God Jul! Merry Christmas! ¡Feliz Navidad! Normally, we would be visiting family in Minnesota, California, or Utah on Christmas Day. Not this year. But it will only make our next Christmas even more special! Instead, we decided to make some of the foods that we are used to […]
I love potatoes! I may have said that before but I will say that again. And though I am usually not a fan of eating breakfast, the weekends are usually an exception. This recipe combines two flavors I love: papas and chorizo (potatoes and chorizo). And if you […]
