Foodie Friday-Garlic Roasted Potoatoes

I love potatoes.  I could eat them with every single meal.  They are so versatile and can be prepared in so many different ways.  In fact for the next four weeks I am going to show you at least four different ways to make potoatoes.

You will need:

Potatoes (I used red)

Minced Garlic

Olive Oil

Salt & Pepper

You can also add pretty much anything else you deem worthy

Preheat your oven to 450

Cube your potatoes

 Then place the cut potoatoes in a bowl

Toss with olive oil and garlic

Spred over a foil lined sheet

Sprinkle with salt and pepper

Pop em in the oven for 35-40 minutes until golden stirring halfway through.  I like mine a bit crispy so I keep them in the whole 40 minutes.

Enjoy!

A Tea Party

Over at Tip Junkie they are looking for Birthday Party Ideas and I realized I never posted any information about how I did my daughters Tea Party Themed party this past year.  I wanna share how much fun and easy this party was to put together!

We had the party in the park and wanted to try a Mad Tea Party kind of look. 

I made this cupcake stand out of glasses and different colored plates I found at a thrift store.  Glued them together using E6000.  I in fact used it again at my birthday party too!

I purchased mismatched tea cups, saucers, and tea pots at my local thrift store.  Each place setting also had gloves, a feather boa, and a sparkly ring.

We served brownie bites & mini marshmallow crispy squares with colorful sprinkles.....

The mini cupcakes were frosted with blue and green which are her favorite colors.

We also had glass fish bowls from the $1 Store filled with colorful candies and Pixie Stix

I had girls that were asking if they could have a party exactly like this one!  Thanks to all the bloggers out there who helped inspire this party!

Baby Blanket

Here is a baby blanket I made out of fabric squares for the Ongoing Wish Swap. I love how this one turned out! I need to get my hands on more squares so I can make more for Christmas gifts!

I also sent along the first ever hat that I crocheted!
