Super fluffy mashed potatoes

Hi guys, welcome to Sugar Salted! Maybe you haven’t notices the name change since the blog looks the same… but welcome welcome welcome! I’m so happy we’re finally meeting in the Sugar Salted camp.

Dandelion egg salad + crostini

It’s dandelion season! Or it has been for a while now. For me it really isn’t fully spring until the grass is full of yellow dandelion blossoms and tiny white daisies. I love it so much that if I had a house and my own yard, I probably wouldn’t even mown the lawn, because flowers are just prettier.

You can’t really beat something that is good yet cheap, right? I picked up the habit of adding potatoes to salads from my mom.
