I tried two new recipes last night – ranch pork chops and roasted veggies. I knew I wanted to make my husband’s cheesy garlic mashed potatoes, but I didn’t know what to make with them. After a quick internet search, I served Ranch Pork Chops, Cheesy Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Roasted Veggies, and Herbed Onion Bread.
Everything was absolutely excellent. My kids and husband were thrilled with supper. But, their favorite was the potatoes. We love cheesy garlic mashed potatoes.
The bread wasn’t served with supper – I put everything in the bread machine, only to discover that I was out of yeast! So I had my husband pick some up on his way home from work. We ate the bread as a bedtime snack, at 9:30. Herbed Onion Bread has always been one of our favorites, and it tasted even better right before bed! We killed the entire loaf. I promised everyone I would make more today.
