¡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:
- Cut small new red potatoes into quarters or eighths
- Drizzle with olive oil
- sprinkle with garlic powder
- sprinkle with oregano
- Stir well
- roast at 400* for about an hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
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!
I love easy meals. They are perfect on Sundays.

That is super yummy looking. Tonight, I have some chicken masala in a package that I am so looking forward to eating – I love easy meals sometimes!
And I was GOING to let my bridesmaids pick their own dresses but THEY convinced me that I would like the results better if we went with one single dress. I think it ended up being super cute though!

That’s so cool that you’re letting your bridesmaids wear what they’re comfortable in! Great idea!
