Loaded Mashed Potato Gratin

If you're looking for a tasty side dish to make for a crowd, this Loaded Mashed Potato Gratin is PERFECT! With bacon, sour cream, and cheddar cheese, how can you go wrong!  You can prepare the mashed potatoes up to a day ahead of time; then bake when you're ready. Which means less time in the kitchen and more time with your guests. Even when not entertaining, I like to make extra mashed potatoes so that there are some left over. Then I whip up some of these Corn and Cheddar Mashed Potato Fritters which the girls BEG me for every time I make mashed potatoes.

Tarragon & Lime Cornish Hens

I don't make cornish hens often, in fact the last time I made them was when I made the Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens back in May 2012. I don't know why I don't make them more often as my family, especially the girls, love them. In fact they used to call them "little chickens" when they were younger, but now that they've matured, they've penned them "pre-teens" and since the U.S. Agriculture describes them as "young immature chickens" I guess I'd have to agree with their terminology.
