Instructions
  1. Preheat the waffle baker and grease it with cooking spray.
  2. In large bowl, whisk together oil, buttermilk and eggs. Stir in the mashed potatoes, scallions and cheese until well combined.
  3. 

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Fold the flour mixture into the potato mixture until it's well combined.

Scoop 1/2 to 2/3 cup (depending on the size of your waffle baker) of the mixture into the prepared waffle baker, spreading it into an even layer. (The potato mixture will not spread or expand as much as a regular waffle, so it's important to spread it in an even layer.) Close the lid and let the waffle bake until golden brown and the egg is cooked throughout.
  4. Transfer the waffle to a serving plate then repeat the filling and baking process with the remaining potato mixture.
  5. Serve the potato waffles topped with sour cream and garnished with additional chopped scallions.
Recipe Notes

KELLY'S NOTES: All leftover mashed potatoes will vary in consistency depending on how much cream, milk or melted butter you added to the original batch. If the waffle batter looks too dry and isn't holding together, add one more egg. If it looks too wet, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is cohesive. Do not lift up the waffle baker lid too soon or you’ll risk having the mixture separate and stick to the waffle baker. Allowing the waffle to cook through before opening the waffle baker ensures the waffle can be removed whole.

Instructions
  1. Heat crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chili seasoning in a large saucepan at medium heat, stirring frequently until simmering, then cover and cook at 130F for about an hour, so everything has a chance to cook together well.
  2. OPTIONAL: You can use a blander at liquefy or a hand mixer to bland until as smooth as you'd like. If you're using the blender, be careful blending hot liquids! Let the sauce sit for a few minutes before blending, start slowly, and vent the blender frequently when starting.
  3. Crumble and cook the hamburger in a large, deep skillet at medium high heat, stirring frequently. Drain excess fat and return to skillet.
  4. Add cooked elbow macaroni and sauce to skillet with hamburger, cook on medium low to medium heat until thoroughly mixed and warmed.
  5. Server immediately.
  6. Feel free to add any toppings you would like! We used grated parmesan on ours, but you could also use grated cheese of whatever kind you'd like, sour cream, chopped chives, chopped onion, salsa, crackers, etc.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees / 190 c
  2. Stuff ½ of one lemon into the chicken's cavity with 5-8 garlic cloves.
  3. Generously salt and pepper chicken.
  4. Add to dutch oven and throw in rest of lemon and garlic.
  5. Sprinkle chicken with oregano.
  6. If you like extra crispy chicken skin, add a pat or two of butter to the top.
  7. Add lid and cook 1½ hours, checking temp every 20 minutes after an hour. You want the temp to get to 160, and then remove the lidded dutch oven, as it will keep cooking to reach the safe internal temperature of 165 degrees for a chicken.
  8. Let dutch oven sit for 10 minutes after removing from oven to allow for carryover cooking, and so the juices have a chance to rest.
  9. Remove from pan, and carve!
Recipe Notes

Tips to Perfect Whole Roasted Greek Chicken

The only real work here is stuffing some lemons and garlic into the chicken and seasoning the bird up.

After that, just toss it in the pan and cook for about an hour and a half- and you’re done!

The chicken also gives off a delicious cooking liquid that is very gravy like, and very lemony.

The garlic also turns a delicious golden brown and has an incredible caramel flavor. I like to add a little of this to cous cous for an insanely delicious flavor!

I prefer using a chicken under 3 1/2 pounds – I feel they provide more flavor in this recipe. Look for free range organic chicken if possible.

While butter doesn’t seem like the proper Greek way (hello, olive oil!), every family I’ve eaten this dish wish from Greece uses butter for the flavor. I realize this is very Americanized, and you can use either – but the butter gives a lovely richness to the chicken skin that I just don’t quite get with olive oil. Go ahead and use oil if you prefer it though!

 Cindy's Small Pot Roast
I wanted to make pot roast, but there are only two of us, and all of the recipes I found online called for 2 1/2 - 5 pound roasts. That's a lot for two people! So I made this version, much more suitable for 2 people, without a lot of leftovers. Enjoy!

Instructions
  1. Remove roast from refrigerator about an hour before cooking - long enough for the roast to be about room temperature.
  2. Preheat oven to 325F.
  3. Heart oil in dutch oven to medium/medium-high heat. Pat roast dry and sprinkle salt and pepper on all sides, patting to help seasonings stick. Brown slightly on all sides - since it's a small roast and near room temperature, it won't take long on each side or you will start cooking it, maybe 45 seconds each side. Make sure to get every surface of the roast!
  4. Add sage and thyme to hot bouillon and mix well.
  5. Remove roast from dutch oven and drain excess fat. Place roast back in dutch oven and add hot bouillon, thyme, and sage. Make sure lid is on properly so that it hols all of the liquid and steam, and place in oven.
  6. Cook for 1 1/2 hours, then remove and add vegetables. Be sure to spread everything around so that it's totally cover with the liquid.
  7. Return to over and cook another 1 1/2 hours, or until roast is so tender it falls apart when you try to fork it.
  8. Move roast and vegetables from dutch oven to platter, and cover well to keep warm. Place dutch over with cooking liquid on burner on medium/medium-high heat. Add 2 Tbsp flour to liquid and whisk together. Let simmer until liquid is reduce to about 1/3 and gravy is thickened, whisking frequently.

Instructions
  1. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion to pan; cook 8 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add flour and garlic; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in milk and bay leaf; bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes or until thick, stirring constantly with a whisk. Add Gorgonzola, 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, and salt; stir until cheeses melt. Discard bay leaf.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°.
  3. Cook pasta in boiling water 5 minutes or until almost tender, omitting salt and fat; drain well. Add pasta to cheese mixture, stirring well. Place about 1/2 cup pasta mixture into each of 6 (1-cup) ramekins coated with cooking spray. (For a weeknight supper, bake the macaroni in an 8-inch square baking dish for 35 minutes.) Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella. Top evenly with remaining pasta mixture. Combine remaining 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano and panko; sprinkle evenly over pasta mixture. Spray lightly with cooking spray; sprinkle with black pepper. Bake at 375° for 25 minutes or until heated.
  4. I doubled the sauce recipe, but it still seems dry, might want to add more milk? An tuna or shredded chicken would be a great addition!
