Rosemary garlic roasted potatoes and pumpkin

Pin It Now!


In the case to find a joy for the simple cooking and baking, I actually prefer the quick and easy, such roasting the very basic vegetables to be a nibble whenever needed.

Since my son starts schooling, I need to create anything simple, not to say that I fetching less patience but the fact I tell you the truth, I am just human being and not a super woman, anything simple, quick and tasty, oh I would always go for it! :)

I am not all about complaining after realized that I find out my day seems moving too quick and it isn’t fair if I wish a day to have 48hrs.

After all, this is what I love the most, taking an important panel in a role as mother and a wife, I’m blessed and I cherish in these precious days.

To me, it always easy to be inspired, making something satisfied nailed to your version and it would be lovely if it turns to be your favorite!
Like this one for example, an easy peasy Rosemary garlic roasted potato and pumpkin, somehow they are always works best for our snack and I can munch non stop!

  3. Believe it or not, the only time I've roasted a pumpkin is to make pumpkin pie, but I LOVE the idea of baking it for a savory dish. Love the garlic and potatoes as well - beautifully done!

  5. I hear you! My son will start his 1st grade from tomorrow and my life will be all about routine from now on. After I saw this picture on instagram, I got (Japanese) pumpkins so that I can get to try this. :-) I love a big potato fan, and roasted, fried, anything is good to me. I'm going to use good salt to make this. Got to be so delicious! Thanks for the recipe, and I ALWAYS love your photography! ;-)
