Smashed Blue Cheese Potatoes
Smashed potatoes are one of the best sides dishes especially in a rush, in my opinion.It has every attribute of a steamy baked potato but with some extra crunch and very little time. When I have a lot of potatoes to make i go straight for smashing. You don’t have to worry about splitting the…

Chili Garlic Corn on the Cob
I was thinking about this one. I was thinking what a terrible dish to eat on a first date. We got garlic, corn that’ll get caught in your teeth PLUS it’s equally annoying friend sesame seeds. We gotta trifecta. With that warning out of the way lets get on with it. I am actually personally…
