.jpg) Do you know that I’m still getting requests, to get on the “Going private list?” I promise, that was an April Fools joke, that ended some time ago! I simply have too many recipes. I can’t cycle through them fast enough. Look . . . See This recipe is not one you should soon forget… .jpg) My husband left for work at 4:10 this morning . . . crazy guy. He works hard. He tried to be quiet and not disruptive, but it didn’t work. Once he’s gone . . . I’m wide awake. I emptied the dishwasher at about 5:00 a.m. As I was putting things away, I spotted this:… 
I have been trying to find a chicken and broccoli recipe to mimic the local Chinese restaurant. This one is as close as it gets. I tripled like you suggested and added water. It was very good. Thanks.November 1, 2012 – 6:03 pm 
Made this last night – it is wonderful. The sauce is blue ribbon delish. I love your website. It is a rainy cool day in Minnesota so I am enjoying myself here – the Banana Walnut bread is in the oven. Now…… what to make for dinner. 
Thank you for a great recipe! I too have subjected my family to years of boring, tasteless stir-fry. But everyone loved this one! I think the only thing I will change is the amount of pepper, but I’m a spice wimp. Obviously I didn’t include the red peppers, I’m seriously a wimp! 
Yum! Made this tonight for dinner and was impressed at how easy and delicious it was! I loved the sweet and spicy flavors. Thank you!February 15, 2012 – 9:12 pm

I made this last night. So delicious! This sauce is definitely a winner for future stir fry’s. My family loved it and it was easy to make. 
I know this might be a silly question, but I have to ask. So if you made it at 7am.. how did you store it to serve it at dinner time? I would worry that the veggies would get soggy? It looks delicious, can’t wait to try it! I love your blog, it’s amazing. I just look at it all day long at work and get so excited to cook dinner! Thanks.April 28, 2010 – 11:58 am 
I have to tell you, this was a great dinner! My husband was thrilled to have stir fry that he actually liked. He’s always a good sport about what I fix, but he confessed tonight that he has always hated my stir fry! I couldn’t blame him as I had a hard time eating it myself. It was just nourishment. How boring! I did make a mistake, though. I got on auto-pilot and tripled the whole recipe without thinking. I even tripled the red pepper flakes. Oh, Mama! It was HOT! But definitely still tasted good. I can’t wait to make it again with less spice! Thanks for your fun blog! I don’t always have time to comment, but I want you to know your efforts are appreciated. And I was so surprised to see that you have grandchildren and a grey-haired husband! You sound way too young for all that! (:April 22, 2010 – 7:20 pm 
WOW! That is what I have to say I have been looking at your amazing website for the last two hours. The pictures and step by step are so refreshing. I just love to have the pictures of step by step when I haven’t made a dish before, it simplifies and takes out the stress factor. I want to make each and every one of your dishes they look fabulous!April 8, 2010 – 9:21 pm 
Hi Jonna, I just wanted to write you a note to say how much I enjoy your websites. Your photography is awesome, recipes delicious and sense of humor refreshing!!! I’ve been unemployed since May 2009 and it can be very depressing doing the daily job search, so before I get off my butt from in front of the computer feeling defeated, I check out your site and it always lifts my spirits…and makes me hungry!!! Looking forward to making the Broccoli and Chicken Stir Fry tonight! Happy Spring!~amy~March 25, 2010 – 6:47 am 
Gotta say 7 am or 7 pm it looks really good! 
Ooooh wow this looks so good, i love stir frys, ill definately be having to try this one! 
Okay, you’ve done it now – I’m in love with this recipe and your tutorial! I have to host a YW Pres luncheon at my home in April and guess what we’re having . . . .yummm. I just wondered if you come and cook for people!?!!!!! THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK for all of us who resort to Wendy’s chili for breakfast, lunch and dinner!!! I’m going to try your crumble too. YOU ROCK!March 24, 2010 – 1:05 pm 
MMMMMM my mouth is watering. 6 in the morning! Your crazy Mom, and Dad 4 in the morning…even crazier! You guys are such wonderful examples though, and i appreciate having that in my life. Your such an inspiration!!! I loved it when you would get the wok out when we were younger. I LOVE that dish. To be honest though I never remember you making it with chicken, only beef. YUMMMMM!!!March 23, 2010 – 4:31 pm .jpg) You simply don’t need to attend a wedding . . . to EAT these delicious - tender little cookies. Make sure that you . . . The recipe doesn’t call for this, but I always add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon. Always sift the flour when making these cookies. It will make them fall apart in your mouth!… 
Thanks so much Melanie! 
YOU ARE AMAZING!! I don’t even remember how I found your blog but since I did (3 days ago) I’ve being going to bed around 3am just because I can’t take my eyes out of all the beautiful pictures and awesome recipes. YUM! My Pinterest account is full of them 
These cookies make me want to get married. Or go to a wedding, or whatever it takes to get these cookies in my mouth!April 26, 2010 – 8:11 pm
I made some of these babies at Christmas time. They are very good. 
There are lots of names for these…I have been making them for years. We call them Sandies…but I know they are also called Wedding Cookies. We always make ours with pecans but I’d love to try almonds the next time. They just melt in your mouth!April 23, 2010 – 10:16 am 
MMMMM–nummy!! These are one of my absolutely favorite cookies. Never tried the almond extract before, so will have to try it next time I make these. CJApril 21, 2010 – 5:53 pm
Why DO YOU HAVE TO TEMPT ME LIKE THAT!!! If I made them I would have to walk 20 miles, not the 3 I did today! MMMM I just love them, and they do look beautifuly perfect!April 21, 2010 – 5:06 pm 
Those are some of my favorite cookies! Yours look perfect! Cheers, RosaApril 21, 2010 – 3:55 pm .jpg) In the realm of Scalloped Potatoes, this recipe is the winner . . . at least in my book. It’s a Family Favorite. We make these for almost every holiday dinner, and in between. When I was younger, we would devour these very quickly at the dinner table. If there were any left-overs, we would… 
Hi Deona, That’s fine…thanks for asking. JonnaMay 11, 2013 – 3:58 pm 
This looks so good! would you mind if I posted this recipe to a recipe page I have on facebook. I would include your link to this page so people know it is your recipe and not mine. I will be trying this for sure. Looks great!!May 11, 2013 – 12:32 pm 
I will totally be making these, with chicken, with ham. I can’t wait!!! Thank you very much!May 9, 2013 – 12:27 pm
Hi Chris, Thanks for sending me a sweet comment. You should email me your JonnaMay 7, 2013 – 7:54 pm 
This is the second time that I am making these potatoes since I found your recipe 3 days ago! They are awesome!!! My picky, hard to feed daughter, tells me they are her new favourite next to my home made perogies! Thanks sooo much!May 7, 2013 – 6:12 pm
Hi Eileen, You sure are! If your potatoes are cut a bit thicker, they will still work just fine, but take a bit longer to cook through. These seem to need a bit of salt, but you could JonnaMay 6, 2013 – 7:18 am 
I just made this creamy cheesy potato and as we speak it is now in the oven. I did not see the shoestring size though. I cut the potatoes up the size of fries. I hope that would still work. I put bacon bits, thus not putting any salt because i figured bacon is salty already. Am i on the right track?May 6, 2013 – 2:35 am
Hi T., Thanks so much! Sounds like a real time savor. JonnaMay 5, 2013 – 9:13 pm 
