Me & Betty Draper
I have recently become obsessed with Mad Men on A&E. My nephew bought me season one on DVD and that is how I have ended my day the last week. Of course, as with anything that I find that I enjoy I didn’t start watching until the 3rd season. The other night Betty made Don buttered steak for dinner (of course she didn’t get to enjoy it since he brought Roger home unexpectedly and she ended up with a salad) but it just sounded so good. How can it not be it’s cooked in butter? So tonight I am going to attempt to cook butter steak. I found this post on The Paupered Chef that has great directions. So wish me luck!
With my steak though I have made Garlic Hasselback Potatoes with Herbed Sour Cream. I found this recipe on the Food Network as one of the top 60 in 2009. They smell heavenly in the oven right now and my stomach is growling. I will post both recipes if they turn out as wonderful as I hope they go.
Till next time I wish all of you a Happy and Healthy 2010!

Mashed Potato Cakes
We took my sister down to Magee-Womens Hospital in Pittsburgh to see a genetics specialist. When my nephew was born he had Trisomy-13 which caused his heart to be enlarged on one side and we wanted to see if there was a possibility of this happening again. Fortunately we received good news and there is a 99% chance that this would never happen again. That was such a relief to hear.
I wanted to share another one of my favorite comfort foods. My mom would make this for us when we were growing up and it’s still one of my favorites.
These are so simple. Take your left over mashed potatoes add and egg and mix. In a separate dish combine some gluten free flour (whatever you have on hand) and add salt and pepper to taste. Shape your potatoes into cakes and dredge in flour.
In a frying pan add butter and oil and heat until it almost smokes and then fry your potatoes until golden brown.
These are excellent with leftover garlic mashed potatoes.
Enjoy…
