My dad was a meat and potatoes kind of guy and my mom loves baked potatoes, so I ate a lot of potatoes growing up. While my effort to eat more healthy foods has almost eliminated potato chips from my diet, I still remember the handmade potato chips I had at the San Diego County Fair a few years ago. Thicker than store-bought chips, and as tasty as...

We didn't usually have any leftover potatoes but there are several recipes that can use whatever kind of potatoes you may have left after a meal. The...

Hearing the word JELL-O, many individuals immediately think of a mass of jiggling color, perhaps with fruit, chopped nuts, or whipped cream blended in.