Here’s a bit of a time saver to save you half of your baking time. After you cut the potatoes into scallops leave them in flat slices and omit cutting them into fries. Put the potatoes slices into a boiling pot of cold water and turn on the heat. When the water begins boiling reduce the heat to a simmer and Cook for 7 or 8 minutes more. Drain thoroughly and layer them in a baking dish. Then when you pour in the cream, pour in an equivalent amount of water and add three or four pats of butter. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes at 375 degrees. Check the potatoes the last ten minutes, if they begin to dry out too quickly, especially if you are at sea-level, add a little milk (1/4 cup) to finish baking the dish. The last ten minutes of baking after you add an additional liquid as necessary, gently stir in your cheese and cover the dish with grated cheese topping. Allow it to melt and get a slight crust over the top. This dish is actually a kind of au gratin potatoes and you can also make it without the cheese as simple scalloped creamed potatoes. Adding about 3 drops of Tabasco Sauce (concentrated Cayenne) when you add the cream and water does not make it hot, but adds a bit of delicious flavor. This is a nice comfort food and many cultures make it basically the same way as slices, fries and chunks and baby whole potatoes.May 5, 2013 – 9:04 pm
Thanks so much christie! JonnaApril 19, 2013 – 9:25 pm 
I used bow-tie pasta. I cooked it almost all the way (just a few minutes short of it being done) before I put it into the baking dish because I didn’t think there was any way it would soften up in the oven alone like the potatoes do. I pretty much followed your directions, but I took it out of the oven after about 40 minutes. Next time I’ll probably try it at 350 or 375 degrees instead of 400, but other than that it was great! Like I said, my very picky kids loved it and my little one who I can never get to eat even asked for more! Whenever I make it with potatoes, I nestle pieces of cooked chicken in there too, I’ll be doing that as well next time I make it. Thanks for such an awesome recipe! I’ve been making this for years thanks to you!April 19, 2013 – 9:18 pm
Hi Christie, I’m so glad this worked. Tell us all….I’m thinking you used “un-cooked” pasta? Thanks for sharing. JonnaApril 19, 2013 – 8:06 pm
Thanks for your response! I wasn’t expecting a response so soon, so I ended up trying it with pasta anyways (since my kids were begging for mac and cheese tonight!) It turned out really good! I’ve made it with potatoes several times before and I definitely like it more with potatoes, but pasta (with some broccoli snuck in) was a winner with the kids so I’ll definitely be making it again like that!April 19, 2013 – 7:25 pm
Hi Christie, I just don’t think that you should substitute pasta in this dish. There are several other pasta dishes with yummy sauces on the blog, so pull up a chair and browse! Hope this helps,
Do you think pasta would work instead of potatoes?April 19, 2013 – 2:31 pm 
Tried these and they were delicious! The entire family ate them up and it was enough for dinner two nights. They even reheated in the oven well. Will be making these again. The only change I made was to use a combo of sharp cheddar and white sharp cheddar cheese. Yum!!!April 13, 2013 – 11:17 am 
Ohhhh Wowwww, this looks great! I am going to try it,March 28, 2013 – 6:26 pm 
I just made this dish and it was great! I saw a comment from someone earlier wondering about using frozen french fries-well i used them bc i didnt have any raw ones on hand and they worked great! Deff easier than cutting up raw potatoes and it worked just fine! I used regular frozen straight fries (not shoe string- i think they would be too thin since they’re pre cooked) and i cooked them for the entire hour! Great recipe!March 17, 2013 – 4:29 pm 
This is very similar to my sister-in-law’s recipe. We always request it for all of our holiday gatherings. She uses frozen hashbrowns instead of making raw fries. Although she only uses heavy whipping cream and adds a little Lawry’s seasoning salt on top. They are so good! She is well known for these potatoes. I just thought I’d add a variation to your recipe. It’s a real time saver to just throw in the frozen hashbrowns and add cream. I’ve also added diced ham to make it like scalloped potatoes and ham. Heavenly!March 16, 2013 – 9:08 pm 
These were SO yummy! My husband & brother talked about them all through dinner! I added real bacon pieces also!March 15, 2013 – 9:38 pm 
LOVED this dish. Also love how versatile it is. Tonight I made it with cut up chicken breast i sauted in chopped onions for a few minutes and put the mixture in with the potatoes. I also covered with bacon bits. After applying salt and pepper i also applied McCormick’s Perfect Pinch roasted garlic and bell pepper seasoning. Thank you so much for posting this recipe!March 12, 2013 – 9:34 pm
Hi Jennifer, Oh Kielbasa Sausage sounds like the perfect addition! JonnaMarch 12, 2013 – 9:53 am 
I have made this several times, and it will most likely elevate my cholesterol quickly… It is so delish though that its worth it. Tonight I thought, how can I make it into an entire meal? I remembered I had some Kielbasa sausage… I just threw that in for a one dish meal. It’s in the oven now, I can’t imagine it being anything but fabulous!March 11, 2013 – 5:53 pm 
We absolutly love these potatoes. The first time we tried them I made them exactly like yours. Then the next time I added real bacon bits on top of the potatoes before the cheese, made them even better. Give that a try if you like bacon.March 5, 2013 – 4:26 pm 
Wow! This looks great. I am fascinated to have a recipe without cream of chicken soup. You had me at that heavy creamy stuff. It is fantastiv!February 26, 2013 – 1:04 am 
OMG – I have had these when I was in Sweden in 2006 but there was an addititon to it I didn’t think I would like. My friend smashed up a can of anchovies – OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!! I had 3 servings – Please don’t hesitate to try this – I never liked anchovies but this changed me.February 23, 2013 – 7:59 pm 
A sprinkle of crispy bacon…perfect!February 19, 2013 – 5:11 am
Really!February 16, 2013 – 12:00 pm 
Don’t forget to have a leafy green veg with this to make it nutritionally perfect!!!!February 16, 2013 – 11:01 am 
You weren’t kidding, these were delicious! My son and I loved them.February 13, 2013 – 9:50 am 
Hi, 
I like what I see on your blog and am excited to follow you by email. My favorite recipe we had for the Super Bowl was Deviled Eggs from South Your Mouth. (They are always my favorite.)
Hi Tanya, Unfortunately, raw potatoes do not freeze well….they get mushy and discolor. Peel and cut the potatoes you want to freeze into “french fry lengths.” To cook the frozen French fries: toss frozen potatoes with 2 tbsp. of oil, place them in a single layer on a sheet pan and bake at 425 degrees until nicely browned (about 15 to 20 minutes). Turn occasionally. Salt and serve. I don’t do this often, but I know that if you partially cook the potatoes it will work. Just don’t toss them in the freezer “RAW” JonnaJanuary 31, 2013 – 10:44 am 
I was wondering if you can put all of the ingredients in a foil pan and freeze it. If so, how much longer would you have to bake it in order for the potatoes to cook through? I love this recipe and have had it many times, but I also like to make a surplus of menu items and stick them in the freezer for easy go-to dinners.January 31, 2013 – 4:24 am
Hi Julie, You probably could, but it would be more like scalloped potatoes. Not as rich and creamy. JonnaJanuary 21, 2013 – 6:52 pm 
Hey there! This looks so yummy. I wonder if i could make this with milk? What does everyone think?January 21, 2013 – 7:07 am
Hi Monet, I’ve never done this in a crockpot before. I think that you would lose some of golden brown potatoes JonnaJanuary 16, 2013 – 4:21 pm 
Plan to make this but will add sliced onions!January 12, 2013 – 11:32 pm 
could you make this in a crockpot? If so, how long and what setting? I would be doubeling the recipe…January 12, 2013 – 9:06 pm 
Loved this!!! I made it for Christmas dinner and there was nothing left!!!!!January 10, 2013 – 8:42 pm
Hi Mary Ellen, Artic Circle is a fast food franchise around these parts. I’m sorry…. JonnaJanuary 10, 2013 – 5:33 pm 
I made these for lunch today. I decided to cube the potatoes, and since I only had one cup of heavy cream, I used sour cream for the other cup. Absolutely delicious! Thank you for posting such a great recipe (even if I did change it up a bit).
