Ok, so like many of you, one of my goals this year was to cook more hot meals for my family. With a full time job, a hubby and son, and Between the Sheets Co., that is sometimes more than a challenge. However, thanks to this great invention of Pinterest (LOVE!), I’ve been able to come up with some pretty tasty dinners! Here’s a side dish that is delish and EASY! Goes great with chicken or beef and can be served along side a salad!
Ingredients
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
Preparation Instructions
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in as many potatoes as you wish to make and cook them until they are fork-tender.
On a sheet pan, generously drizzle olive oil. Place tender potatoes on the cookie sheet leaving 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 crushed potato generously with more olive oil.
Sprinkle potatoes with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and fresh chopped rosemary (or chives or thyme or whatever herb you have available.)
Bake in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Here at Between the Sheets Co., we’ve been working hard on getting our name out there, gaining more loyal customers and trying to get in where we fit in.

Mama says you can beat the summer heat with some sassy goodies poolside. Here’s her secret recipe for refreshing CitrusAde:
5 lemons
5 limes
5 oranges
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 quarts water
Squeeze the juice from 4 lemons, 4 limes, and 4 oranges and pour into a gallon jar or pitcher. Slice the remaining fruit and save for garnish. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Refrigerate. When ready to serve, pour over ice from your Between the Sheets Co. ice bucket and garnish with the sliced fruit. So cool and refreshing.
And Mama wants to remind you to use your sunscreen!

Mama Says…. Daddy needs some grillin’ goodies for Father’s Day! How ’bout getting that special Dad, Hubby, Granddad, or Daddy-to-be something special for his grilling needs? Between the Sheets Co. can set you up with a great cutting board for the steaks and burgers…and it can double as that special lime cutting board in his bar. He’d love to show off a matching ice bucket or tray when serving up his man friends. Dad not a griller or entertainer? How about a nice sheet set for thank you notes he’ll be writing to all the UNsassy relatives who gave him that same boring tie? Maybe they’ll get the hint! Be kind to Dad – it’s his special day. Order now to get your goodies in time for Father’s Day and Happy Day to all you Daddies out there.
Love, Mama
