Food Stuffs!

So I forgot to take pictures and do a post for Tasty Tuesday, but here's what we had for dinner anyway.... three-cheese cheeseburgers with oven baked parmesan and garlic fries! I got great sesame seed rolls at WF and made good sized burgers... topped the burgers with a co-jack/cheddar blend and then put some gorgonzola on top too (because, as you know my mantra-- everything's better with cheese (and/or potatoes!)). We then put fresh tomato slices on the burgers and we had these great oven-baked fries. They're from Ore-Ida and they're kind of like potato wedges. The come pre-seasoned with garlic and parmesan and I added fresh ground black pepper, a bit of kosher salt and tossed the fries in a bit of olive oil before putting them in the oven. It was a very tasty Tuesday!

Then, last night we made Ina Garten's "Parker's Split Pea Soup". It was tasty as usual and such a simple recipe! I also made with it Ina's Parmesan croutons which are a great topper for the soup-- the parmesan gives a nice zing to balance out the almost bacon-y flavor of the soup (which is I guess a function of the split peas as there was no bacon or ham in sight...)
