Crash Hot Potatoes
These potatoes are fully of flavor and are so easy to make!
You Will Need:
{12} Whole New Potatoes (or Other Small Round Potatoes)
{3} Tablespoons Olive Oil
Kosher Salt to taste
Black Pepper to taste
Rosemary (or other herbs of choice) to taste
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in potatoes and cook them until they are fork-tender.
On a sheet pan, generously drizzle olive oil. Place tender potatoes on the cookie sheet {make sure to leave plenty of room between each potato}.
With
a potato masher, gently press down each potato until it slightly
mashes. Rotate the potato masher 90 degrees and mash again.
Brush the tops of each potato generously with more olive oil.
Sprinkle potatoes with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and fresh chopped rosemary.
Bake at 450 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

4 months 'til I DO
4 months from TODAY, I will be marrying the man of my dreams. I am so happy that I have found the most loving, thoughtful, witty, and compassionate man to spend the rest of my life with. I love my fiancé, and I am looking forward to the wedding, but I am looking forward to the marriage SO much more!
I leave you with this…a handful of our engagement pictures we took last fall by our ahhh-maaazing photographer and friend, Dianne Personett.

{The very abridged version of how we met: Matt and I met during happy hour at Thomas Street Tavern for the Panther’s preseason football game. Getting to the restaurant early enough to lock down the best table in the house, 6 girls and I had no idea that I was going to meet my future husband. Likewise, Matt and his 2 buddies also got to TST early enough to grab the 3 best bar stools in front of the big screen {which happened to be a few feet away from our table}. Over the course of the evening I had been eyeballing Matt quite a bit. Finally, with enough encouragement from my girlfriends I decided to squeeze between Matt and his friend to order a drink. Within seconds we were bantering over college football and I was immediately captivated by his wit and charm. Over an hour later, my girls and I were ready to call it a night and we left, but not before I gave my number to Matt and challenged him to a corn hole tournament the following week. Exactly a week later he called, and we’ve been inseparable to this day! I absolutely cannot wait to marry him!}
I thank God for blessing me with so much more than I deserve!
