Scalloped Potatoes Recipe

March 14, 2012     Keeper of the Home    205 Comments

A couple of years back, I realized that so many of the more ethnic, unique, vegetarian-influenced dishes that I had been making just didn’t appeal to my husband (lentil casseroles, cold rice and bean salads, various curries, squash soups, that sort of thing).

The leftovers would sit around, and only I would eat them. My husband isn’t a particularly picky eater, but I came to the conclusion that it’s comfort food that he loves. I’ve had to strive to learn to make those standard recipes in more nourishing ways, adding in plenty of vegetables, good fats (in place of bad ones), raw dairy, and finding plenty of ways to keep it frugal.

Blogger Kate Tietje also realized that comfort food was something that she and her family loved and even craved, and so she wrote the book Wholesome Comfort… 

“I love comfort food. As soon as the weather turns cooler, or any time I’m feeling stressed or tired, I just want something warm, creamy, or carb-heavy. Foods like mashed potatoes, stuffing, roast turkey, cheesy or creamy casseroles, fudge…. These are the foods that make me feel better. And I know I’m not alone.

The thing is, many of our favorite comfort foods aren’t so good for us. A look at the ingredients panel on a bag of storebought stuffing mix reveals bleached flour, soybean oil, high fructose corn syrup, and yucky preservatives. Don’t even get me started on the canned cream soups and the casseroles they’re used for. I have given up eating my beloved green bean casserole at parties because of the awful canned soups.

I knew there was a need here. I didn’t want to give up my comfort foods just because I don’t want those processed versions anymore, and I know others don’t want to either. So I set out to re-make all my old favorites with real food. They were so delicious and wonderful that it naturally led to the book idea. Who doesn’t love comfort food, really? Real meatloaf, scalloped potatoes, chicken and dumplings, hot chocolate…it’s the stuff of winter. And to some, happiness. And no guilt, because this version is totally real food. I feel good serving it to my family, and I feel good after I eat it. Pure awesomeness.

Another new feature in this book that I want to mention is that we added an allergy-friendly code. All recipes are soy and seafood-free. There are little icons in the book (both in the table of contents and the recipe pages themselves) indicating if a recipe is grain, egg, dairy, or nut-free. This makes it really handy for those with restrictions.”

Scalloped Potatoes = Comfort Food

Kate has generously allowed me to share one of the recipes from the book, and I had to pick Scalloped Potatoes.

We love scalloped potatoes and have been making a vegan version that I started using back when we ate a little closer to vegetarian and dairy-free (which we don’t anymore– we’ve switched over to a traditional diet, which includes plenty of animal fats and raw dairy).

I kept up with the recipe because it’s still very good, I can substitute my raw milk in place of the “milk” alternative, and I didn’t feel like searching for another recipe. But I’m so excited to try this! My husband LOVES scalloped potatoes and so do I.

One of our comfort foods that always brings a smile is meatloaf. I’ve been adding chopped portobello mushrooms into the mix and it make the meatloaf so moist with a crazy good flavor. Thanks for the giveaway!

I have a good reason. I just won’t read an ebook. But I want these books so bad! I want them with pages… wonderful, beautiful, touchable pages. Especially something like this. A recipe book. I only want a recipe book in the kitchen… not on my computer! I’m only 22, but I guess I’m totally old school. I think kindles and other ereaders are totally lames.

BUT THIS. i might go so far as to say that i NEED it. The sad truth is that my hubby LOVES comfort food and b/c of that reality i have given up much hope of getting him to eat better – at least until i have more energy to direct toward that endeavor.

    I really like meatloaf, although scalloped potatoes are pretty high on the list too!

    My husbands hands-down favorite is sausages (venison he hunted), mashed potatoes, and cream corn. I kids love it too!

    I try preparing meals from scratch and watch (more like obsess!) over labels. So many recipes call for canned cream soups and short of making my own (how?), I don’t know what to do! A book like this would be very useful.

    I enjoy reading Kate’s blog too, in addition to KOTH. Both are terrific!

      Hi Tara, the book has 15 recipes that are dairy-free as written, and several more where subbing coconut milk/oil for dairy works great. There’s only three where that sub wouldn’t work (cheese recipes), and even then, if you used Daiya cheese, you could probably make them. We’ve been dairy-free too at different points and often make these subs ourselves, depending on what we have on hand. 🙂
