On my site already is a recipe for Scalloped Potatoes Like Your Grandma Made. I love those, and they are def a go-to at my house, especially after any holiday with ham (when I often sprinkle in both cheese and ham between the layers). However, if you examine that post and delve into the comments and discussion, you’ll see that many asked for the recipe for these Old-Fashioned Scalloped Potatoes – they strike a huge nostalgic note.
Sweet Corn in Milk & Butter
I gotta tell you guys sumpin. See, I live in Minnesota but grew up in Iowa. So I know corn! But what are you gonna do when you *need* corn and you can’t wait for those magical days in late summer to get your fix? Maybe you want corn and you can’t get that perfect ins season corn? Maybe the corn you have isn’t quite at its peak or you left it to sit just a bit too long? Or the packages of corn you bought didn’t quite live up to expectations? That’s when a recipe like this Sweet Corn in Milk & Butter is going to shine!

Quicker Whole Roasted Cauliflower
I always wanted to make a whole roasted cauliflower (talk about drama!) and remember when I was younger looking at recipes in cookbooks (and probably stuffy old cookbooks at that!) The cauliflower took fuh-evah to cook! Like hours forever. And for some reason, I thought they were reserved for “Dinner Party” status. If you’ve never been tempted to make one before because you thought they were too fancy, too difficult, or took too much time, take a look at this beauty: Quicker Whole Roasted Cauliflower.

Classic Crazy Broccoli Salad
I must be getting old coz I find my memory slipping a bit here and there. (What did I come into this room for is just the beginning!) After I made this Classic Crazy Broccoli Salad, I remembered I already have a lighter no-Mayo version. This is the OG version. (And if you’re interested, another fave broccoli salad: Shaved Broccoli Salad with Apple & Tarragon.)

Oven Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
We’re sitting here in the Twin Cities just waiting to get slammed by a blizzard, and we’re not alone. There’s a whole swath across the upper Midwest. I keep checking the weather but it’s so bright and sunny it’s easy to be in denial. Maybe they’re exaggerating. Maybe we’ll get missed! One thing I do know? We’re having these Oven Roasted Cherry Tomatoes & they’re like a breath of sunshine no matter what the weather and what the time of year.
