Potato Au Gratin(french "oh grah ton") Slowcooked

I got it off the internet.

Potato Au Gratinfrench oh grah ton Slowcooked Recipe

Ingredients

Potatoes au gratin
Servings6


5 medium-sized potatoes
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons of butter
3 tablespoons white flour
1 clove of garlic (peeled and minced)
1 onion (peeled and sliced)
1 cup of milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Chives (as much as you like, I love chives and am embarrassed to say how much I use)

Directions

5 medium-sized potatoes
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons of butter
3 tablespoons white flour
1 clove of garlic (peeled and minced)
1 onion (peeled and sliced)
1 cup of milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Chives (as much as you like, I love chives and am embarrassed to say how much I use)



1. Wash and peel your potatoes.
2. Slice potatoes into discs, roughly half a centimeter thick. For all my non-metric friends out there, think 2-3 silver dollars stacked on top of each other.
3. Line the bottom of your slow cooker pot with the first layer of potato slices, add salt and pepper to your taste or dietary liking, then add the next layer of potato slices and add salt and pepper again. Repeat this process until you're out of potato slices or you get tired of doing it, whichever comes first.
4. Melt butter in a pot set on medium heat. As soon as the butter is melted, whisk in flour until the mixture becomes thick and doughy. Add sliced onions and minced garlic. Keep on whisking and gradually add the milk.
5. Add the shredded cheese and continue whisking until you have something thick, but smooth, or get tired of whisking, whichever comes first. Lets be real, having pockets of semi-melted cheese in your dish can be a treat.
6. Pour your cheese sauce into the slow cooker pot on top of the layered potatoes. You may need to tip the pot back and forth so the sauce gets everywhere.
7. Cook on high in the slow cooker for ~3 hours, and then check every 15-30 minutes until you can easily poke through the potatoes with a fork (in the future, just remember how much time it took your slow cooker to get it perfect and you wont need to do this again.) Use chives for garnish.

Special Romaine, Apple, Blue Cheese and Bacon Salad

The combination of sweet and tart in this salad is refreshing and hearty. Add the dressing, with blend of contrasting tastes (orange juice, maple syrup and Dijon mustard) and it's irresistible. Just try not to eat it all in one sitting :)

Special Romaine Apple Blue Cheese and Bacon Salad Recipe

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients
8 ounces bacon (use regular bacon or a package of ends and pieces)
2 romaine hearts
1 large granny smith apple, peeled and diced
½ cup dried cranberries
6 ounces crumbled blue cheese
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Dressing Ingredients
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place bacon on sheet pan or rack. Roast bacon for about 20 minutes and allow to cool, then chop into pieces.

Chop apple and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.

In a large bowl, toss romaine, apple, cranberries and blue cheese.

For dressing, whisk together the vinegar, orange juice, mustard, salt and pepper to taste. Slowly whisk in olive oil.

Add bacon to salad. Toss salad with just enough dressing to moisten and serve immediately.

Store leftover dressing in the fridge and take out 10 minutes before use to bring to room temperature.

Peppermint Fudge

Putting ‘fudge’ and ‘healthy’ together in the same recipe seems unlikely, but it is possible. This recipe uses coconut oil, which is high in fat like other oils, but contains a special kind of fats (MCTs) that help increase the body’s ability to burn fat for energy.

Peppermint Fudge Recipe

Ingredients

½ Cup Coconut OR MCT Oil
¾ Cup Whipped Butter
3 Tablespoons Zero Calorie Sweetener
2 Tablespoons Peppermint Extract
4 Squares 100% Dark Cacao

Directions

Melt the chocolate on the stovetop, stirring in coconut/MCT oil and butter as it begins to melt completely. Stir until smooth and add peppermint extract and sweetener. Pour into a dish of desired dimensions and refrigerate until firm.
