White Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes

I don't really have too much to say about the origins of this meal other than I love potatoes (or anything starchy for that matter) and cheese. I am always looking for new ways to cook my starches, add cheese and still satisfy both myself and my husband as we're both picky eaters. I think I decided to make these potatoes as a side dish to some simple pork chops because I saw a recipe card at the grocery store for Gruyere Potatoes Au Gratin and I kind of wanted to try them but I knew my husband wouldn't like the cheese. Well, I lost the recipe card so I just improvised and made White Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes instead, knowing that my husband would get on board with White Cheddar! This recipe is enough for 4 side servings. Anyone have any ideas on what to add to the other half of the potatoes to make a meal for this weekend?!

Anyway, I was really happy with how these turned out, as I've never made scalloped potatoes before.


Ingredients
- 2 large, peeled baking potatoes, cut in to thin slices (1/8th inch)
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon fresh groung nutmeg
- 1 spring fresh thyme
- 1 1/4 cups cream
- 6 ounces (3/4 cup) White Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 2 ounces (1/4 cup) Gruyere Cheese, shredded
- S&P to taste
- Butter

Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- In a saucepan, heat cream, thyme, garlic and nutmeg
- Mix together two cheeses
- Meanwhile, butter a baking dish and layer 1/3 of the potatoes in an overlapping pattern
- Season with some S&P
- remove cream mixture and pour about 1/3 over the potatoes
- Top with 1/4 of cheese mixture
- Repeat each layer two more times
- Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes
- Top with remaining 1/4 cheese mixture and bake until golden brown (about 5 minutes)

    I have never made scalloped potatoes at home either, but your recipe looks so cheesy and delicious!

Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee Layer Cake

Yet another Katie recipe, and Williams-Sonoma recipe that didn't fail. I adapted two recipes to create a beatuiful cake for the first of my sister-in-laws bridal showers over the weekend. While I had some issues with the filling spilling over everything went well (once I found a good recipe for buttercream frosting that is!) I knew that there would be one cake at the shower that would be chocolate glaore and then another dessert so I wanted to make sure there was something non-chocolate for the freaks like me that aren't huge fans. This cake was amazing - Vanilla Bean Cake with a creme brulee custard filling and a buttercream frosting. ** I tried my hardest on decorating the cake - this is the first cake I've actually decorated, normally I've just made a sheet cake and just frost the top! Please don't make fun of it!!** Vanilla Bean Cake Adapted from: Good Things Catered Ingredients : 2 c. plus 2 Tbsp cake flour 1 c. milk, room temperature 6 large egg white

Key Lime Gooey Butter Cake

I'm from St. Louis.  The home of Gooey Butter Cake.  Many people think it's a Paula Deen creation, and how could you not when you see how much butter is in it, but you can't go in to a restaurant, bakery or grocery store without seeing gooey butter somewhere in St. Louis.  We love it.  What's not to love with butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, oh my! But, considering I've made it numerous times, I'm always up for a new variation.  Nutella?   Check !  Cookies?  Don't mind if I do !  Pumpkin?  Well of course !  While talking to my mom about what to bring to a family function, she mentioned she saw a recipe for key lime gooey butter cake.  Sold!  I've never heard of the website she sent over to me, but it looked similar to the basics of every other recipe I've used for Gooey Butter Cake so I knew I wanted to give it a try! One thing people may not realize is that Gooey Butter Cake is very easy to make.  Just a few ingredients really!  Just mix

St. Louis Style Pizza (Thin and Crusty Pizza)

Pizza crust is a very personal thing.  Thin, thick, pan, deep-dish, etc.  You love what you love.  I'm a St. Louisan - I love THIN crust pizza.  Like, cracker thin!  I've tried a few different thin crust recipes , and since they're pizza they're enjoyable, but when I saw this recipe on Cook's Country while watching some old videos I knew I needed to try it immediately.  Made it a few days later and it was fantastic.  This is definitely my new go-to cracker thin pizza crust recipe. What I loved best about this recipe is that it was so simple.  A handful of ingredients, no advance prep needed, no unique ingredients, simple.  Literally anyone that can combine a few ingredients together could make this recipe.  And because you don't need to prep it in advance, you could make the dough, sauce, top it and bake the pizza on many given weeknights!  A huge win for our house!