What does “Arctic Circle type of thin” mean? I’ll be making these today – they look delicious!January 10, 2013 – 9:03 am 
Sooo i made this tonight because it sounded and looked delicious… I thought : hummm yummy creamy cheesy american food !!!
Hi Brie, Gee …I’ve never tried this with Cream cheese. 
Would it work using cream cheese as a substitute for the whipping cream and other cheese? I’ve read that cream cheese is considered a “good fat” and is lower in calories. (Although, the recipe sounds DELISH the way you make it.) My tastebuds say :Oh yeah!” But my hiney says, “Oh no you don’t!”December 17, 2012 – 8:50 pm 
If u put chicken in it ..would u put it on the bottom raw ..or would u bake chicken first and cut it up?? or put it whole.baked on the top *** Hi Jamie, Brown the Chicken on both sides, then just layer it in between the potatoes….pour the cream over all, cheese, parsley, salt & pepper…cover and bake JonnaDecember 15, 2012 – 6:59 am
Hi Jessica, Look on my sidebar at my Favorite things, or even in the menu bar of my favorite products. JonnaDecember 11, 2012 – 3:13 pm 
hi! I am just wondering what your handy kitchen gadget is called that you used to slice the potatoes… thanks!!!December 9, 2012 – 8:18 pm 
This is how I make scalloped potatoes. Just slice (I keep the peel on) into a 9 x 13 pan and fill with 1 qt. half & half. Cover tightly with foil and cook approx. one hour. Open foil and sprinkle on cheese. Place back in oven until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.December 9, 2012 – 2:16 pm 
Found this recipe the other day and had to try them. Made them last night and my hubby said “This a KEEPER” Very good and so easy to make. SueDecember 6, 2012 – 6:49 pm 
Yummy!!gonna try.December 6, 2012 – 10:12 am 
I made this tonight and my husband loooooved it! I will be making this from now on during family parties. Thank you sooo much! One question, do you heat leftovers in the microwave or just pop it back in the oven for a few minutes?December 5, 2012 – 12:30 am 
I have a old corn slicer just like that, I was Grandma’s who was born in our house in 1898,and sharp is really sharp, I have cut my self on it twice so for me I’m much better off doing the slicing by hand. But the recipe sounds like a keeper and I will try it..Keep up the good page and recipes.. Hi Sandra, I’ve also cut myself many many times!!! 
Ok, going on the holiday to do list! Can’t wait to try this!
Hi Jessica, Go here: http://astore.amazon.com/goybab-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=12 It’s inexpensive, and you can use it for soooo many things! JonnaNovember 25, 2012 – 3:59 pm 
What is that fun little tool you used to cut the potatoes into fries?November 24, 2012 – 4:13 pm
Hi Nicole, I’ve never tried milk….I don’t think it would give you the same creamy dish! 
Can you use milk instead of cream?November 19, 2012 – 3:05 pm 
I tried it today and it came out super! Hubby loved it. Next time will add bits of bacon 
Found these on Pinterest. Made them last night and they were great… But I think the leftovers tasted even better today! Will definitely make again!November 12, 2012 – 5:36 pm
Yup…..lots of salt & pepper and parsley! 
I made these tonight and they were absolutely amazing! The entire dish was gone. I put a layer of chicken on the bottom and then the potatoes on top. Even my picky eater cleaned his dish! This will be moved to our family favs list! ThanksNovember 11, 2012 – 6:04 pm 
These were delicious, but make sure you use lots of seasoning. My were a little bland so I had to add salt and pepper at the end also. So creamy and good though!November 11, 2012 – 8:55 am 
I made these the other night and oh man-they are amazing! My husband even took a plate to work with him for breakfast the next morning. I didn’t use the parsley (didn’t have any) and instead of pepper I used garlic salt (can’t eat pepper). I’m making them again tonight, per the request of my family:) thank you!November 10, 2012 – 11:56 am
Hi Fay, I really don’t think that they would work very well. Frozen potatoes are usually partially cooked. I think the potatoes would be done much quicker than a raw potato, and then the cream would not have a chance to do its magic. I really say though….I’ve never used frozen potatoes in this dish. JonnaNovember 9, 2012 – 5:44 pm 
Hi was wondering if I can use shostring frozen potatoes in stead of fresh!? If so do I make it from frozen of let the potatoes thaw? Thx u FayNovember 9, 2012 – 1:46 pm
Hi Christina, You could use a shallow cookie sheet to cover the top of your baking dish. JonnaNovember 6, 2012 – 9:56 am 
Was wondering what happens if you don’t have foil????November 6, 2012 – 8:35 am 
I made this tonight as a side! And there isn’t a drop left in the pan! My family and I loved it! I used a white cheese but it still turned out just perfect! And I took the foil off the last 5 minutes to crisp up the top a bit! Thanks for this recipe.November 5, 2012 – 7:00 pm 
I have tried this recipe with frozen hashbrown potatoes and it is very good and quicker.November 3, 2012 – 6:34 am 
I found these on Pinterest and they are truly awesome! My favorite potato dish, and they are easy too! Thanks for this great recipe!October 31, 2012 – 4:28 pm
Thank you rhiannon!October 26, 2012 – 2:29 pm 
I made these tonight and they were absolutely amazing! I put pork chops cut into small pieces. This will be a favorite!October 25, 2012 – 9:11 pm
Hi Jo, I haven’t tried yogurt with these potatoes. You could always use half and half instead of cream. Buy reduced fat cheese if you like. JonnaOctober 11, 2012 – 3:48 pm 
These sound wonderful. At the risk of making some people cringe, has anyone tried substitutung greek yogurt for the cream? We’re always dieting and trying to eat healthy and that’s ths only way I could get away with it. Husband watches me like a hawk!October 11, 2012 – 11:56 am 
I have been eyeing these potatoes for quite a while and finally made them last night. They were incredibly delicious! Soooooo creamy & yummy. Thanks for posting this recipe. 
I try to avoid processed foods and I love that this recipe doesn’t use frozen hashbrowns, canned soup or ranch dressing mix. Thank you!October 3, 2012 – 5:49 pm
Hi Ki, Gee…never tried that, but it might be yummy! Let us all know. 
These look good! I was wondering do you think these would be good with chilli on top?October 2, 2012 – 5:56 am 
Wow these look amazing. It’s like mac and cheese meets french fries….I think I just died a little… ~ LinzerTartSeptember 22, 2012 – 7:07 am
Hi chelle, Cook the potatoes until they are fork tender. I like to lower the potatoes to the lowest rack for the last 30 min. or 
This recipe looks amazing! I was wondering though, I’m cooking some pork chops at the same time at 350, how long would you say I should cook these at this temp instead of 400? Also, should I try and put it towards the middle rack, or would it be better to be on the top rack or bottom? Thanks!September 16, 2012 – 8:54 pm 
Ok, after reading your story, which was hilarious, I HAD to try these potatoes. Oh… my! YUM! Perfect recipe, they were delicious. Yes I have leftovers and I’m glad I don’t have to hide them under my bed.
Hi Julie, You can add onions if you like. I have also made this the day before. I undercook it slightly. When cool refrigerate the potatoes. The next day, heat the oven to 250 and heat until nice hot & bubbly. JonnaAugust 24, 2012 – 4:17 pm 
have you ever made this ahead and also have you ever added onions. thanksAugust 24, 2012 – 12:10 pm
Thank You Eva! 
