With another writing prompt from Holley Gerth, here is one of our favorite recipes from an old Kraft magazine. It is very simple (has to be for me) and delicious!

Roasted Red Potatoes with Bacon & Cheese

1/2 cup Kraft Ranch Dressing (Renee is my favorite.)
1/2 cup Kraft 4 Cheese Italiano Shreds (Mozzarella works.)
1/2 cup Bacon Bits (Real bacon is best.)
2 lbs (about 6 cups) small red potatoes, quartered
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (I skip the parsley.)

Preheat oven to 350. Mix dressing, cheese and bacon in large bowl. Add potatoes, toss lightly.

Spoon into lightly greased 13 x 9 baking dish; cover with tin foil.

Bake 40 min. Remove foil; bake an additional 15 min or until potatoes are tender.

Sprinkle with parsley.

Mom has been making chocolate sauce for our ice cream since we were little. She says the recipe came from the Yarmouth Bluenose Cook Book which was published in 1965.

Chocolate Sauce

Melt 1/2 cup margarine

Then add 3 cups white sugar
Add 1 cup cocoa...
(I discovered that Hershey cocoa makes the sauce even better!)
Mix all together 
Then add 1 can evaporated milk
Keep stirring and bring to a boil!

Enjoy!
