Miller Family Recipes

One day when Mom and Dad were out, I had sue vided (?) a delicious rump roast.  I needed a side, but I didn't want to do mashed potatoes cause Emilie's birthday was only a week away and she likes those for her dinner.  I though about rice or couscous, but I had a 10lb. bag of Idaho's that really needed to be used, so I got on Pinterest (of course) and searched potatoes.  This recipe looked fairly easy and fast.  It ended up turning out great, mostly because I used Tillamook extra sharp cheese.  You can use ordinary sharp cheese and I'm sure it will still be great.  The recipe is actually not very big, so I doubled it.  When you do that, make sure you cook it longer - I learned that the hard way...oh well, they were still yummy. The regular recipe is made in an 8 x 8 pan or small casserole.  I used a 9 x 13 pan. 4 c. thinly sliced potatoes (about 4 medium - I of course, use Idaho's) 3 Tblsp. butter 3 Tblsp. flour 1 1/2 c. milk 1 tsp. salt 1...

As we sit here eating our yummy tacos, I decided I'd better get this posted before I lose track of it.  It's super, super simple.  We ate ours with those corn tortillas that you cook yourself on a hot griddle - like the flours ones you can buy at Costco.  I got mine at Walmart 6-8 boneless frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts (mine were quite large) 1 pkg. taco seasoning (I used Taco Bell) 16 oz. jar salsa Place frozen chicken into a crockpot and dump the rest of the ingredients on top. Cook on high 4-6 hours or low for 6-8 hours.  Shred and let sit about 15 min. so liquid can get absorbed. This fed quite a few people like maybe 8-10ish

I got this recipe from a Costco magazine.  It's an interesting way to use cauliflower.  Me, mom, and Beth all really liked it, but of course, Dan doesn't do that texture.  For me it's a nice change from regular vegetables. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 medium head cauliflower, cored and cut into florets 1 1/2 pounds carrots, unpeeled and cut into 1-inch chunks 4 ounces good salted butter Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 Tblsp. of salt and the cauliflower and boil for 20 minutes, until the cauliflower is very tender.  Remove the cauliflower to a bowl, using a slotted spoon or strainer.  Add the carrots to the boiling water and cook for another 20 minutes, until very tender.  Drain the carrots and add them to the cauliflower. Place a food mill fitted with the medium disc over a large saucepan and process the vegetables into the pan (I used a blender a small amount at a time being careful not to over process). Meanwhile, me...

Char gave this to me around Christmas. I absolutely love the praline sweet potatoes, but I'm afraid it has been surpassed by these.  They had some similarities like they both used baked sweet potatoes, butter and cream, but no praline topping, which lessened the guilt of eating them. This might be my main "go to"when it comes to sweet potatoes.  I will still always love the praline version though. Also, this recipe is a total 'by taste' recipe, so if you like it less sweet or more salty, just adjust it for you. 8-10 large yams, scrubbed and poked 1/2 oj 1/2 c. cream 1/2 c. melted butter 1/2 to 2/3 c. brown sugar 1 tsp. nutmeg 1 tsp. cinnamon 2 tsp. salt (I prefer a little more) 1 tsp. pepper Bake the potatoes at 375 till tender.  Allow to cool till you can handle them to peel them. Peel into a mixing bowl that you can whip them in and add the remaining ingredients.
