Living in a Material World…

Well…we’re living in a material world.And of course, we wear material of some sort every day. I thought it would be fun to combine more of the Sew Special images with this Fashionista paper by Graphic 45. A very vintage material girl look. Can you imagine what it must have been like to sew every item in your wardrobe and that of your family? What a huge job! I’m so glad we have the mall now! Release date for this set is this Tuesday. 🙂

Now totally off-topic…We had the yummiest potato salad last night with shish-ka-bobs for dinner. I’m QUITE sure this is not the most diet-friendly dish but we enjoyed it. I hadn’t made it in years…over TEN! I know this because I made it once at our old house. It was from the back of a Miracle Whip salad dressing jar and hubby was mentioning it Friday night. “Why did I never make that again?” Because I had totally lost the recipe, that’s why! LOL After a little searching, I found it on the Kraft.com web-site and I’m reposting it here so that I never lose it again!

Roasted Potato Salad

4 cups quartered unpeeled small red potatoes

3/4 cup  MIRACLE WHIP or MIRACLE WHIP Light Dressing

4 slices OSCAR MAYER Center Cut Bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled

2   hard-cooked eggs, chopped

1/4 cup green onion slices

1/4 tsp.  salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

PREHEAT oven to 425°F. Place potatoes in 15x10x1-inch baking pan sprayed with cooking spray.

BAKE 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes are tender and golden brown, stirring after 20 minutes.

MIX dressing, bacon, eggs, onions, salt and pepper in large bowl. Add potatoes; mix lightly. Serve warm or chilled.

Have a beautiful day!
