I was so excited to organize Karen’s kitchen this afternoon that I forgot to take any before and after photos! I will have to do that later this week. What started as probably 100 dishes, pots, pans, bowls and appliances on the countertops ended neat and tidy. I’m so jealous of her new space! She even has empty cabinets to fill.
Matt and I walked there, but we had to be driven home due to storms. I started on dinner and decided we’d dine in the dining room by candlelight – fish feels fancy!
At my trip to Whole Foods this afternoon, I picked up some Arctic Char at Karen’s request – she was craving a tomato/Mediterranean fish dish. We had a bunch of potatoes that Matt brought home from the market, so I turned those into a lovely rustic potato bowl as well.
The potatoes were so good. My mom used to make red parsley potatoes all the time when I was little. I prefer dill to parsley, so I have catered to my taste, but the concept – hot herby potatoes – is the same. Butter, salt and pepper required!
Rustic Potatoes
Ingredients
- 10 big red potatoes or any other kind of potato
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3-4 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 1-2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- Greek yogurt to taste
Instructions
- Bring a huge pot of water to boil
- Season pot with salt
- Quarter large and halve small potatoes
- Add to boiling water and boil for 10-15 minutes, until fork tender
- Drain potatoes
- Add butter, herbs, salt and pepper
- Serve with big blobs of greek yogurt, sour cream, or grated cheese
I am completely stuffed after this dinner that I can’t even fit any water despite my thirst!! Stomach space continues to shrink…
Hoping to fold the laundry and then start a new book! Not sure which one yet… nite!

your potatoes looks so good!
I know you’ve been reading a lot lately.. and I’m not sure if you’ve read it or not but if you didn’t you really should look into Divergent by Veronica Roth– I read it in 3/4 days.. and am on the second book now.. it’s amazing lol not sure if you’re into fantasy kind of stuff (it reminded me of the hunger games) but it’s really good! 🙂

I bet Karen’s new kitchen is amazing! You should show us pics if Karen would allow once she’s all settled in!

Those potatoes look so good!!
I love having empty kitchen cupboards to fill. When we moved into our new house, we had extra cupboard space and I got way too excited about filling them than anyone should. I’m a kitchen geek!
Jess says
….And now I’m starving! Thanks!
Emily @ Life on Food says
The fish looks great, I whipped out on my trip to Whole Foods this weekend for fish. Now I am a little upset. Parsley rules over dill in my book. Don’t you love a recipe that is so simple and good but easily switch-up-able?
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
Wow, those potatoes look delicious! Definitely need to try the recipe! 🙂

Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
That dinner looks gorgeous! Haha and I would love more cabinet space! Studio apartments don’t come with much!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Spending an afternoon organizing a kitchen sounds like fun to me! Is that weird? 😛
Dinner looks awesome!
Tracy says
What book did you end up starting?
KathEats says
On the Island by Tracey Garvis Graves – I read 65 pages straight through, so it’s good!
