Meat & Potatoes

¡Hola!

I hope you’ve all been having a fantastic weekend so far. Why do I say so far? Well, I’m off tomorrow, so my weekend is still going! I spent the better portion of the last two days shopping with two of my bridesmaids for their dresses for our wedding. See, I didn’t want to do the “matchy-matchy clone bridesmaid” look (I think I’ve mentioned this before… no, I know I have), so I asked my four girls to just get black dresses that they’re comfortable in. So far we’ve had success!

Since I’m on a total teachers’ schedule, my “sleeping in” consisted of waking up at a late old hour of 7:30 a.m. and enjoying a sweet potato for breakfast. After a late lunch at Sweet Tomatoes, Adam and I went to Target to pick up a few necessities. Dinner was not on my mind yet, so when we finally did start getting hungry, to the freezer we went and found the spicy Italian sausage from Christina! I was SO excited! I started defrosting the links, and decided to make my grandma’s (help me out here mom, was it her recipe?) roasted garlic potatoes.

These potatoes were among the very first recipes I posted on the blog, and they remain a favorite. The process is simple:

I enjoyed my roasted potatoes with 2 links of Christina’s amazing Italian sausage:

It was quite a delicious meal with very little effort on my part… which was lovely! I felt like being lazy.

I have no idea what the rest of the night holds, but I do know that I’ll be up “late”… so maybe 11:00 p.m.!

Enjoy your Monday off, if you get it off… otherwise, have a great Monday!
