]]> Sour Cream & Cheddar Baked Mashed Potatoes

Potatoes really are the perfect side dish and I love them with just about anything!  Homemade mashed potatoes are a must have at least a few times a month at our house and we never get sick of them.  This summer I thought we would be adventurous and try our hands at growing a few different varieties of potatoes in our garden.  I have never grown potatoes before, but I have found some really fun and neat ideas that I’ve pinned to my Gardening Board on Pinterest that I think my family might really enjoy trying out.  Do you grow your own potatoes?

These Sour Cream & Cheddar Baked Mashed Potatoes really are one of my favorites.  For me, these warm and cheesy potatoes are so comforting!  Thick sour cream and freshly grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese are swirled into buttery whipped russet potatoes which are then sprinkled with even more Sharp Cheddar Cheese.  The mashed potatoes are then baked until the cheese is melted, bubbly and light golden brown in color for a side dish that will taste delicious with your Easter Ham.

These potatoes go well with just about anything and are great for potlucks or as a dish to pass for a party or get together.  If your family loves cheesy, creamy side dishes, then these potatoes are sure to become a favorite!

On a cold and rainy day there is nothing more comforting than a hot bowl of  homemade soup.  This Slow Cooker Garlic Broccoli & Cheese Soup is so simple, but so delicious!   This soup is also lighter than your traditional Broccoli & Cheese Soups.   Along with fresh broccoli, carrots, onions,  garlic, and freshly grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese, this soup is blended with vegetable stock and 2 % milk instead of heavy cream.    Since I couldn’t spend all day in the kitchen today, this was a time saving, homemade meal that I didn’t have to touch or even think about it until it was dinner time.  I filled the slow cooker in the morning and I had a soup that tasted like it had been cooking on top of the stove all day when my family was ready to wind down for the evening.  With the use of an immersion blender, you can puree this soup to your desired texture.  I personally like to make this soup pretty smooth and then top it with Sharp Cheddar Cheese.  My children’s favorite part about this meal is adding more cheese!   Serve this soup with a garden salad and a fresh loaf of bread for a warm and cozy meal.   What is your family’s favorite soup when the weather turns colder?
