When trying to think of what to write for my first post, I got a little overwhelmed. Should I post about the amazing sour dough pizza I just made? The jalapeno jelly that had no jalapenos but instead every other kind of pepper that was in my garden? Or the sourdough crackers that taste like cheese-its? Or the Kombucha I'm planning on bottling when I have a moment of free time? Or the orange marmalade that finally turned out to be a success? And I could go on and on. Instead I'll tell you what I made last night for dinner.
Sundays are usually my days to take a break from the kitchen. However, when you have company for dinner, you're forced to cook. Creamy potato soup and rolls are the easiest thing I could think of so here are the recipes
Dinner Rolls: this recipe is actually the Pioneer Woman cinnamon roll recipe made into dinner rolls (I know, I'm super creative). I just followed the recipe until I had a big lump of workable dough. Formed a bunch of dough balls and placed them in the pans. Since I was running out of time, I let them rise in the oven while the oven was heating up to 375. When the were almost done (maybe 20min but I never use a timer in the kitchen so who knows exactly how long they cooked), I brushed a little oil over the top (you can use butter or whatever). Let them cook another 5 min, take them out, and serve.
Here is the Cheesy Potato Soup recipe (serves 6-8):
1 onion (chopped)
couple of cloves of garlic (chopped)
some chopped celery (as much or as little as you'd like)
4 carrots (chopped)
6 potatoes (peeled and chopped)
Simmer above ingredients with about 3 cups of water until potatoes and carrots are soft.
Add 2 C. milk, 2 TBSP of Better than Bouillon, and salt and pepper to taste (I also ended up adding some garlic garni). Bring to a soft boil.
Take another cup of milk and mix 3 TBSP of flour into the milk until there are no lumps. Then add to soup.
Cook until slightly thickened. Turn off heat and add 2/3 C. Greek Yogurt and 1 C. of grated cheese (I used a little sharp cheddar and Romano).
Enjoy!
