Homemade French Fries

Even healthy enough to eat for breakfast! :) So I did. A super, super easy recipe. Chop some potatoes, drizzle with oil, and toss them in the oven for 30 minutes. Easy!!

Ingredients:

4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed

Salt or season salt

Olive oil

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 450. Wash potatoes and slice lengthwise into ½ - inch slices. Cut the slices into French fry strips (skin may be left on). Place in a mixing bowl and drizzle 1-2 T olive oil over potatoes. Stir to coat. Sprinkle salt or season salt and mix thoroughly. Place on sprayed cookie sheet. Place in oven and bake for 30 minutes or until crispy brown and puffy. If you want them browned more, broil on high for 5 minutes longer.

Potato Carrot Cheese

Everyone needs to try this recipe. I could sit and dip chips in this cheese at every meal, I think. I like that it has lots of fiber and nutrients. It's a little cheaper than some recipes because the base is made from potatoes and carrots. It is bursting with flavor! Ingredients: 2 C cooked potatoes 1 C cooked carrots 1/2 C nutritional yeast, scant 1/2 C water (use from cooked potatoes and carrots) 1/3 C light olive oil 1 Tbsp lemon juice 2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp chicken-style seasoning 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp onion powder 2 oz pimientos Instructions: Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Serve with chips, on broccoli, as macaroni and cheese, on lasagna. This is so very yummy!

Rice Soup

This is the ultimate comfort food for me. It’s warm, creamy, cozy, and somehow manages to make my heart and soul happy with every bite. It takes me right back to my childhood and all those comforting memories of home so when I was sick last week, I knew exactly what I needed—a warm bowl of this soup. Ingredients: 1 cup uncooked white rice 7 cups water 1½ teaspoons salt, or to taste 1 can (14.5–15 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 cup sour cream (I use vegan) Directions: Bring the water, rice, and salt to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer about 15 minutes, until the rice is tender. Stir in the diced tomatoes and simmer another 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to very low. Stir a little hot soup into the sour cream first to temper it (in a separate bowl), then stir the sour cream mixture back into the pot. Don't let the soup boil after adding the sour cream, or it may separate. For a thicker, heartier soup: use 5-6 cups water. For a thinner soup: use 8 cups water. Not...