This is the best new recipe I’ve found in a long time. My husband loves these and every time I make them I’m amazed again at how good they are. The other day I didn’t have whipping cream, so I used evaporated milk with some melted butter. It wasn’t as good as the original recipe, but they were still good. Thank you.August 11, 2012 – 11:35 am
Thanks Deanna! 
This blog is awesome! I have this recipe in my oven right now and I can’t wait to try it!
Hi Taty, You probably could use a microwave, but it won’t make the bottom of the potatoes golden & crispy brown. 
I want to make this, but I don’t have an oven, is it possible to make it on a microwave?June 3, 2012 – 7:09 pm 
Simplicity at its best!! I made just two servings of this using ramekins and two potatoes. Used the julienne blade of my mandolin to cut the potatoes, guessed on the half & half (but did add some dry mustard to it) and used plenty of good cheese. This would be good also with a few chopped shallots or leeks added in. Could be dressed up even more but the original is great 
Looks great and yummy. Have to try this!April 8, 2012 – 10:08 pm 
I am surely gonna try this oneApril 8, 2012 – 5:47 pm 
I made these today and may I just say that these were the best and easiest potatoes EVER! Thank you for this recipe – I’ll never again make the laborious, time-consuming potatoes from my past!April 8, 2012 – 3:41 pm 
Thanks … now my all time favoriteMarch 30, 2012 – 9:47 am 
Looks soooo good.March 28, 2012 – 7:00 am 
Works great with bagged shredded thawed hashbrowns as well!!! I have cooked them that way 3x, no fail! Much less work. (:March 19, 2012 – 12:48 pm 
I just found one of your recipes on Pinterest . And all I can say is…. Oh my what a wonderful and great find too ! I will definitely be following you here and on Pinterest . And Very Closely I might add…. I love looking and trying new things. I have everything, so I will most definitey be making this tomorrow. So thanks for this new recipe ! ! !March 18, 2012 – 11:32 pm 
Omg that looks so good!Im drolling right now!March 2, 2012 – 12:17 pm 
Can’t wait to try these. I think I will have to try adding Bacon. Just when I thought I had hit the end of the Internet I am introduced to Pinterest and foodgawker. Pinterest led me to you and I am so happy! Ahhhhh food!February 28, 2012 – 6:24 am 
Yummiest potato chips. Nice!February 24, 2012 – 11:27 pm 
these look amazing! what a great idea to cut them into fry shapes! definitely will put on my ‘to do’ list!February 22, 2012 – 7:19 pm 
Just made this tonight for my family… AMAZING!!!! So glad I found this recipe!February 21, 2012 – 3:59 pm 
Holy cow – this is the perfect one-pan solution to my constant “what am I going to make for dinner tonight” quandary. My preschooler is going to LOVE this. Thank you!February 15, 2012 – 7:04 pm 
You bought me at “cheesy” 
Holy geez. Yes, please, and most definitely thank you. YUM!February 8, 2012 – 5:38 pm 
A potato dish with swagga…GOTTA LOVE IT!!!February 8, 2012 – 11:23 am 
The recipe is so simple and it looks amazing!February 5, 2012 – 3:01 am 
At first I wondered, just cheese and cream? Because we all know what happens when you just melt cheese…it turns into an oily mess. But I thought maybe with the cream it would mix somehow. Well I’m 50 minutes in and just pulled the top off. Yep….looks like an oily mess to me. Not really like your picture at all. How did your cheese not get oily without the use of a white sauce?February 1, 2012 – 4:12 pm
Hi Amanda, 
OMG!! That looks soooo very yummy!! I can not wait to make this, like right this minute!January 30, 2012 – 4:38 pm 
I know it wont be the same, but could frozen shredded hasbrowns be used instead of the fresh potato?January 30, 2012 – 12:26 pm 
I didn’t have heavy cream, so instead I mixed together 1 cup milk with 1 cup sour cream. Yummy!!January 29, 2012 – 6:48 am 
I just made hash browns for the first time tonight – wish I would have seen this instead! YUMMY! Come share them at my Friday link party {going on now}: http://www.dwellonjoy.com/2012/01/dwell-on-fridays-two.htmlJanuary 28, 2012 – 6:23 pm 
These look delicious!January 24, 2012 – 7:24 am 
Looks soooo good.January 20, 2012 – 7:04 pm
Thanks for you kindness. I’m learning manual….slowly! 
Oh my god! First of all i love cheese besides everything. Moreover, i have found these stunning images which make my mouth watering. Love all your recipes and best part is your photographs are really really stunning. 
I made these last sunday just to try & share w/a few coworkers. 
Wow! Those potatoes look amazing!January 5, 2012 – 6:51 am 
Great recipe! Makes my kitchen smell fantastic, plus it tastes amazing!January 3, 2012 – 6:18 pm 
This is my first visit to your website. This looks so amazing. I’m going to forward this recipe to my wife. I love potatoes and the cheesier the better I say!January 2, 2012 – 3:39 pm 
Deelish! Made them for Xmas breakfast & it’s officially a new tradition! Perfect compliment to eggs & sausage. I removed foil @ broiled them for a couple of min at end of bake time & it added a nice lightly browned yummy top! Thx for helpful pix!December 27, 2011 – 11:32 am
Thank you Jen!December 25, 2011 – 6:23 pm 
I had to jump on here and tell you…I just served this for Christmas dinner. I’m now the family favorite. THANK YOU for sharing this delicious recipe!!!December 25, 2011 – 4:33 pm 
Hi! I can’t wait tot ry these for Christmas this year!! I’m wondering if you’ve ever made them in advance? How far in advance? I’d love to make them a day ahead of time, but I’m thinking maybe that morning? Any advice? Thanks!!December 18, 2011 – 11:54 am 
I love potatoes au gratin but this is one of the most tempting versions I’ve ever seen.December 16, 2011 – 9:05 pm 
What a delicious casserole recipe, love this! 
I started using Stumbleupon yesterday and found these potatoes and made them today. My goodness. I ate almost all of them (at least I only made half of it) by myself. There were very few leftovers but I’ve already eaten most of those. 
NUTZ! I never should have looked at this on an empty stomach! I have the potatoes, just need to go out and get the whipping cream (right after I post this comment). Thank you!December 8, 2011 – 8:50 am 
those look greatDecember 6, 2011 – 2:35 pm 
Thanks.December 3, 2011 – 8:29 pm 
m-m-m-am-am greate view & taste 
Oh wow! This dish looks amazing, warm and comforting! I must try it 
I love potatoes and these look soooooo good.November 14, 2011 – 7:17 pm 
The color is so beautiful, but I may will make it with sweet potato. Thanks for giving me this idea.November 13, 2011 – 7:25 pm 
Made this last night and it was so good. I didn’t have parsley so I used rosemary. I am going to finish the leftovers right now.November 13, 2011 – 9:57 am 
Well what good to say about this page as everything here are the best? The images, the layout and the text, a perfect blend to provide the user in a meaningful way the information he was looking for asNovember 12, 2011 – 12:52 am 
I see you know what things in this world are good. 
mmmmmm yummy, this dish looks really delicious can’t wait to try it 
OMG they are looking yummy…. Mouth wataring. I just love potatoes and cheese. thanks for sharing.
Thanks Matti, 
This recipe looks so delicious! My mouth is just watering over here…I will try the recipe as you have stated above but I am also anxious to give some of the other ideas that your users have as well! 
When I first looked at this picture, I thought it was a cheesy pasta dish! This sounds absolutely sinful – all that cheesey goodness! Amazing!October 10, 2011 – 6:22 am 
THESE. ARE. AMAZING. 
