Classic Tator Tot Casserole

 This dish is an oldie but a goody! My Mom and my Grandma used to make if for me and my siblings and I now make it for my family too. To me this is comfort food. My mom would use 2 cream of mushrooms soups and my Grandma used 1 cream of mushroom soup and 1 cheddar cheese soup which I prefer slightly more but both versions are great! This is one of those casseroles that you can most definitely make your own. Don't like green beans? Use corn etc. You could switch the soups and cheese cheese up also. You do you Boo!! Let me know if you make this! What is your comfort food? Let me know in the comments!

Lindsay's Peruvian Chicken and Potatoes

I am so excited to share this recipe with you!  I have 4 daughters and one son. All of them are great cooks! This recipe was given to me by my sweet Lindsay and I would dare say cooking is one of her hobbies, talents and skills. She rocks in the kitchen! Lindsays husband served an LDS mission to Peru. Needless to say Lindsay wanted to bring Peruvian food to her home for her sweetheart. Enter Peruvian Chicken and Potatoes! Oh man this is GOOD! My youngest said it was some of the best chicken she has ever eaten! (and she is surrounded by and is also a great cook herself, so its quite the endorsement)  This dish is served with a green sauce called Aji Verde. It is beyond delicious but has cilantro. Some of us in our house dont care for cilantro so when I make it, I leave out the cilantro. It was still amazing but did lack the beautiful green color the sauce is known for, so... you do you Boo. If you like cilantro by all means please use it! But know if you dont you can still enjoy a most
