Mashed Potato Pancakes

4/30/2015

+

If there's one thing you've all hopefully learned about my by now it would be my undying love for anything potato. I simply love them prepared every single way imaginable.

With that being said, I was glancing at Facebook when I noticed a shared post for Mashed Potato Pancakes. The image alone left me salivating...mashed potatoes with a crispy crust? YES!

Tonight I'll be sharing my try at these tasty, puffy little pillows of flavour .

SIGN AND SHARE MY PETITION FOR ANIMALS

4/29/2015

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/650/770/005/stricter-penalties-for-animal-cruelty-convictions-in-ontario/#sign

SIGN THE PETITION HERE

Currently, laws in Canada regarding animals and animal cruelty are outdated and not reflective of the severity of the crime. Jail time is rarely imposed.

http://blogs.windsorstar.com/news/dozens-of-sick-and-dead-cats-removed-from-windsor-apartment-building

This story is particularly disturbing. After removing over a hundred dead cats, the owners were legally entitled to keep some of the remaining cats if they cleaned up and provided adequate care. It's obvious here the law is NOT on the animals side. How can we return cats to people who very clearly can't care for them? They were found in freezers and dead throughout the house yet the law is allowing them to be returned?

THIS IS A PROBLEM!

It is time we stand up and demand that the laws surrounding animal cruelty are updated and punishment reflects the nature of the crime. It is time we recognize the value of an animals life.

Fines don't help the animals who have been emotionally abused.

Fines don't help the animals who have been tortured or neglected.

Fines don't bring back the animals who have been slaughtered and discarded like garbage.

Please, sign and share my petition. It's time for change and it starts with us!

Herb Power

I am always expressing the value of herbs aside from just their delicious flavour! Herbs contain high levels of vitamins and nutrients that aid in overall health. I had the pleasure of stumbling across this article which reinforces my point!

Creamy and delicious Ricotta dumplings sit in a bed of tomatoes, onions, and herbs. Quite possibly the best thing I've made to date. TRY THEM!

This recipe looks FANTASTIC! Layers of baked pasta, delicious and tangy sauce, and creamy cheese make this dish sound spectacular!

I have made similar dishes in the past and they all turned out phenomenal. You really can't go wrong when there's that much cheese!

I will definitely be removing the meat, swapping one of the cheeses, and adding some more freshness.

Stay tuned this week to see me transform this recipe from Meaty to Veggie and share the results with you all !