I made these last night and they were the best potatoes I’d ever eaten! This recipe will be a family favorite forever now! Thank you!!!October 6, 2011 – 1:01 pm 
Yummy! Can’t wait to try this recipe.October 4, 2011 – 9:29 pm 
Now this has to be one of the best recipes I have seen using potatoes…September 28, 2011 – 10:37 pm 
Nice variation on scalloped/au gratin – I like the idea of cutting into fries instead of slices. Plenty of surface to coat with creamy, cheesy goodness!September 21, 2011 – 4:18 pm 
I can’t wait to make these for my family! They look absolutely devine! Not very healthy… but amazing none the less. Here’s a recipe for some great healthy cookies! No butter, no guilt! http://vancitybookgirl.blogspot.com/2011/07/delicious-healthy-cookies.htmlSeptember 14, 2011 – 9:39 pm 
[...] – BBQ Meatballs, creamy cheesy potatoes, [...]September 12, 2011 – 6:08 am 
Seriously, I knew there was no way that something this simple could be as good as it looks…I was so wrong. Amazing!September 7, 2011 – 7:47 pm 
i was blown away by the awesome looking pictures and the simplity of this recipe … but unfortunately pictures can be deceiving … i just made this … followed the recipe to a tee … not creamy .. very lumpy … and lacking in something … maybe some onion, garlic and basil … very disappontedSeptember 5, 2011 – 4:33 pm 
To add some depth to the flavor (although, lets face it, you can’t go wrong with cheese and cream!) heat up some white wine and saute some chopped red onions in it (just until they are soft). Pour the wine/onion mixture over the fries until well coated. Then add the cheese. It’s an addictive combination.August 28, 2011 – 5:07 am 
I am making these again today, except today I used my Feemster Vegetable Cutter, I found a brand new vintage one on Ebay. You are right it is awesome! These are even better warmed up the next day. My family loves themAugust 25, 2011 – 3:46 pm 
That looks soooo yummy. I am going to have to try this and some of your other recipes 
You’re killing me with this recipe. I’ve made it so many times since you first posted it. Brutal. Glorious. (It’s baking right now. It’s a zillion degrees outside and it’s a zillion degrees +400 degrees in my kitchen right now. And I DO NOT CARE!
I made these for dinner today after seeing the recipe on pinterest this morning. They were DELICIOUS, I can’t wait to see how they are as leftovers tomorrow. I think next time I may try to add some bacon bits in.August 15, 2011 – 3:49 pm 
I am making these for the second time. The leftovers are so much better than leftover funeral potatoes. Yum! Thanks for sharing the recipe. They go great with my BBQ meatballs and the leftovers are actually getting eaten.August 3, 2011 – 5:27 pm 
That looks yummy, Too bad my kids hate CHEESE!!! AagggJuly 28, 2011 – 7:07 am 
These look amazing! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! I gave you Thumbs up on StumbledJuly 20, 2011 – 8:47 am 
That first picture is so amazing I literally want to lick my computer screen. I’ve never actually wanted to do that before!!July 11, 2011 – 9:11 pm 
i have a very similar recipe but its done with onion soup 
Just made this. yummy! how long can they stay in the fridge before they go off?June 22, 2011 – 9:20 am 
this is a wonderful idea to make with potatoes. the photography is very good too.June 2, 2011 – 3:54 am 
yum yum yum 
Wow!! How yummy and yet so simple. I will definitely try. 
Heavens!May 5, 2011 – 4:57 pm
Hi Cheryl,
Hi Cheryl, 
I can’t seem to be able to print this recipe out? CherylApril 27, 2011 – 4:22 pm 
where did you get that corn cutter???April 27, 2011 – 4:19 pm 
So easy, and looks so delicious! I’ll definitely be making this. Won’t be using a corn cob slicer though, I love my mandolin!April 27, 2011 – 3:07 pm 
Now this is something new, fries and cheese. I suggest to put some deep fried fries on top to give it a crisp flavorApril 25, 2011 – 9:42 am 
So Jonna, I knew friend that I could count on you. I’ve been tasked to take a side dish to our Easter dinner on Sunday. I volunteered to bring some sort of potato. Wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to do, I’m little burnt out on the scalloped potatoes I’ve been making. So I decided to peruse – as I usually do when looking for a good recipe. I checked out the Pioneer Woman. Didn’t see anything. Then headed to Picky Palate, still nothing. Came over here (which is where I should have started) and found THESE!!! I will be making them FOR SURE on Sunday… I will definitely let you know how they turn out. I’m sure they will be fabulous, everything I make of yours is divine. Thank you for being there for me when I needed you 
This is in fact a very Nordic thing, very much like Ola said. In Finland we make loads of different variations of this dish by adding an extra ingredient in the mix. The most common ones probably are anchoves, cold smoked salmon, smoked ham, chicken or just other veggies to make a vegetarian one. My personal favorite is the one with cold smoked salmon, it’s incredibly good! And if you boost it up with a hint of goat cheese, you’re in heaven 
Wow total yum factor, bookmarked!!March 8, 2011 – 9:44 am 
Wow that looks so delicious -so simple too. I can’t wait to pull them out next dinner time!February 26, 2011 – 2:39 am 
Am I the only person here hungry at the moment?February 20, 2011 – 3:40 pm 
This does look good. I made a version using a pkg of cream cheese and 2 cups of ranch dressing, some chives, salt and pepper. Yummy!February 14, 2011 – 9:19 am 
Your corn cob cutter is actually a Feemster’s Famous Vegetable Slicer. After some looking, I found them on eBay…several available. This recipe looks DIVINE! Thanks for sharing it! I’m definitely going to try it right away, with the browned chicken breasts!January 23, 2011 – 1:01 am 
lovely! i just wanted to give you a tip; in Sweden we make almost the same thing. Skip the cheese and nestle in ansjovis instead. We call it “Jansons Frestelse” ( jansons temptation) it is a must for Christmas, but tates just as good all year around. best result with Swedish ansjovis, bot regular also works. 
Looks great! Missing BACON! I might have to make this with boring old cauliflower though since I’m on a low carb diet. But I can eat as much cheese and cream as I want! YUMMY.January 16, 2011 – 8:07 am 
Wow! This looks fantastic. I’m thrilled to have a recipe without cream of chicken soup too. You had me at that heavy cream. can you make this ahead of time? Like say in the morning and keep in fridge until dinner? Your blog is a great discovery. Can’t wait to try more.January 6, 2011 – 11:32 am 
WOW! These sound so good… I’m trying to eat healthier, but I don’t know if I can resist…January 4, 2011 – 11:58 pm 
Now this is some creamy, cheesy, potato goodness! Bon appetit! 
I have made these potatoes for two dinner parties in the last week! They are awesome! Love every recipe I have ever tried from this blog. thanks for sharing them!
Oh my goodness that looks amazing! You know normally I’m all about the dessert but not today! It’s all about those potatoes, which by the way will be on my table tonight! Thanks for the recipe, Jonna! 
finally, my kids will clean their whole plates. thanks, 
Easy and delicious. 
Ohhhh Wowwww, this looks great! I am going to try it, probably with half and half, but it looks amazing!April 19, 2010 – 3:10 pm
I have a fridge…I just need cream! MMMMM-these are so good. I just wish mine tasted as wonderful as yours ALWAYS do! I just don’t have the extra love or something in mine. AND, I WILL try and remove the tin foil before eating…your funny! They are that good though that you just might forget and devour it all!!!April 19, 2010 – 1:05 pm 
I think I will try this tonight! YUM! ThanksApril 19, 2010 – 1:04 pm 
Definitely making these. Funny, I always thought that was a pickle slicer … that’s what we always used it for! That and onions. I love your recipes! Thanks for sharing.April 19, 2010 – 12:43 pm 
Well, I love you even more for standing behind a potato dish without cream of chicken soup in it. I’ve been looking for the *perfect* cheesy potato dish. This looks like a must-try! (And I have a fridge so I’ll be ok…:)April 19, 2010 – 12:29 pm 
Oh my! I may have to run out and buy potatoes. 
