loved it, my family appreciates your time in posting this!...do you by any chance have the bibliographic info for the cook book? -
WOW. . .this is creamy and sinful! I actually rubbed my potatoes in oil and then sprinkled some salt on them. . .375 degrees for 1 hour. I did add some extra heavy cream to the cheese sauce to thin it out a bit. I used manchego with great results. I also added some Spike all purpose seasoning for a bit more flavor. Great stuff.

I am 30 years old. I am married and have a wonderful family. My hubbie is the greatest. We have a 2 1/2 year old little girl. Her name is Lizzie Belle. I have pics if anyone wants to see. I work for a bank in Brandon, MS. My hubbie is a police officer in Jackson. I have a great cookbook that is called "Any Blonde Can Cook". It is awesome. I love to cook...when I have the time. My family keeps me pretty busy though. I enjoy reading books, going to the movies, traveling, spending time with my family, cooking, playing with Lizzie Belle, tanning, and getting my nails done.
