Something Tasty for You

Welcome to Sunday Savor!
I have a yummy recipe for
you today, so pull up a chair
and relax.

Dinner last night.

This recipe comes from The
Pioneer Woman-Ree
Drummond. She has a blog
and has a show on the Food
Network.

Hot Crash Potatoes

12 small yellow potatoes
Kosher salt
3 T olive oil
Fresh ground pepper

In a medium pan on medium
heat, boil potaotes in lightly
salted water until fork tender,
about 12 minutes.
*I patted my potatoes dry after
removing them from the pan.

Preheat oven 470 degrees.

Place potatoes on a baking sheet,
using the potato masher, gently
press down on each potato to
slightly mash.  The tops should
be really textured.
Drizzle the tops with olive oil.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper. 
Bake until golden brown and
crisp about 15 minutes.

Variations:
Sprinle with cheese.
Dab of butter on each.

We really enjoyed these. They are
quite filling too. These were served
with Patty Melts.

We Made It!!

These five day weeks are
HARD! The last two weeks
we had snow days making
our weeks short.

So as the picture says:
T G I F!!!

That is my thought on
things!

Hope you have a
wonderful day.

LION or LAMB

Proverb:

...if March comes in like a lion, it will
go out like a lamb.
Lends to the ferocity or gentleness
of the weather.

This phrase can be traced backed to
the U.S. settlers, who relied on weather
observation to forecast the weather.
Usually the month begins--cold,windy
and wet--lion's roar. Usually (often) 
ends  warm, quiet and spring
like--like a lamb.

Some have traced the phrase back to
ancient times and those who watched
the stars.
March begins as the Constellation
Leo is crossing toward the meridan.
Leo the Lion. As Leo marches away,
the Constellation Aries begins to rise
toward the end of the month. Aries
is the Ram. What many lambs become.

Our month came in like a lion with a
ton of snow on the ground and a
second snowstorm behind us.

How did March arrive in your neck of
the woods?

What did ya think of all that trivia??

Days of the Week

Today's Sunday Savor has a twist to it.
No recipe BUT something equally
fun. I picked up this Weekly Planner
 at Staples and I wanted to show you
what I have done with this organizing
wonder! It is from Martha Stewart's
line of organizing gadgets.

 

We sing a song in Kindergarten about
the days of the week to the Adam's
Family tune. So sing along with me!

There's Sunday and there's Monday,
there's Tuesday and there's Wednesday,
there's Thursday and there's Friday and
then there's Saturday. Days of the week
snap, snap. Days of the week, snap snap.
Days of the week, days, of the week, days
of the week snap, snap.

Instead of using the dry erase method, I use
my sticky notes for each day on my planner.
This way if there is a change in plans I can
switch days without having to erase and
re-write the menu for that day.
This has been an organizing wonder as I said.
I don't write each and every little thing we are eating each evening but I do put the main course and maybe one other thing on the note.
The only issue I have with the planner is,
I think it may be stuck to my refrigerator FOREVER!  I've tried a couple of time to
move it and NOPE not happening.
Oh well.
How do you do your menu planning??
