Mac & Cheese, Coconut Pie, and Jennifer Nettles

Today was a mac and cheese, green beans, and coconut pie kind of day. Yes, it was. I got the easiest, most incredible recipe for "Impossible" Coconut Pie yesterday... And it was Jennifer Nettles granny's recipe!! How awesome is that? Check it out...

 Check out the recipe for Jen's granny's 'impossible' Coconut Pie. These turned out fabulous!!

The food turned out fabulous. I snagged an easy idea for potatoes off of Pintrest - which I'm becoming incredibly addicted to. It's just so darn much fun. Anyway, you just clean and then cook russet potatoes (left whole) in the microwave until they're done through. Cut them in half, then cut the halves into quarters, but don't go through the skin. Spread butter over the hot potatoes and sprinkle generously with seasoned salt (Lawry's) and Parmesan cheese. Broil the potatoes on a baking sheet for about 8 minutes, until the tops are bubbly and golden brown, like pictured above.

I've really enjoyed all the home cooking with my mom this week. The atmosphere here just lends itself to such things. Brings out the cook inside me, which isn't half bad.
