Wrapping Paper and Ribbon Storage

By Ana

Rolls of wrapping paper stored on dowels suspended by metal chains.I do a lot of crafts in a small space. My collection of wrapping paper seems to grow this time of the year. I make my small area more efficient and a space saver with cup hooks, wood dowels, and plastic or metal chains.

Crispy Loaded Potato Patties

By attosa

Potato Patties with sour cream cheese & chives on plateThis is a fantastic way to make use of your leftover mashed potatoes. I used skin-on mash because it tastes more like a loaded baked potato, and adds fiber. These patties are creamy on the inside and crispy on the outside. It's a great way to turn something old into something fantastically new!
