Easy Bacon Potatoes is a scalloped potato recipe and a favorite recipe with my family.

As you know, I’m a runner. I’ve run since I was 9 or 10, ran Cross Country in high school, ran during my pregnancies and I’m very proud to have completed my first half marathon in March. Run. Run. Run. It’s what I do, it’s my other passion. It keeps me sane. (don’t say it!)

I record my workouts on Map My Run and I just got my stats for the first half of 2013. I’ve run 574.7 miles. That breaks down to 95.783 per month. I want to get that up to 100 per month for the second half of the year. I’ve logged 138 workouts or an average of 23 per month. I’d like to see that number 25 per month. Here’s the biggie, I’ve burned approximately 49,081 calories!! That’s 14 pounds!! Yikes! I mean, yikes, that’s good, but holy cow, does that mean I would have gained 14 pounds if I had not been running?

So. People ask me all the time, how do cook all that food and keep your weight down! Well, that’s it. Running. Besides running, I also can’t sit still for very long so that’s a good thing when it comes to controlling your weight…not so much when you try to watch a movie!)

I’m all about some carbs; potatoes, pasta, rice, sushi

ah, sushi

wait, where was I? oh yeah, potatoes

Easy Bacon Potatoes recipe

I bought this Hidden Valley spread a while back and have been putting it on sandwiches and that’s all. Yesterday as I was trying to decide what side dishes to make with my Lamb Lollipops, I thought I’d try it in potatoes. I wanted something like scalloped potatoes. So I came up with these Easy Bacon Potatoes. I liked the smoky bacon flavor and creamy-ness it added to the potatoes.

    These look so good, Paula! Yum. We would love this at my house!

    You are such an inspiration. I wish I was consistent with my working out. I try to stay below 130lbs so when I get a little above 130, I work out a lot until I drop a few pounds. Then I slack off until I go back up above 130. Gah! I just need to stick with it. I tell you what really made me lose a ton of weight…like down to 117. The low carb diet. I did it last summer but as you know, I love carbs so by the time Christmas came, I was back up above 130. 😛 But I am good now but I need to start working out more because it’s inching up a little.

    Oh and you have the fidgity thing too? Ha, I have always had that problem. From my mom, dad and brother, they always told people not to sit in front of me at the table unless they wanted to get kicked. Ken always tells me I’m shaking the car when he is driving. LOL

    Sorry to ramble so long. 🙂 Hope you have a good evening!

      That sounds like what Wesley does Julie. He diets in January and at the end of Summer every year. I think if I gain I won’t be able to get it off, and I really really like how running makes me feel. I do eat better when I run too because you kind of have to or you just can’t go very far. On days I don’t run, I get on everybody’s nerves I have so much energy. lol Going to a theater to watch a movie is like tor-ture!!!!

    Happy Monday!

    I so wish that I loved to run. I grew up being told to get on the line and sprint.. but it was for punishment. 🙁 {volleyball player} These potatoes look awesome, and I love that you used greek yogurt to make it creamier. 🙂

      oh, I don’t like to sprint! I’m slow and steady 🙂 I played basketball in school but never liked the idea of a volleyball coming at my head! 🙂

    Ohhhh yes, ma’am. Yes, yes indeed. Need this now. Right now.
    I only run if people are chasing me. lol
    Actually that is not true, I do 5K obstacle runs and THIS is EXACTLY what I want to eat afterwards. Pinning and buffering. {because I have been too busy and a BAD “bufferer for the last week – haha}.

    OK, I’m impressed! I run and workout regularly, too, but you put me to shame! I always say I exercise so much because I love to eat, which is true, but I do need exercise as much as I need food! I didn’t get into running until only a few years ago, and it’s a love-hate thing. It always feels great afterward! Love that you used Greek yogurt in here — the whole dish sounds amazing!

      I’m probably a little obsessed 🙂 I haven’t always run this much I bumped it up a couple of years ago, then again last year for the Half. And then I thought I’d just don one Half and now I just registered for another one. It’s so addictive, lol. I really like these potatoes, the were creamy and I think the Greek yogurt made me feel better about the sauce and cheese.

    YUM! Can’t wait to try this!
    By the way, since we’re always running out of Hidden Valley Ranch, I got the huge jar of powdered mix to make it at home and am thinking of making it with Greek yogurt instead of the mayo it calls for… what do you think? It’d be a tad more healthy and about the only way I’m eating Greek yogurt is if it tastes like Hidden Valley Ranch!

      I love Greek Yogurt, to be honest I just wrote a post yesterday about my love of it. That post goes up Wed night, I think, anywho, I don’t buy sour cream at all any more, I use Grek Yogurt in everything. Wesley doesn’t even know, he can’t tell the difference. I haven’t made dressing w/it, but I know it’d be good, Vonda. I have made it with the Olive Oil mayonnaise and it was good.
