A RHOK'n Recipe We LOVE!

Who's tired of eating and even seeing Halloween candy?! Blech. I'm over it. I'm hiding what's left to give out next year. I kid, I kid. My little one ate so much candy Halloween night that the next morning she had the worst tummy ache. She didn't have dinner the night before because she refused. I thought I'd let her learn a little about natural consequences. After spending some time on the potty and praying to God for relief, she finally said, "Mom, we shouldn't have went trick-or-treating." Yep, don't think I won't be reminding her next year when she wants to just eat candy for dinner. =) 

I'm not here to just talk about gluttonous, I'm here to actually share a really easy and yummy dinner recipe with you. This is a recipe I can fix and my family will - eat every time. To make it a little healthier I like to add some vegetable sides - to balance out the starches. 

Potatoes & Smoked Sausage
2 packages Eckrich Skinless Smoked Sausage

5 large baking potatoes 1/8 to 1/4 cup of canola or olive oil season salt  onion, if desired 
~Peel and dice potatoes and slice sausage ~Add oil, onion, potatoes, & sausage to deep, large fry pan ~Season with Season Salt (I season it at the beginning and then again before it's finished cooking.)  ~Cook covered until potatoes are tender and a little browned

Waa~Laa! It's THAT easy. My family loves fried potatoes so I figured out a way a long time ago to make it a meal by adding the sausage. 
What are you doing with all your left-over candy? I've done my fair share of helping my girls eat get rid of it.

Oh, yeah.... one more thing. GO VOTE! 80 million people did not vote in the last presidential election. Make your voice count. It's your right. It's a privilege people died to give you. No excuses. DO IT!

Sweet! Tulsa Welcomes First See's Candy in Oklahoma

Yummy!

The ladies at the RHOK were so lucky to be invited to the See's Candy media event Thursday night. Only I, Mrs. Sinclair, was able to attend, and the other ladies are super jealous. But if they ask nice I might share some of my complimentary goodies.

The event was held in the new store in Woodland Hills upstairs by the Wet Seal. It's lovely and all in black and white.

Fun fact: the I Love Lucy candy assembly line scene was actually shot at See's Candy! We got to race against each other to fill a box in a line, almost just like Lucy. (I'm fairly certain I would make the worst candy boxer ever.)

There is so much selection, and if you've never tried this candy you're missing out. While they first opened in 1921, they were primarily out west. They are now moving east to share the goodness! Each and every time you visit you get a free candy, so it's always worth the trip!

The following is the press release:
