Hello lovelies, I hope everyone had a lovely weekend and is ready for a beautiful week. I had another wonderful weekend. It consisted of beach times and catching up with my best friend and our other wonderful friends.
This is a great recipe for a rushed night. Switching mashed potatoes for sliced potatoes speeds up the cooking time a lot. This is a wonderful and filling recipe.
