Juneteenth Baby

It's June and what a fabulous month it is.
Not only does this month mark the start of summer- but it's birthday time!!!!!!!!
Yes not just one- but two birthdays.
My birthday is the 19th and my sister's is the 20th. I know its crazy that we're so close- but actually we are one year and one day apart.

Just a little WIKI for ya:
Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, is a holiday in the United States honoring African American heritage by commemorating the announcement of the abolition of slavery in the U.S. State of Texas in 1865. Celebrated on June 19, the term is a portmanteau of June and nineteenth, and is recognized as a state holiday in 37 states of the United States.

^{Super cool birthday I must say.  Our sign is Gemini (the twins) and we are like just twins only not.}

I have to say I really like this veggie. It's very versital and happens to go with just about any meal and it's even a meal in itself.

Most recently I created a new potato dish using red skined potatos and whole grain mustard.

 

I started with olive oil in my cast iron.

When hot I added my chopped potatos, salt and pepper.

After they start to brown a little and look "crispy" add whloe grain mustard.

I like this brand best, but any whole grain will work.

 

I also add classic Frenches Yellow mustard, thyme, apple cyder vinigar and a pat of butter.

Once all has cooked in the skillet together and the potatos are cooked to a desirable texture add two hand fulls of fresh baby spinach. Allow the spinach to cook just until it looks soft and a wet dark green in color. remove from heat and serve.

 

I had this dish with cous cous (more on the pasta side). Super deliciuos.
