French Farmhouse Potatoes with Broccoli

November 18, 2024 By Lisa

French Farmhouse Potatoes with Broccoli I LisaGCooks.com

French Farmhouse Potatoes with Broccoli   This is a recipe I keep coming back to.  This takes minutes to prepare and very little effort on my part to produce, arguably, the most flavourful potatoes you'll ever taste.  The stock and butter cook down and leave a buttery coating on all the veggies. You can use this method on other veggies too, ...

Greek Rice

Greek Rice I LisaGCooks.com

Greek Rice   Here I present my recipe for the glorious, Greek Rice.  You can't hear me but I'm saying Greek the same way Michael Simon does :) I love Greek food but I feel like I should be using quotes… like “Greek”… not Greek.

Warm Potato Salad

June 3, 2024 By Lisa

Warm Potato Salad I LisaGCooks.com

Warm Potato Salad The humble potato. Incredible. Versatile. Delicious. I love making this dish because I can switch up the potato I use, the vinaigrette and the herbs thereby creating a totally different potato salad with each simple twist. Years ago I made this with a boyfriend’s mother for a bbq I was attending. I was going for white wine ...

Cheesy Potato Wedges with Pulled Pork So I'm going to start this with saying portion control is key; throw in a Green Salad to complete the meal and this is totally do-able as a dinner for 4-6 people.  Yes; potatoes, cheese and pulled pork but considering how bad the numbers could be I think we're good 😊. Now I'm going to tell you a story, ...
