Tater Tuesdays


Lest you think my good intentions to make different potato dishes were only intentions . . .here is an update of how Tater Tuesday is going
Top left: Roasted red potatos (before they were roasted) SO good and SO easy we forgot to take another pic.
Bottom Right: Roasted Potato salad- Very yummy, we both loved the bacon in it.
Bottom left: Potato Pancakes- didn't taste bad, but I am not much of a pancake fan. I think I liked it better than fluffy cake-like pancakes. (the syrup made it delicious!)
Middle and Top right: Peruvian Stuffed Potatoes- different that what I invisioned when I set out to make it. You take mashed potatos, fill it will meat/egg concoction and then fry them. I liked them, but there wasn't enough flavor. I want to try again now that I know a little bit what is going on.
Bottom middle: Twice baked potatoes: Yes, I know this is a Harper favorite (ran out of time, money and ideas), but I did try a few new things. As always, we loved it.

You also get a glimpse at my scrapbooking adventures. I am still not very good, but I am trying to do a page a day. I usually get paper and layout and pictures on, but don't finish the journaling and the titles. Oh, well at least I am trying. Maybe someday I will make a book.

Yum! I love potatoes! Up there with ice cream on my list of favorite foods...

Jamie, thanks for the comment on my post. PCIT wasn't specifically developed for kiddos under 2, so the skills may be a bit different for a one year old, but I think if you are looking for new ideas, the PRIDE skills should still be useful. I worked with a parent who had a two year old with pretty severe verbal delays, and my client still reflected what her daughter said even if it wasn't a recognizable word, and her girl speaks a lot better now. A one year old isn't in speaking mode yet, but probably what you're doing is excellent: enthusiastic talking, simple statements, easy one word sentences, etc. Yeah, it can get dull for intellectually stimulating people, but each phase just has its blessings and bummers. Sorry I have no ground breaking ideas... knowing you, probably what you're doing is perfect.

OOOOOH!! I'm kind of jealous of the roasted potato salad. I saw a recipe for that the other day, and it looked fantastic.

Now I'm totally doing it....just because you did, and I'm pretty sure you're a lot cooler than I am. :)

I was just thinking about you and your tater adventures this weekend, wondering how it was going. I love the collage of pictures and it looks like you tried some fun stuff. Potato pancakes look good and interesting.
