Potato Harvest & 10 Treasured Potato Recipes

This post is my 30th "Contributing Angel" post  and I have loved writing every one! (Thank you  again to my friend Angel for allowing me to contribute to your amazing blog!).

We just harvested our potato crop for 2016!  It was a fun year because we started a raised compost potato patch (click HERE to view entire post) - yes, we grow potatoes in compost (click HERE to learn how to grow potatoes in compost).  We also grew many varieties: Red Skin potatoes, Yukon Gold, Kennebec, Russet & Blue Heirloom potatoes (click HERE to view more about the Blue potatoes).  Please enjoy the following potato recipes.

HOW TO REPURPOSE OLD TOYS 
INTO PRETTY HOME DECOR
JUST A LITTLE CREATIVITY

If you’ve had kids, then chances are at some point they’ve had wooden puzzles and toys, especially from the Melissa & Doug brand. Did you know you can repurpose those puzzle & toy boxes when the kids are done playing with them? Yep, that’s right. Because they’re wood, they can easily be repainted or stained and used as home decor. Hang with me, I’ll show you how.


Homemade Apple Pie Filling to Can!
A Proverbs 31 Wife

Apples! Apples! Apples! Ever read the cute children’s book titled 10 Apples up on Top? Kinda how I’ve felt lately. Trying to keep all my apples balanced. But at least I’ve gotten the applesauce and the apple pie filling canned! Yay!



REESE’S PIECES CHOCOLATE COOKIES
Grace and Good Eats

These cookies combine two of my greatest loves: chocolate and peanut butter.  I was surprised how much peanut butter flavor these had.  I also felt like the Reese’s Pieces packed more of a “crunch” than their cousin the M&M.


The Invisible Wounds Of A Veteran Through The Eyes Of A Loved One
Totally The Bomb

As his wife, I walk with my husband through all the struggles that come along with his PTSD as well as the physical injuries he has sustained. Almost every night nightmares haunt him, causing him to sit upright in bed, sweat pouring down his face, pupils wide. He often does not know where he is, still caught in the throes of his night terrors, so I reach over and gently rub his back. I reassure him that he is home and safe, but it still takes him a minute to regain his composure and when he does I stay awake with him, no matter how long it takes to get to sleep. Sometimes sleep never comes and before I know it the sun has come up and I am exhausted.




SPIDER EGG BROWNIE CAKE
Cookie Dough and Oven Mitt

I was walking around the dollar store the other day. I came across some Cadbury “screme eggs” filled with a green filling and knew I wanted to make a spider egg brownie cake. I’ve made coffee caramel cadbury egg brownies and really liked the result from those. The corners of those ones were slightly hard from the caramel being baked in them, but this cake is brownie perfection.



White Chocolate Pumpkin Pie Cups
More Than A Mom Of Three

Along with my Pumpkin Pie Fudge these White Chocolate Pumpkin Pie Cups are the perfect fall treat. The right amount of pumpkin flavor covered in white chocolate, bet you can’t eat just one.
