Outback and Claim Jumper restaurants allow you to sub them for your potato choice. Yum!

It went beautifully with the harvest gold stove top and oven. Someone mentioned deviled eggs. Bleccch! My mom was had a bit of a 'sugar situation' and seemed to enjoy lots of sweet in the food she prepared. The deviled eggs she made seemed to have about 7 cups of white sugar as part of the recipe. Then, the French dressing used on salads, and the white sugar used in the sloppy joe mix. Blecch. Too much sugar! (Sorry Mom! I love you! But, man the food!)
