Salty Balls!
29 MarI know, I know! I didn’t come up with the name people! I actually got the inspiration for this recipe from watching Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. Guy visited a place called Maui’s Dog House in New Jersey. They serve food in dog bowls, and the food mostly consists of different types of hot dogs.
Okay first you take your clean, scrubbed potatoes and put them in a pot with 6 cups of water and 1 cup of salt. Yes, you heard me, just DO IT! Now, I let mine sit in this water for about 4 hours to soak.
Now, just throw some butter in there with them, and enjoy! These are seriously good! The texture of the insides are almost creamy-like and smooth.
I have never eaten any of these from Maui’s, but here is my take on the dish. I figured I had better come up with something, because there is no way I am making a trip to New Jersey, just for the potatoes.
30 Days of Shades: Day 21 Chartreuse Green
23 MarThis is my actually the eyeshadow that I wore for St. Patrick’s Day. My sister watched the kids for us, and we went out to the Depot with friends. 🙂 I actually got a lot of compliments on my shadow. Normally, it’s a little bolder than I wear everyday, but figured St. Patrick’s day was the right time to wear it!
I started out by using my NYX black eyeshadow pencil, and covered my whole eyelid with it to create a base. Then I topped it with some M.A.C. Humid. For my crease color, I gradiated up with a chartreuse shade from my 120 palette, and used Virgin as my brow bone highlight. On my lower lash line I used M.A.C. Amber Lights to line the bottom of my eyes, just to give it a pop of color.

13 MarAddison loves being outside. She slowed down just long enough for me to take this photo. I have to catch her on the fly for sure!
MK with our Rosemary.
She saw me with gloves on, and she thought she needed them on instead. 🙂
Ta-Da!! Here is the finished project! I would have like to put some Aqua Globes in there, but my husband THREW THEM IN THE TRASH! Yes, you heard me right. *Sigh*
Rosemary… it smells FABULOUS!
I left the little cards in with the plants. I probably will have to refer back to them time and time again in order to take care of them properly.
This is a plant called a Snow Princess. I have no idea what it is really– I just thought it would look good in the owl that I bought from Hobby Lobby. I was going to buy an asparagus fern to put in it, because that was what someone suggested to put in it, but when I went to Home Depot, they all looked a little dreary. I couldn’t find one that didn’t look droopy and sad, so instead, I chose this. Sadly, it makes me think of Dora the Explorer… the Snow Princess episode. What?? I’m a mom, and I figured Addison would love the name, so there ya have it!
