o I just gained 3 extra days! Woo-hoo!!! I'm trying...

Keep looking at those lists and rearrange the ingredient order several times too. Inspiration sometimes strikes after looking at it in a new way. You still have time to have the winning "aha" moment.

Good morning!

I think you may need to see an ophthalmologist for those crossed eyes, Susie

Good Morning Everyone

Good Luck to everyone in the contest....you have until Friday to submit your creative recipes.....

Here is my creation for today...... enjoy

Baby Kato: Are those little homemade, heart shaped croutons? If so, where did you find such a little cookie cutter? And did you sprinkle thyme on them (I see an herb)? That's a great idea for Valentines Day dinner!

Susie D: Geez girl... you've sure been on a "egg" kick lately! LOL

[Baby Kato]

Good morning....rosie316

They are hash browns....cute huh....

I have little heart shaped cookie cutters that I got 20 years ago, they are copper so they are still good to use....love them.

Those are so cute, Baby Kato! I'd love to find them in time for the upcoming Valentine's Day.

I was shopping on Saturday with my two girls, and we ended up in a cute little shop that has the most unique gifts. And they sell a lot of these.....



I don't know if you can see the actual design, but the pasta is shaped like tiny little Space Needles.

For one of the swaps I participated in (a few years ago), I incuded the cutest pair of Space Needle-shaped salt & pepper shakers. I wish I had seen these Space Noodles back then, because I would have included a package with my swap gift.

Hash browns... even better than croutons! I'm gonna have to find me some little cookie cutters like that. What herb is on them?... sage, thyme, oregano? (I really can't see too well, I'm using my 2" stupid-smart phone). Please send me (PM if you wish) your recipe of how to make them (in detail), because I stink at making homemade hash browns! LOL

Northwest Gal: "LMAO"! Those "Space Noodles" are awesome! Makes me kick myself in the butt knowing that such a simple idea (that I didn't think of once again) has probably made the creator a multi-millionaire by now!!! I'm assuming your near Seattle... I'm near Chicago. We have no "weird noodles" here! LOL. Good luck in the contest, hun.

Yep, we live about 30 minutes SE of Seattle.

I had some pasta from Disneyland shaped liked Mickey Mouse ears once. But I've never seen anything like those Space Noodles. It gave me a good chuckle when I first saw them. I'll bet the creator is laughing all the way to the bank for being the first to market such a simple idea.

Those are so awesome NWG... love them, we don't see things like this too often around here, wish, we did....I'll have to look next time i'm in Toronto shopping...thanks for the great suggestion.

I'm thinking that It would make an awesome christmas gift, in a big bowl with over sized fork and spoon, a nice bottle of olive oil, some cheese, fancy pasta sauce and maybe a bottle of red wine.....the possiblilities are endless....

These are simple to make. Semi boil thick potato slices and then carefully cut out with cookies cutter, add to pan with butter or oil, some seasonings and your choice of herbs....and cook on medium low heat ito your preference....enjoy!

I'm guessing maybe 1/3" thickness on the pots?... I will do probably do sage hashbrowns to go with eggs & sage sausage breakfast! Also, using a cookie cutter, I will take white bread with EVOO drizzled on top & tossed w/ garlic powder, and bake, to make croutons for salads (or garlic croutons over a plate of spaghetti)!... or whatever else! Great ideas dear!!!
