Butterscotch Oatmeal
So I grew up on the stuff that came in a little package that you simply add water to. That was until I met my husband; who introduced me to the old school way of oatmeal. I tried it once and have never looked back. It is So Simple, So Good; Not to mention So Good For You. No more instant for me. I want the real deal.

1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 tablespoon butter or margarine

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, brown sugar and egg. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5-7 minutes or until mixture boils. Add oats; cook and stir for 1 more minute. Remove from the heat. Add butter; cover and let stand for 3-5 minutes. For garnish sprinkle some extra brown sugar on top.
* Chef’s Note – For an extra touch garnish with your favorite fruit like sliced bananas or blueberries.
Spaghetti Pie
This recipe was giving to me from a friend, from a friend. It gives a whole new spin on just ordinary spaghetti. Warning: This is a dish I label as “A FEEL GOOD MEAL”. In the sense that it takes a lot of steps to complete. Save this for those special occasions or simply Just Because. Happy Chefing!

Ingredients
1 Gallon Pitcher
2 Family Size Tea Bags
2 cups of Sugar
1 pack of Lemonade Kool-Aid
1 cup of Minute Maid Peach Juice
Sliced Lemons for garnish (optional)

Italian Potatoes
Ingredients
8 red potatoes, cut into quarter chunks
1 package of Italian Dressing & Salad Mix
1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
1/4 cup of butter
chopped parsley, garnish (optional)
Instructions
Wash and scrub potatoes clean; cut them into quarter chunks. Place into pot with water and bring to a boil until fork tender. This should take about 30 to 35 minutes. When they’re cooked through, the fork should easily slide into the potatoes with no resistance, and the potatoes should almost, but not totally, fall apart.
Drain the potatoes in a large colander. When the potatoes have finished draining, place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove over low heat for about 1-2 minutes. This allows all the steam to escape, before adding in all the other ingredients.
Turn off stove and add butter, garlic,Parmesan cheese and Italian dressing mix. Carefully toss potatoes until well coated and throw a few pats of butter over the top. Garnish with some chopped parsley for color (optional).
