1lb of Strawberries, cut and washed
1/2 c. sugar
1 pkg of Gelatin

In a pot combine Strawberries & Sugar on medium high heat stirring occasionally until it starts to bubble. Reduce to Medium-Low heat for 40 minutes. Stir in Package of gelatin until absorbed. Let cool. Put in container/eat. Cook less for chunkier jam.

Super easy no?
