Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Kielbasa Potato Bake

This went fast. Too fast. You know why? Because it was stinkin' good, that's why! We are huge kielbasa fans around here so anything involving that tasty little meat makes us happy. I love the way it flavors a casserole! The cheesy goodness at the end was just the crowning touch!! A perfectly tasty and simple meal that everyone will love!