Say me please, why everything YUMMY is a good calorie bomb?!?!?:))April 19, 2010 – 11:57 am
OMG, that casserole looks incredibly tempting! Creamy and cheesy to please! Cheers, RosaApril 19, 2010 – 11:35 am .jpg) Some like it hot, Some like it cold, Some like it in the pot . . . nine days old. I just like mine on chips! Admit it, you either like Salsa or you reject it . . . flat out. I have a four year old Grandson, who would pour it on his cereal… 
Well, the picture looks great & I will definitely give it a try but I’m curious that it has no tomatoes. Was just wondering if that was an oversight?????February 6, 2013 – 2:59 am 
Okay, I’m one of those that LOVE salsa and anything with heat! I use salsa in my recipes all of the time. I ask myself what’s lacking in this stew, what’s lacking in this, oh I know salsa! Lol. I’m definitely making this! Thanks so much for sharing! Yummy! If you like eggs with salsa you have to try Huevos Rancheros! So good. I have a recipe posted on my facebook notes.April 16, 2010 – 5:17 pm 
That looks sooo very yummy! I’m going to whip up a batch right now!
Why do your neighbors bring you salsa? I’m gonna have to have a talk with my neighbors. 
I Love Your Site! I haven’t visited it for a bit and I came across the picture of your beautiful kitchen. Do you happen to have a website or source where I can see your houseplan or a similar plan. I Love your Kitchen and want to design a house around it!
That looks really good! Cheers, RosaApril 12, 2010 – 11:46 am 
I just LOVE homemade salsa! I have been trying a few new salsa recipes and I will have to add this one to the “must try” list. It looks yummy! We also buy these amazing chips from Winco that are Juanita’s brand, and combined with the salsa, you are in for an amazing treat 
Hmmmm…chili sauce, who would have thought. My mother-in-law cans the best chili sauce in the world. I love salsa, I’m going to have to give this a try.April 12, 2010 – 10:38 am .jpg) I’m sooooo excited to share this yummy dessert with all of you. It’s one of our family favorites. I’ve yet to meet anyone . . . who doesn’t ask for the recipe, once they’ve put a fork-full on their tongue! Take a look! I don’t normally eat more than a bite or two of tempting desserts, but…
Hi Beth, For the Cupcakes Here is the Link: These are good!
Hi Beth, I think this is the link you’re looking for: Yum, 
I cannot find the picture/directions that you had for the smaller version like cupcakes. Can you help? I’m interested in making them for my son’s graduation party.
Hi Alys, 
Have you considered writing your own cook book from your site?November 2, 2011 – 9:57 am 
I made this today and it’s almost too pretty to eat but that didn’t stop me. It is awesome.April 15, 2010 – 9:01 pm
Thanks for the info Jonna! 
So, I tried this and brought it to a family dinner. Everyone loved it and commented on how light and fluffy it was. I also used strawberries in mine because I had an abundance of them and no raspberries. It was still great! One question though, would it work to bake this? I just had some questioning looks from some of my guests when I told them that it used three eggs and it wasn’t baked! LOL! It was sure gorgeous and yummy though!April 12, 2010 – 9:49 am 
Oh yum. Cheesecake is my favourite dessert and this looks just fantasticApril 11, 2010 – 8:08 pm
Ahhh this looks so yummy! I loveee raspberries, this looks delicious!April 11, 2010 – 1:42 pm 
I found this recipe just in time. My friends invited me and my husband over for dinner. It looks so good and wasn’t too hard to make!
My first visit to your blog…it’s really lovely! Copying your recipe and will try it this summer!April 10, 2010 – 12:01 pm 
Okay, I just got done putting it together and put it in the freezer to take to game night tomorrow night. It doesn’t look as pretty as yours, but it sure taste yummy on my fingers!
Hi Haley, This question makes me laugh! 
Just had to tell you, I love your blog, your writing, your beautiful pictures, and of course your recipes. I must ask you, what do you do with all of this delicious food you bake? Since it’s just you and your husband (it is for us too, since we have one little baby), do you just take it all to the neighbors? You could mail it to me if you have extra.
Hi Ingrid, Thanks for your question. I understand your concern about the use of Raw eggs. While most eggs are perfectly fine to eat raw, there is always a very small risk that one egg might be contaminated by bacteria. According to the American Egg board, about one in every 20,000 eggs might be contaminated by Salmonella. I have never tried this myself, but if you are leary, you could try this method of pasturizing eggs. You just must be very careful not to cook the egg! You can also buy pasteurized eggs in supermarkets. Here is what I found: How To Pasteurize Raw Eggs Place the eggs in a pot with cold water. Put the water on medium heat and stand by to watch as the temperature rises. You don’t want the temperature of the water to exceed 150 degrees. If you want to be exact, you can keep a thermometer probe in the water, if not 140-150 degrees is the stage before bubbles start to form. At that temperature, you can just about keep your finger in the water for a few seconds before you burn yourself. When you reach this temperature, try to keep it. So lower the heat, and watch so the temperature doesn’t rise, then keep the eggs in the water for about 3-5 minutes.April 9, 2010 – 10:37 am
Hey, Jonna! Thank you for the sweet comment! My family especially my Mom who is a fiend for raspberry desserts would go crazy for that. Just so I’m clear neither the egg whites nor the yokes were cooked? I don’t really have a problem with that but I worry about the kiddos. Do you use pastureized eggs? Thanks I know I ask a lot of questions. It drove my classmates crazy. LOL Happy Friday!
OMG… and I wanted to loose some kilos…!!!April 9, 2010 – 3:48 am 
This looks amazing and I love the colors!April 8, 2010 – 10:07 pm 
Just love your blog..this dessert looks out of this world!! I used your marshmallow frosting over Easter on my cupcakes and they were a big hit..I blogged about it and gave you credit.April 8, 2010 – 7:40 pm 
Oh my gosh Aunt Jonna I can’t even tell you how GOOD this looks!!! Seriously the minute I saw the title I gasped and all my roommates looked at me! haha then when I went to the picture I got even more excited! I have to try it ASAP! I hope everything is well with you! I’m hoping to try and come visit you soon!!! So I’ll be calling you! Love you!April 8, 2010 – 4:39 pm 
OH – MY – GOSH! I’m in big trouble now. I LOVE cheesecake but have managed not to make it for the past several years … I’ve been strong … but now … my defenses are weakening … I think I must. Everyone in my family is fanatical about raspberries. To hades with my dairy issues – I shall suffer the consequences!!!!April 8, 2010 – 12:50 pm
Wow! One of my favorite desserts from my Grandma is her Raspberry Cheescake. I have GOT TO TRY THIS! Thanks!April 8, 2010 – 12:47 pm .jpg) It’s snowing and Cold here today, some of our schools even closed! That’s something that doesn’t happen very often . . . around these parts. We can handle huge amounts of the fluffy white stuff – – Spring has simply not sprung in Idaho! I’ve got to happy myself up! Last night I made one of… 
My daughter found this recipe today. She immediately made a trip to the store for whipping cream and fresh aspagarus and we made it for dinner tonight. All I can say is: Heaven on a plate! Thanks for posting it.May 24, 2011 – 8:21 pm 
i tried your recipe for My Favorite Pasta. I just want to say that it is the best thing I have ever eaten…..in, out, or any other way you can eat! It was my mother’s day gift to myself and it was soooo worth it! I will have this recipe again and again. Thanks so much for your site and for sharing your wonderful talent for recipes and cooking! I love it!May 11, 2011 – 8:19 pm 
I made this for dinner tonight and my whole family loved it – even the kids (6,5,3 yrs old) Thats a feat! My husband just kept telling me how good dinner was. Thanks for the awesome recipe…it will definitely be used again! And I agree with you – the asparagus IN the pasta is delish!April 27, 2010 – 10:06 pm 
This was a wonderful recipe. 
