Rhodes Bakery and A New Blogger Friend!

Last night our Church ladies group went to Rhodes Bakery and had a product demo which included lots of great ideas, plenty of samples (YUM-O!!!!! talk about carbo loading! I think I am ready to run a marathon now) and AND!!! each of us got to take our choice of dough home with us!! The hostess, Heidi V, was so awesomely fun and we just had a blast! I was even lucky enough to be given a cook book for FREE! A ten dollar value for the rest of the ladies!! 15 on the site.  (somehow being the biggest problem child Heidi has ever come in contact with has its perks! WOOT WOOT!!)  Maybe I should have told Heidi that I was going to buy one anyway but no, not me.....I took the book and RAN>>>>>>!!! LOL!
Want to get one for yourself??? GO here! I love Rhodes rolls and  bread dough and use them all the time! If you aren't familiar with rhodes you should be! They are a woman's best friend! They make it possible for my family to have hot bread that some have claimed is a dieing art.  NO WAY! Not with Rhodes in the house!
I am so glad I went for 2 reasons! First I had a great time with the ladies and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and second, I met a fellow blogger who happened to come on the wrong night accidentally. She has a totally awesome blog! (we fellow bloggers seem to relate to each other like no one else can right?) Her blog is wannabebalanced and she was SO friendly and an absolute doll too! Her blog is all about tips and how to's to keep ourselves balanced in our crazy mom/women lives. (she even gave me a few great tips on running my blog better for me)  Check her out here!!  You are gonna love the blog! I do! 
PS she is running an amazing giveaway! Don't miss that either!

My Funeral Potatoes

   This recipe is for a classic Funeral Potatoes, or Cheesy potatoes Casserole, that uses fresh potatoes. (I haven't had as much luck with frozen potatoes with this one) It's a comforting and hearty dish that's perfect for gatherings or potlucks. It is addapted from my moms kitchen and I love it! Sometimes I top it with a crumb crust and sometimes its is just topped with cheese but it is delish both ways!

Baked Potato Butter Compound

Are you planning a baked potato bar soon? This butter may take it to the next level. I was inspired by a BBQ restaurant we go to on occasion that serves something similar. Its quite delicious and makes dressing the potato easier. Guests can just grab the butter balls which potentially keeps the line moving verses stopping to add their butter. The butter compound has cheese and seasonings mixed together and tasty!
