Happy New Year and Happy 2018! Yes, I've been gone for a while, but I'm back now. Lol. Going to zip past all the excuses and dive right into this recipe.

I looked up a few Spanish Paella recipes, trying to spot the difference really, and ended up with some kind of fusion of both that my family and I enjoyed.

I won't exactly say that i have a sweet tooth but i have my moments, and on this day i wanted something sweet, savory and filling that wasn't a desert.

It is simple and doesn't need a lot of complex ingredients. Lets get to it! 2 Stalks of Leeks (with the dark green ends cut off) 4 Medium Sized Potatoe

Today we visit Normandy for a hearty delicious chicken dish that spells comfort food with a capital C! A friend sent me a Bon Apetit post from a couple of years ago and as soon as i was done looking at the ingredients, i was sure that i was going to put my own little twist on it while keeping it as authentic as possible.