I love my apron!!! I will send pic’s soon!April 20, 2010 – 3:10 pm 
I am so excited about the apron!! Thank You so much Jonna!April 13, 2010 – 8:59 am 
I made this tonight with the leftover ham from Easter and the little bit of bacon I had frozen. Rich and I both devoured it and he told me I should make it again!! Thanks for all the great recipes. I’ve only been married 6 months and I’m already asking, “What should I make for dinner?”!April 12, 2010 – 8:09 pm 
Your blog is great! I had the day off so I’ve have the Raspberry Swirl chilling in the freezer, Pretzel Bites baked and being snitched by everyone who passes by on the counter, and my chicken cooking for your Favorite Pasta dish! I’m SO excited to try more!
This is my first visit to your blog…and after seeing this pasta dish, I am hooked! I’ve already bookmarked to make this week. Can’t wait to look around some more. By the way, I found your blog through a commenter on my giveaway post today (actually several of them) who said you are their go-to place for great recipes.April 7, 2010 – 9:46 pm 
I’m so sad! For half a second I thought I had won. 
This looks like heaven! We’re big pasta eaters at this house. Can’t wait to try it. My husband has an acquaintance who butchers his own pork and makes the most delicious bacon! I call it crack bacon because I told my husband it wasn’t very nice to bring home bacon laced with crack. It’s that addictive! SO looking forward to tasting this!April 7, 2010 – 10:41 am 
I can’t believe I won. As they say here in TX YEE HAW!!! I’m super excited. And this pasta is the perfect thing for left over Ham we had on Easter. Thanks again for all the great recipes and the apron
Yea! I am so excited to receive my apron in the mail! Thanks so much and thanks again for all of your yummy recipes!!April 6, 2010 – 9:27 pm 
Since I didn’t win an apron, could I just come over for dinner instead. 
This looks DELISH. Beautiful photos! Oh, and I forgot to say on the last post that your husband is dashing. You’re a cute couple.April 6, 2010 – 8:36 pm
Congrats to the winner! .jpg) I’d like to introduce you to my better half – my best friend. The Father of our four daughters, our great provider, and my warm place. As I’ve been in comment heaven . . . he ruined it, with the look . I could barely look at him . . . so I didn’t! O.K. O.K. I… 
First, where did you buy those beautiful bar stools?! I want some. Seriously. If you can remember where you got them, I do want to order them. Ive been looking for something like that for YEARS. Second, I LOVE orange rolls so Im definitely going to try these.August 1, 2012 – 8:52 pm 
Just discovered you today through Pinterest. Love the blog and you have a gorgeous kitchen. 
Hey Jonna, just making your 7 layer bars AGAIN, my family is up from arizona and they always request treats from me because I am second only to you! I told them I had a recipe they would die for and she said she couldn’t die until Friday so I told her maybe she’d better not eat any of these becuase they just might kill her. I might just as well smear them on my thighs and butt as eat them cause thats where they’re going anyway! Elleah and I have a blast pouring over your blog and my entire family spread all over the country is in on it. I hear you dont’t eat much of the stuff you bake, believe me, it has been discussed! how could you and look like you do? I’m just down the road if you need a place for your leftovers!!!!May 29, 2011 – 2:34 pm
I WANT YOUR KITCHEN. Is it bad to covet another’s kitchen.. LOL. Probably. So you mentioned you baked them during Conference?? Are you LDS? I kind of wondered.. we kind of all stick out! 
I’m REALLY slow to the party but I will blame it on trying to plan a wedding. For the past week I’ve faithfully checked google reader, do a little prayer…please don’t let JGOYBB be private…just one more day. Must have more recipes!!! Today I decide to investigate to make sure I didn’t read the original post wrong only to stumble upon this post declaring said joke. WOW!! Talk about slow and SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO thankful that it really is a joke and I can now take a deep breath and go back to enjoy the wonderful recipes that I can’t wait to make for my soon to be husband! Thank you so much for taking the time to share with all of us your wonderful kitchen and talents! Agape~WyndiApril 13, 2010 – 9:01 pm 
YEAH! I’m so glad it was a joke! I love your website! How cute are you two and how fabulous is your kitchen? I didn’t know you were LDS as well! Wasn’t conference amazing this year? I loved Holland’s talk so much! We even had Orange Rolls similar to those on Easter morning! TAKE CARE! ; )April 7, 2010 – 11:59 am 
i just love your website, it actually makes me want to start cooking again.April 7, 2010 – 11:22 am

Orange rolls oh my I think I have to go shopping so I can make these.April 5, 2010 – 1:39 pm
Okay, I’m confused. Like uh, really confused. LOL Help?! Man, you’re torturing mw with those rhodes rolls. You know I never found the TX size ones just the regular. Do you keep yours in the freezer? I can never remember to take them out in time to make your recipes as the thaw time is like FIVE hours. I will though soon as I have two bags of those suckers and you just keep pumping out these killer recipes! Hope you had a blessed Easter! 
Phew!! Glad to hear you are not going anywhere!April 5, 2010 – 10:38 am 
I love your sense of humor as well as your recipes. Your kitchen is to die for. I had recently requested to be added to your April Fools list and I want to know if you sell your adorable aprons? I also want to know how you stay so thin making all these scrumptious,fattening treats.Thanks for your inspiration.April 5, 2010 – 10:04 am 
I love your blog. And love your recipes. And may I add…If my kitchen looked like yours I would get off my butt and bake more often 
LOL!!! I knew it. We LOVE you Jonna! There was NO way you could go private with all these GORGEOUS photos and recipes that MUST be shared with the WORLD! ; D P.S.

Hi I made the perfect waffles a few days ago, they were delicious. Thanks for the recipe.April 3, 2010 – 8:59 am
Hi Why would you want to go private, there are so many good recipes on this blog that a lot of people that are just learning to cook could benefit from your blog, the pictures and recipe instructions are so clear and precise and you give a quick response to people who leave comments on your blog if they need a little help with the recipes. But if that’s your decision to go Private, I hope I’m included. Thanks. Jackie, curves66@live.com.April 3, 2010 – 8:57 am 
I am not a blogger but LOVE reading your blog-it has been the inspiration for many many dinners! Please add me to your list if there is still room.April 3, 2010 – 8:11 am 
Please include me in your list if you can. I love to see your ideas.April 3, 2010 – 7:55 am 
Your site is fantastic… the recipes, the photos, the writing. I am hoping that 100 limit isn’t real and this was an April fool’s joke!! I can’t imagine not having your site as a resource!April 3, 2010 – 7:52 am 
Ahhhh I hope this is a joke! I will be so, so sad if I can’t read this blog anymore. 
