Happy Easter

 








For Easter this year I ordered the beef tenderloin meal for two from Seasons 52.  It came with sweet potatoes, salad, green beens, and the beef tenderloin.  I made my own scalloped potatoes.


Ingredients

* 1/4 cup chopped onion
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 2 tablespoons flour
* 1 1/4 cups milk
* 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
* salt and pepper
* 2 potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced, not rinsed

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F Fry the onion in butter until soft, add flour and whisk in with butter for 2 minutes.

2.Then whisk in the milk and cook (on medium heat) until thick and bubbly.

3.Remove from heat and add 3/4 cup of cheese, stirring until melted; season with salt and pepper.

4.Layer half of potatoes in a small baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with half of sauce.

5.Layer remaining potato slices on top of sauce and season. Top with remaining sauce and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

6.Bake, covered, for an hour and a half.  Mine takes a long time to cook through and I really try to make thin slices of potato!


I suggest having enough ingredients on hand to make a double batch of the cheese sauce.  It really depends on how big your potatoes and casserole is going to be.

Low Iodine Diet

I have to be on this low iodine diet for a while. At least until the end of February. You will be seeing some new recipes coming as my husband and I try to cook things to fit this diet. More info can be found here Thyroid Cancer Survivor Association I don't have thyroid cancer. I do have to have the same treatment as a thyroid cancer patient would have. Don't worry! I'll be fine in a few months. Some of the guidelines include -No seafood. no problem since I don't eat any -No soy products. no soy sauce, no tofu, no soy beans. sadness :( -No processed foods. The frozen meals I like to eat at lunch at work are now OUT. AHHHHHHHHHH and so are things like canned soup. Good bye tomato soup in a can -No dairy. Whatever is used to clean the cow milking equipment has iodine. how will I like without milk, cheese, and yogurt. it really puts a damper on my breakfast options. -Only fresh bread. I just threw a loaf of sliced wheat bread in the freezer for when the diet...
