I could rave all night about my latest recipe find -- one I actually found in 2006 and just got around to trying out. German potato pie. Omg. I followed the recipe, but I did not add caraway seeds (ew) and I only used six slices of bacon. It seemed really liquidy when I put it in the oven, so I was a little nervous. It wasn't until the last 10 minutes or so that it seemed to really thicken up, but all was eventually well.
Gooey, but it's ok!
The finished product.I cooked up a few simple chicken breasts (I splurged and got us organic.... sigh... I feel so much better about myself -- ha!) with salt, pepper, sage, and some spicy brown mustard, poured us some wine, and it was time to eat!
Messy but delish!
Seriously, this recipe gets FIVE STEPH STARS! (ha!) I don't know if it's the sauerkraut that I used, but it is very mild in this recipe (in case you aren't crazy about sauerkraut [but don't hate it, of course; you can still taste it]). It's not overly rich (although Brad seemed to think it was more filling than I did... Hmm...) and just has a very subtle, nice taste. The potato is the dominant flavor, but the bacon adds a nice smoky touch in the background (I even broke down and bought real bacon, which ended up not having any more fat than turkey bacon). I could easily eat this as a meal, but figured it would be more figure friendly to serve it as a side dish (in which case it serves up probably six to seven servings). Have I convinced you yet?
Off to have a piece of peanut butter bread for dessert!

I will file that one away for "when company comes". Maybe substitute the bacon for kielbasa and have a Polish Pie. No?
You'll be amused that this morning I watched Rachel Ray and then tonight went to the grocery store and made "Italian flag chicken". Of course Matt picked the tomatoes off, but he did eat it.
