Grandma Reedy’s Spinach
This is a staple at all family gatherings since I was in diapers so long ago. Everyone knows it but no one has ever written it down, UNTIL NOW! Great Grandma Reedy gets the credit. When doing some research on German recipes for our German friend, I found that German Creamed Spinach is very similar, but there is no cream in this recipe.

Roasted Baby Potatoes
Roasted baby potatoes are a simple yet flavorful side dish featuring small, tender potatoes that are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. They are tossed in olive oil, seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, and fresh or dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or parsley.

These versatile potatoes pair well with a variety of dishes, from roasted meats to grilled vegetables, making them a crowd-pleasing addition to any meal.
