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!

Italian Steak Fries

Always looking for something to do with potatoes, I decided to spice them up with a little Italian seasoning. What a nice surprise! As soon as I took these out of the oven, the fam swooped in and nearly ate them all before I could serve them with our dinner. So simple and a great little addition to sandwiches or salads! Yum!

Italian Steak Fries
