It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe from my own kitchen or a guest author favorite. It could be a cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes the eye and fancy…which today is RED POTATOES WITH CHIVES!

I’m always looking for side dishes that are a little different or outside the normal fare. Hey, everyone can get bored with simple mashed or fried potatoes! LOL I’m not usually a fan of recipes that include lemon juice–nope, not a fan–but this is the one exception. With the other ingredients, it’s a refreshing flavor change. Goes great with any meat choice….or no meat at all.

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!
