Oven Roasted New Potatoes

I am really enjoying my garden. I had several potato plants and so I dug up some potatoes and roasted them for tonights supper. They turned out wonderful! The outside was browned and slightly crispy and the inside was soft and tender.

This recipe must be made using new potatoes or very small ones. The temperature is high but it is needed to get that beautiful outside. I peeled them but you could leave the skins on if you want. This recipe serves about 2.

Oven Roasted New Potatoes

8 new potatoes
1 Tablespoon of olive oil
1/4 tsp each or salt and pepper
1/8 tsp garlic powder
Optional 1/2 tsp dried parsley

Peel and cut potatoes so that they are all pretty uniform in size. Mix oil and spices together and gently toss with potatoes. Place on baking sheet sprayed with non stick spray. Cook on 450 for about 20 min. I finished by broiling them for 3-4 minutes to get them a little more brown.

My $100 Kitchen Cabinet Makeover!

I'm so excited to share today's post. It's something I've been working on for about 2 months, on and off. But it is finished and so today I'm sharing how we renovated our kitchen cabinets for about $100. When we bought our house in a little over a year ago, I fell in love with the kitchen just by the listings photos. UPDATE!!! Check out this post to see how I also stained my island! It was HUGE and there was about a billion cabinets. The kitchen in our old house was a pretty good size also and I knew I would not be content with a smaller kitchen. So these pictures sold me. We bought the house and moved in and I lived with the kitchen for awhile but the cabinet color was really bugging me. I liked the counter tops well enough but they clashed with the cabinets. We did not have the money to replace all those cabinets so the next decision was to either paint or stain them. I stumbled upon General Finishes Gel Stain and thought the id...

$5 Laundry "Room" Update

I don't have a laundry room. I have a laundry closet right off the kitchen. I actually love it there because it is so convenient to keep laundry going through out the day. I wish it was a little bigger and I have future plans down the road, but for now I have to keep it organized or there is just not enough room for it all! Here was the state of my closet before. Not too bad, but there were things in there that shouldn't be in there (a sprinkler??) and it just was cluttered. Not to mention plain and boring. I think I've mentioned before on here how much I love Dollar Tree. If not, I'll say it now. I love Dollar Tree! They have some of the cutest stuff! So I went there today to find some things to organize this with. Here's what I came up with. I bought the 3 aqua colored baskets today and the green and gray tray I was already using. I wiped everything down and got to work. This is what it looks like now. The two hanging ...

Thrifty Thursday-Marked Down Bread

Today I am sharing a tip that I use to stretch my meals out a little. I buy marked down Italian bread loaves in the store bakeries. I bought this loaf for $.72. It was only $1.00 to begin with but $0.28 is $0.28! Plus that's not the only savings you get with this. I love those boxes of frozen garlic toast that are about $3.00 for 6 slices!!! That's crazy. But sometimes, I just really want some bread with my meal. So I slice up the loaf and portion it out in 4 pieces per bag. I then put all the individual bags in one big freezer bag and freeze. When it's time to eat, just pull out a bag. They thaw quickly. I spread softened butter on each side and sprinkle with garlic salt. I sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and sometimes I add Parmesan cheese. Bake at 375 for about 7 minutes or until they reach the desired crispness. With those other boxes coming in at about $0.50/slice, these are so much cheaper!!
