Week 13: November 8-14 (KPH) Rapee Morv Andelle [Gratin of Shredded Potatoes with Ham and Egg and Onion] pg. 153


I made this a day early but I was looking for something to make for dinner on Saturday night and decided this would be perfect. This dish is so amazingly delicious and easy! Connor had a bagel with it and I had an English Muffin. It would be great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. There are almost no dishes and preparation time is almost nonexistent. This is one of my favorites so far.

Would I make it again? I think I will make this dish often. It is very, very good!

Week 12: November 1-7 (MOM) Puree De Pommes De Terre A L'Ail [Garlic Mashed Potatoes] pg. 520


I made the garlic mashed potatoes and served them with stuffed pork chops and applesauce. The potatoes are very good but I feel the stuffed pork chops were too overpowering for the mashed potatoes. The potatoes needed to be the focal point. Next time I would serve the potatoes with Filet Mignon and a simple vegetable, such as asparagus. The potatoes are easy enough to make , but the number of dishes, as usual, is completely ridiculous. I left the skins on my potatoes to add to the color and the fiber and nutrients.

Would I make it again? Yes, but I would make sure that it was the strongest flavor of the meal.
