Wow, what a week it's been.

Our oldest turned six on Tuesday then she had her first haircut in over a year on Wednesday. 

On Wednesday night, I went to my appointment for my first COVID-19 vaccine... And when I arrived, the check-in volunteer told me that the clinic was giving out the J&J vaccine... so I wouldn't need a second appointment. 

(Much rejoicing!)

Thursday was pretty foggy for me, and I had to convince myself it was okay to lay low and allow myself to recover. It didn't happen right away, but the vaccine knocked me out pretty hard... and I spent most of Thursday afternoon sleeping.

Friday was much better... and this morning I'm only dealing with some residual soreness at the injection site. I can finally move my arm without wincing. Much.

Of course, being out of commission for a day forced me to push back my blogging schedule. To make sure I actually publish this post, I've barricaded myself in the bedroom. And I locked the door to prevent the kids from interrupting me.

I know this intro has nothing to do with potatoes. But a lot has happened this week, and I want to remind everyone that Taste As You Go is a blog. It's not a food website that churns out recipe after recipe without context or a backstory.

There is a person behind everything you see here. I wanted to give you some insight into the life that feeds and inspires this space. 

So, if you need a hard connection to what you've read so far and potatoes... know that I live for potatoes. Every variety 🥔🍠 in every form 🍟. If I had my way, I'd serve potatoes with every meal.

My family prefers rice as the side for everything. 🤦🏽 But now that I've put together this round-up of potato recipes... They just might have to accept a change of pace at dinnertime. 

Because why shouldn't the person making the meal get to eat what they enjoy every now and then... Right? 😘

If you love potatoes as much as I do and are looking for some new potato recipes to try, then keep reading!
