Sauteed New Potatoes

First let me apologize to my followers for not posting much lately.  There have been several family issues.  If you would like to know about them, please click on http://theresa-lifesjourney.blogspot.com. 

Now, my husband planted new potatoes.  We didn't get as many as we hoped, but he did get enough for us and some friends.  He wanted some of the potatoes boiled so he could put butter on each one and eat them.  I had a better idea.  Here's what I did:

• Boiled new potatoes until the skin cracked.  Then poured off the water and put clean water in the pot--I have a hard time cleaning new potatoes, so this is how I do it.  You will be surprised when you pour off the water at how dirty it is.
• Finished boiling new potatoes until fork tender.  Remove from water and allow to cool for a few minutes for easier handling.
• Meanwhile, saute chopped onion in hot, dry skillet.  (I used two onions and 5 large new potatoes because my husband loves onion.  You measure to your taste.)
• While onions saute, slice potatoes into about 1/4 inch pieces.
• Add about 1/2 cup butter to the onion.
• When butter melts, add potatoes.
• Add about a cup of beef broth.
• Allow broth to reduce.
• Taste before adding salt and pepper due to the saltiness of beef broth.

Chicken Stew

Yesterday morning I was running late for church and needed to get lunch cooked.  Darn, the chicken wasn't completely thawed.  Now what? 

Here's what I ended up with:

One chopped onion--sauteed
Small pkg of frozen whole corn
Small pkg of frozen green peas
1 tbs. of chicken boullion
Five chicken breasts
Dash seasoning salt--to taste
Dash of Old Bay--to taste
One cup of water

Please all ingredients in crock pot.  I turned it on high because it only had a few hours to cook and the chicken was slightly frozen.  It was delicious. 

Breakfast Sandwich

Recipe for breakfast sandwich.

My husband loves sausage and eggs.  He also loves onion.  One day I had only a small amount of pan sausage--probably one patty.  My husband is a bigger eater and I knew better than to put one sausage in front of him.  I decided to make a breakfast sandwich.  Here are the instructions.


Chop 1/2 small onion and saute it in a skillet.
Add the pan sausage to the onion, browning both the sausage and onion.
Add two beaten eggs to the skillet.
When the eggs are scrambled, place the entire mixture on toasted buns.

My husband loved it and requested it for the next three days in a row.  I got tired of cooking the same thing every morning, so I increased the ingredients as follows:
1 medium onion
1/4 lb. sausage
6 eggs

I refrigerated the leftovers and microwaved enough for one sandwich each morning.  Be careful not to cook the scrambled eggs too hard so they don't dry out in the microwave.
