I met Krista 7 years ago and ever since then we've been like Two Peas In a Pot...

...we've seen each other at our BEST.....and our WORST....

The other day I noticed bunch of sad looking bananas in the basket.....you know the ones that are still perfectly good to eat yet your children won't touch them....

....not a chance....once BANANA gets those little black spots in my house.....it's over....finish....the END....

.....unless I turn them into something new.....yummy....delicious, but there is a catch as well.

It's been 5 weeks since the accident and to be honest both of my children are not dealing with it that well...we still have a long road to recovery ahead of us and as a mom it really frustrates and hurts me to see my babies suffering due to some else negligence.....

.....especially knowing that there is not much I can do, but be there for them....love them....hug them.....and of course....cook and bake for them.

Wild Mushroom & Sausage Scalloped Potatoes

Wild Mushroom & Sausage Scalloped Potatoes

This is not your typical Scalloped Potatoes dish....as you know usually scalloped potatoes are served as a side dish.....not int his case.

Growing up in Slovakia scalloped potatoes where a comfort food served as main dish and it always had some meat product in it.

There are so many versions of Slovak Scalloped Potatoes or Potato & Sausage Casseroles (whatever you want to call it).....it really depends on the taste of your family and of course food budget.

Over the years I tried many variation of this dish and it is always a hit.One of my favorite variations is WILD MUSHROOMS & SAUSAGE SCALLOPED POTATOES.