PRIVATE??? I am so saddened! I really hope it was just a joke, you don’t seem to post anything personal on here! Anyhow, if there is still room I would love to still be able to look up tried and true recipes every week!April 3, 2010 – 7:11 am
I am not a blogger but I love to look on line and I love to shop on line. I just recently discovered your fantastic site and I absolutely LOVE all you ideas. I have actually been inspired to get off my butt and bake. Everything is GREAT. I see I am probably too late to get in your private link but hope that maybe I will still have a small chance. Your aprons are adorable. Either one would be fine. Do you by chance sell them as well ? Have a few ideas for gifts to my friends. Thanks again for all your ideas
Okay, this pretty much sucks . . . because I’m YOUR *****#1 FAN***** AND I’m going to get ACED out of you going private – I’m like comment #250!!!! Oh Crap!!!! I LOVE your aprons – soooooo cute. I love them both, BUT, if I had to choose, it would be the pink one! Okay, I’d like to petition for clemency and would love to have my NAME moved to the FRONG of the list (special favors for x-neighbors = political pull) ! ! ! ! ! QUESTION: WHY ARE YOU GOING PRIVATE? You must run these major decisions past your ‘agent’ (that would be me) before you make these life-altering decisions!!! Luv, MeApril 2, 2010 – 11:52 pm 
I love your site Shaliec@hotmail.comApril 2, 2010 – 11:28 pm

Both aprons are darling! Thanks for sharing your many recipes and so much more!April 2, 2010 – 11:21 pm 
oh… I sure hope this is an april fools joke… not a funny one… would miss your recipes…and ideas.. but I like the pink…April 2, 2010 – 11:10 pm 
did you just want to see how many friends you had or are you seriously making this private??!!! There is no way you could limit this blog to 100 people… so not fair. you have to add me to your list. I have been checking your blog about everyday the past year and a half / two years – basically the beginning. ooooh – and i love the pink apron (green one is super cute too.)April 2, 2010 – 10:52 pm 
Hey, Jonna! 
I love your food blog. It is one of the only places I come to get recipes and dinner ideas. Since I see you already have so many comments, I am sure I cannot be added to your private list. I will miss coming to visit! Thanks for all your wonderful ideas! And like so many other people said, I also hope this was an April Fool’s joke!
Your site is fantastic… the recipes, the photos, the writing. I am hoping that 100 limit isn’t real and this was an April fool’s joke!! I can’t imagine not having your site as a resource!April 2, 2010 – 9:24 pm 
Oh no!!!! I love your blog. I check it all the time and have made so many of your recipes. I just made your oreo hot fudge cupcakes when I had company last weekend and everyone loved them so much that I had to make more. I have gotten so many wonderful recipe’s and good ideas from you!

Oh no! You’re going private and you have now over 100 people to add to your list already!! Have you ever thought of selling your recipes in a blog book??? I would totally buy it. I am sad that you’re going private. I have used several of your recipes and every recipe always turns out so great. By the way…I have discovered the connecting of your daughter Danielle and my sister Lisa. My sister Lisa married Rick Hone. 
Oh Jonna, Please add me, I look at this thing all the time! I LOVE IT! britty_bug@hotmail.comApril 2, 2010 – 3:18 pm

I dont think I’ll be in sincerelyApril 2, 2010 – 2:48 pm
Say it ain’t so!! I have relied on this site for almost two years for inspiration and ideas when I’m in a culinary slump. I sure hope I make “the cut” when you go private. As far as the giveaway goes, I’d actually rather have the cook book!

Arpil Fools to take it private … right??April 1, 2010 – 4:49 pm .jpg) I love Easter, not only for what it represents, but The Colors of Easter make me Happy! Today . . . I had some Color fun. I made some Happy Cupcakes! It might have been snowing like crazy here today, but it was Spring in this house! I also made some funky colored Caramel Corn…. 
Hi Jennifer, 
Love your blog….everything about it. In the Easter cupcakes is it really ok to use raw egg whites ? Does it have to be refrigerated or cooked? Would love to make for my daughter’s First Communion. Thanks.March 3, 2012 – 9:43 am
The munchkin(2yoa) and I made these cupcakes today. They definitely perked up a very dreary rainy April day! And they were so easy that it didn’t matter that she likes to put everythikng in at once whether it should go at not.April 13, 2010 – 11:07 am 
I love the glossy factor in the marshmellow frosting! Must try this!April 1, 2010 – 11:20 am
Good Job! Very professional looking! 
Hi Jonna!
What Lovely colors! Everything looks so delicious and colorful! Happy Easter to you too! Cheers, RosaMarch 31, 2010 – 10:23 pm |

Jonna - Hi Melissa,
It still tastes scrumptious! It might not be quite as creamy, but they will never know the difference!
JonnaNovember 14, 2011 – 1:50 pm
Melissa - How did it taste with fat free cream cheese? This looks so delicious! Thank you for posting a low fat dessert, they are hard to find. My boys will thank you, since they can only have low-fat foods, and often have to skip desserts.November 14, 2011 – 11:57 am
Tara (Garner) Bennett - Hey Jonna! What a fun cooking blog! I just recently asked my mom for the recipe of this cheesecake because it was always a favorite growing up and I would always request it for my birthday! Glad to see you put it on here! I am going to make it soon!June 4, 2010 – 7:21 pm
Julia - Wow, this looks amazing, and not crazy bad for you like some cheesecake can be. I can’t wait to make this this summer!May 24, 2010 – 2:38 pm
Natalie - I cant believe how delicious this cheesecake looks, I havent made a good cheesecake in a while..I may have to try this one hehe.April 25, 2010 – 1:53 pm
Krystin - I just wanted to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I am teaching a 4-H cooking club at my school and I have used many recipes. We just made the mini monkey bread last Wednesday and the girls LOVED it! Thank you for taking your time to put your recipes on this blog! You are amazingApril 24, 2010 – 7:08 pm
ingrid - LOL, I’m one of those that would prefer a different berry. Blueberries are hit or miss with me.
This looks great! I love that it’s a no bake dessert but as usual I do have a question. How long can you leave those sitting out? Remember I told you I was doing a dessert table for my brother’s wedding “party” (it’s very informal)? Well, I was thinking this would be great as mini cheesecake bites. I could put bowls of sauces and berries to top them with. Are they too lemony for a chocolate sauce? Sooooo, what do you think?
~ingridApril 24, 2010 – 10:38 am
Memoria - Wow. This cheesecake is major intense!! The topping is beautiful and enticing. I never ever knew you could whip evaporated milk. I don’t know if that is good to know for me haha.April 19, 2010 – 7:42 am
gnee - Your blog is beautiful! I enjoy visiting and Tiffany in NYC told me about your blog when I was on a mission there. Loved your April Fool’s Day spoof too. Congratulations, you’ve earned a “Happiness 101″ Award!

Bella Rae @ Cupycakey - I am truly in Love. I just came from your Orange Rolls and thought …that was it!! Now..I know, this is it!! {I love exclamation points too

Jessica - Thanks for the yummy birthday treat. They were beautiful and very tasty. I am so lucky to have a friend like you!!April 18, 2010 – 11:18 am
Barbara - A lot of my older recipes (ahem) have evaporated milk in them. It was a staple in my mother’s era…probably because of WWII.
Anyway, your cheesecake looks divine and I love all those blueberries pouring down the sides!April 18, 2010 – 10:16 am
Mimi - It looks very light and refreshing. I had forgotten that you could with canned milk, we used to do it all the time as kids.
MimiApril 16, 2010 – 11:20 pm
jenny lunsford - Oh I have a MAJOR sweet tooth right now! And lemony things, I crave that all of the time! And cheesecake! Oh man! Sigh! I’ll have to limit these sweets to once a month. Lol.April 16, 2010 – 5:10 pm
Diana - Your cakes are killing me…:)))April 16, 2010 – 12:04 pm
