Cheesy, bubbling classic comfort – Scalloped Potatoes. Yes, this is my famous recipe that I always get requests for! Perfect special side for Thanksgiving, or as a great side to a vegetarian meal if you sub out the chicken stock for vegetable stock and serve…

Add a nice tall glass of Pellegrino with a squeeze of lime or lemon. Finish off the meal with a limoncello infused tiramisu for a memorable meal that will make your taste buds dance!
