If you like perogies, but are daunted by the hours of stuffing & sealing those adorable little dumpling-like bites of wonderfulness, this is the dish for you!
The Men Folk around our house love mashed potatoes!I mean really love them! It is always the requested side dish on our table.
Whats better than pasta, potatoes , cheese and Bacon?
Really! those are 4 of our favorite food groups!
but it might not be too friendly for those who are watching carbs.. or fat... or flavor!
