The following recipe is my family’s take on loaded baked potato skins. The beauty of this appetizer is that you can load them up with whatever you would like: cheese, bacon, sour cream, salsa, chili, guacamole, you name it. It is also a meal where the whole family can get involved. Everyone can “load” their own potato skins.

Adding sweet potato or pumpkin purée to your buttermilk pancakes is a great way to sneak veggies and vitamins into your family’s breakfast. You can make the pancakes any time of year but they are especially comforting during the autumn and winter months.

I like serving mashed sweet potatoes and yams instead of mashed potatoes with most meals. They have more water than regular potatoes so I find that I use less milk and butter to get the creamy texture that we like. And the yams especially add a great pop of color to any plate!

These basic buttermilk pancakes are a cinch to make. You can mix the dry ingredients the night before so that they come together quickly on school mornings and busy weekends.

The combination of peanut butter, bananas and maple syrup is one of my favorites. You can either add mashed bananas and peanut butter to the pancake batter or slather the hotcakes with peanut butter and sliced bananas, or both.

Mashed potatoes are the perfect accompaniment to many meals. I love to season the mashers differently with each meal, using garlic, wasabi, and herbes de Provence, to name a few. Light sour cream is a healthy way to make your mashers smooth and creamy.

This layered bean dip is always a crowd-pleaser at parties. At its most basic it is a 5-layer dip but it can easily become a 7-layer dip if you add multiple toppings with the cheese.

Dutch babies take me back to my childhood summers at the lake. We always ate these puffy pancakes with fresh berry butter, syrup and powdered sugar but you can use any other toppings.

The following guacamole recipe is my family’s favorite version but we change up the ingredients depending on what we have on hand. We really like the combination of the salsa verde with the chopped tomatoes but if we don’t have salsa verde, we use any other salsa.
