Escargot Go Go

Calling all Francophiles: For reals, escargot may seem way too high falutin to rock out at home, but this dish could not be easier. First of all, you do not need the snail shells that slipped out of Julia Roberts escargot-fine-dining contraption in “Pretty Woman.” Those shells are legit just for show. Escargot are actually sold in cans! You DO need baking ramekins, but even if you don’t have those […]

I was able to bake the remaining batter a […]

Mashed potatoes are a cinch to transform into super yummy Potato Pancakes. These are great for a light lunch with a salad or just a little snack. Serve with a little sour cream on the side. My son and husband both love […]
