Our Rosemary and Thyme Sea Salt Blend

Our Rosemary and Thyme Sea Salt Blend

This past week for St. Patrick’s Day, we made the traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage (twice, friends…we have 2 teenage boys that are big fans) and instead of the boiled potatoes, I chose to roast baby gold potatoes with butter and our Rosemary and Thyme sea salt. They were a big hit as a side to Corned Beef and melted swiss grilled pumpernickel sandwiches with a coarse grainy mustard - YUM - why do I always write when I am hungry…or am I always hungry?? ;)

Super Bowl Sliders - the Perfect Game Day Snack!

Super Bowl Sliders - the Perfect Game Day Snack!

So, Matt and I upped our game this 56th Super Bowl and started prepping early for this Sunday. (Honestly, we have been watching what eat during the week and it seems like we are looking toward this weekend as a holiday for eating! ;) So, I prepared Super Bowl Sliders made with our Butcher’s Blend and Matt made his house made Chipotle Dip. I am sharing the Slider recipe here which is the yummiest slider recipe and will seriously impress your friends with the caramelized onions and Butcher’s Blend seasoned beef. If you are interested in Matt’s amazing Chipotle Sauce…drop a comment and let me know.

Enjoy the SNACKS…and of course, a great Super Bowl Sunday!

Anzac Biscuits...or Oatmeal Cookies Topped with our Pure Flaky Sea Salt

Anzac Biscuits...or Oatmeal Cookies Topped with our Pure Flaky Sea Salt

Here’s one of the recipes I tried out this past weekend from a cookbook I was gifted for Christmas ‘Pastry Love Baker’s Journal of Favorite Recipes’ by Joanne Chang. I always look to find a recipe that would benefit from a “sprinkle, sprinkle” of our pure Newport Sea Salt on top and this delicious Anzac Biscuits recipe was one of them. They were just the right kind of sweet I was looking for with some oats and coconut action and of course a finish of pinch of our sea salt on the top. It’s all about the sweet and salty in our home!

Our Newport Life...

Our Newport Life...

When I was recently asked by Andrea McHugh, Communications Manager Extraordinaire at Discover Newport and feature writer for Newport Life Magazine to share 2 recipes for a busy family back-to-school feature I felt like I was just talking with a friend, sharing my quick go-to recipes on the fly. I really didn’t think anything more about it until Matt went to our mailbox one morning and gave me this month’s copy of Newport Life Magazine. Andrea McHugh wrote a lovely article about our family and shared the go-to dishes I prepare for our family when we are juggling and I just need easy and healthy on the table for our family.

So, I want to tell you that these 2 recipes are the ones that I go to when Matt is steaming away at Hope & Main. Not that he doesn’t like them, he loves that he gets the leftovers after 1 in the morning when he returns from steam evaporating our sea salt. When our boys ask for what’s for dinner and I tell them Broccoli Bowtie Pasta, they laugh and know that their dad who is usually the cook is away at Hope & Main. I have been making the Broccoli Bowtie for years as it easy and checks all the boxes of yumminess for our family.
