Life as an Aced

The other day I decided to try something different  ---  I have been BBQing a lot lately and a popular thing on Pinterest has been potatoes on the grill. They have so many different varieties and favors but when I saw Bacon and Cheese Ones I knew that was something I could get Eddie on board with. The Recipe I adapted mine from came from Taste of Home . It was the most basic and simple and figured I could add my own flair easily to it. In the original recipe they had the potatoes in a foil wrapper but in the comments a few people mentioned that foil containers were a ton better so that's what I went with as well Campfire Potatoes Ingredients Foil Container 4 Potatoes 4 Slices of Bacon 3 tbsp Parmesan Cheese 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder 1/2 tsp Onion Powder 1/2 tsp Salt 1/2 tsp Pepper 2 tbsp Olive Oil 1/2 cup Cheddar 1/2 cup Mozzarella Directions 1) Pre Heat Grill 2) Peel Potatoes and dice into cubes 3) Combine Potatoes, Parmesan , garlic powder, onion powder,...

I have seriously found the easiest way to make Baked Potatoes. . . Put them in the CrockPot!!! I found this tip on Pinterest a while back and seriously haven't made baked potatoes any other way since CrockPot Baked Potatoes Need: CrockPot Foil Potatoes Directions: 1) Wrap Potatoes individually in foil 2) Place in CrockPot and cook on low all day

I haven't made bar chips in a while and instead lately just been taking the easy route with frozen fries.
